Fossildude19 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The first picture is out of focus. It may be a coral, but I can't tell from this pic. I agree, the other one is a conglomerate pebble.

Ludwigia Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I see it the same as Tim. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 That first picture reminds me a lot of some of the rugose corals I find in Southern Ontario, but it is rather out of focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I was going to guess that it is Asteroid JX34 2002, but I contacted NASA and they say it is still in orbit. It might be a fossil coral, but hard to tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think there is only one rock, both sides shown. Picture 1 looks like may have shell fragments, but is still part of the conglomerate. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony He uses the plural "these", so I think it is two objects. As a side note, NASA has changed their phone number and it is now unlisted. I guess I have been calling them way too often. I should drive down there and talk to them in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not chumy, but i agree it could be a piece of what we call in french a poudinge : a conglomerate of pebbles.

TqB Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I agree that the first one is probably a colonial coral, looks like a favositid. Edited July 23, 2016 by TqB Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttantalo Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Sorry for not being clear, it is two seperate rocks. I will post a better picture of the first when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 In that case I think the first rock is a conglomerate of oyster(?) shell fragments. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I'm pretty sure the first one is a coral, probably tabulate as there's no sign of septa. The pattern of polygonal cells including the occasional small square crops up in a few of them, including some Favosites. This Michelinia has similar structure (Mississippian).
