This is a really interesting specimen. Honestly, I’m unsure whether it is something like a stromatolite or a case of odd weathering. I’ll have to get back to you, @Sarah-Coates. @Mackenzie-Smith, do you have any insight?

Gorgeous! Do you have any other photos of this? I can’t quite tell if they’re fossil or weird mineral growths. @mackenzie-smith
-
@samantha-ocon @sarah-coates I’m tempted to say mineral growth but they could also very well be fossil stromatolites given the geological context.

I think I have one like it

4 years, 3 months ago4 years, 3 months agoFossil? In my parent’s yard in South Phoenix. We’ve also got some coral fossils I think, which I’ll post later. It’s unclear if the original owner of the house brought rocks in when he built it in the early 60s. But they’re scattered throughout the wash on the property by the side of the house.

Impressive….

Hi, @Sarah-Coates! Cool photo – there is a type of coral that can look like this. They’re called “tabulate coral”. However, I’m thinking that this might be mud cracking – @jbauer + @mackenzie-smith
-
@sarah-coates @samantha-ocon I think these are gypsum crystals growing in mud cracks.
-
agreed!

Cool! Thanks so much!!
