    This was found in central South Dakota in Sully County where I live on our farmland.  Sully Co lies almost center of the state on the east side of the Oahe Dam.  Our farm is located 6 miles north of Onida, SD on hwy 83 and due east another 7 miles.

    Thank you for your input.  Do you or anyone happen to know if I should try to “clean” this up more — maybe try to remove some matrix?

    Hi!  Found this in our farmyard (Eastern South Dakota) while out rockhounding.  A coral of some sort – maybe?

    Hi Walter!

    I didn’t get your attachment from your last message — a more detailed SD geologic map — would you mind sending it again?

    Thank you,

    Gail

    Found in Sully Co SD on a field border.  Picture 2 has a men’s size 7 boot next to it for size reference.  Picture 3 (image 3727) is a close-up of part of the item.  It is possible to go get additional pictures of the item soon as snow is mostly gone if more detail is needed.  Thank you all!

    Hi Walter @walter-stein !

    I posted pictures of my 2 black rocks or possible bone(s).  I hope you can take a look and, if you think they are something potentially, let me know.  I think they remind me of something like scutes(?).  They just aren’t a typical looking rock.  Hope you are having a great day!

    Thank you,

    Gail

    Hi!  I picked this blackish rock(?) in a sunflower field in central South Dakota.  I also picked up 1 other black rock (2 total) specimen(s) on this same field which I will post in a separate post.  It is heavy for its size and has a crusty grainy texture to it.  Not magnetic (dang!).  I can attempt more pictures if requested — the light wasn’t…[Read more]

    Didn’t realize how bad some of the pictures I first submitted would look.  Here are a few other shots.

    Forgive me.  New to this thought I was replying properly but see I messed up.  Jim, thank you for the links & Jack, thank you for the info to not mess with the matrix or specimen!

    Thank you Jack for the links.  I don’t think I had found that website prior as I really didn’t know it was as extensive as it is.  My read on this specimen is that — yes, I thought digit/toe maybe… especially when I turned it over.   It is very heavy for its size.  It was found almost dead center SD in NE Sully County.  I picked up some smal…[Read more]
