5 days, 4 hours ago5 days, 4 hours agoAdd location info to it if you want age. It looks like wood or other plant material that the concretion formed around. I have a piece of wood with similar texture that is Jurassic. There are also margaretia dorus that look like this, though it looks from this one image to be more 3-d than Margaretia. more pictures, especially the “top” edge in…[Read more]

1 week, 3 days ago1 week, 3 days agoThe right conditions is really all. Iron concretions are not terribly unusual, and generally if the conditions are right to form one they are right to form many.

1 week, 3 days ago1 week, 3 days ago@Matthew-Gramling is correct in the general ages of the area. However Washington is a complete mess of stuff, and while googling I found the paper linked below, which includes baculites collected from an Island in Vancouver. What little I know of “buffalo stones” and Native Americans is they are somewhat talismanic, and might have been carried…[Read more]

1 week, 4 days ago1 week, 4 days agoAlso known as a Buffalo Stone as if viewed from the top it somewhat resembles the shape of a buffalo. But it’s baculite/ammonite segment as mentioned.

1 week, 5 days ago1 week, 5 days agoNot a scute. Maybe clams but I’m more inclined to say concretions. I don’t know the area so maybe someone more familiar can weigh in. More angles might help too.

1 week, 6 days ago1 week, 6 days agoThat’s not a question that can be answered without a lot more info. Go to https://macrostrat.org/ and click on Geologic Map, then you can put in the nearest town to where you collected. I use satellite view to narrow down where I collected, then turn on the rock layers to see what I was actually digging in.

Greetings @corinne-daycross ! Unfortunately, most of my field experience is in the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene strata of the Great Plains states. However, I believe is it reasonable to assume your specimen is likely from a Jurassic herbivorous dinosaur or similar reptilian of the era. Nothing strikes me about as being from a theropod. Wish I…[Read more]

2 weeks, 4 days ago2 weeks, 4 days agoAnswers might changed based on where you found it, but to me it looks like a sandstone that an iron concretion has weathered out of. I find a lot of both in Montana and the SW deserts of the USA.
