New Members KatieAnn4 Posted September 11, 2017 New Members Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Found this in South Missouri near Lake Ozarks. We were playing along a small river. I am new at fossil ID but love to collect cool rocks & fossils. Mainly just wanted to share, but would love some input thoughts...

Ludwigia Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 What you have there is definitely not a peach, although it does look quite a bit like one, but rather a concretion 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Rockwood Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It seems likely that it could have originated as carbonate related to a life form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's a cool rock, I agree. It looks to have silica-rich content, so I think it could be related to chert concretions. comparative picture from here " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

abyssunder Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Probably as a concretion, not a nodule, which could have originated as carbonate related to a life form (as you said).
