      fulgorites are those solidified sand sculptures left by a lightning strike, right?

      Yeah, there was a movie about these! One of the main characters opened a business selling these. He would put rebar in the sand before a storm to get more strikes from the lightning. Then clean and polish them up.

      Hi @mike-steinhorst are you looking for a fossil ID? If so, could you update this post with clear pictures of the specific specimen in question! It isn’t clear from these photos!

      It would help a lot if it was cleaned off

      @mike-steinhorst, like @bill-heim suggested, updating this post with pictures of the specimen cleaned and with scale can aid in the ID process!
