From what I can tell, you’ve got a little hunk of quartz, with some plagioclase (a mineral that is slightly milkier-looking than quartz) and possibly some biotite (the brown colouring in it) as…[Read more]

Not certain on “Knightia”, but likely! Knightia eocaena is perhaps the most common fossil found here.

The person who gave this to me said this was turtle shell, and that it was collected from Nebraska. I don’t know anything else about it, but it’s cool!
