Cynic Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The fossil was found near the Mukhavets River, Belarus, Brest. Length ~ 6-7cm (~ 2.5 inch) whole piece. If I registered here, I will be impudent: you can recommend a book (100 -200 pages), an introductory course in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 This is actually a mineral - manganese dendrite. Not a fossil. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

daves64 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 It has nothing to do with English, Russian, Spanish or any other language, good or bad. What you have are simply mineral dendrites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrite_(crystal) Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Cynic Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 But initially I knew, I decided to check you. Is it 97.8% iron? How much can I sell it for? Enough for a pack of pasta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Trilo Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Not sure about iron content but manganese is not iron and we do not give valuations on this forum and I don't know how much a pack of pasta costs in Belarus 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.
