There’s also a book nearby where I found them if that’s any help to you guys.

If it’s petrified (or fossilized in case I’m wrong). And if they are ancient tree branch pieces I’d say they are about 230 million years old maybe more or less. I found these in Holliston’s old railroads across from Lowland St. in 2008 before it got converted into a walking/biking trail. Massachusetts is mostly Triassic with some plant fossils, trilos and shells.

@ myFossil
I’m suspecting that these specimens are fossilized tree branch pieces. Please watch my video below.

It is a section though a trilobite, probably Gravicalymene or Calymene. Similar to specimens of Gravicalymene celebra, found in the Silurian Laurel Dolomite of Kentucky, or the Silurian in Grafton, Illinois, and other Silurian Dolomites.

The first picture shows some fracturing characteristc of chert or chalcedony (silicic rocks) however, I’m having a hard time viewing the second picture. Could you please upload one with that orientation but taken from the top please (instead of the side)? For reference I’m using UMass’s geo departments fossil and mineral site guide by Gleba. It’s a free downloadable pdf.

Thanks. Typically you won’t have that sort of texture on a scute. I think it’s chert embedded in another rock.

I think this is a sample with two minerals neither pertaining to fossils. There is a quartz and diorite quarry in Holliston so these minerals are a result of old volcanic activity. Sorry!

Hi Jen! You may want to post questions about specimens in the “what is it?” forum rather than in these groups. That’s available on the online site – not the app, yet! You should be able to get some help there!
