Nanotyrannus35 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Sorry, not seeing any fossils. Looks like just normal rocks to me. Enthusiastic Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Various rocks, including possibly chert, sandstone, mudstone and banded agate. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 They all look like rocks, not fossils. The second one appears to have a lot of the mineral limonite. A couple could be pieces of septarian concretions. Alas, no fossils that I see though, just neat looking rocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 This just might be a coral. Please show us a photo of it directly from above. Everything else is, as my colleagues are saying, rocks, rocks rocks. No eggs. No turtleshells. 2 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

ClearLake Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Not really seeing any obvious fossil in the blue circled area, but your third picture in the new set shows a very nice coral, probably a horn coral. @Ludwigia was correct! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Indeed the first 3 of the new photos show the coral from different angles. That is, by the way, the only fossil in that rock and for that matter, in all of the rocks which you have shown us. Don't hesitate to ask us questions if you feel the need for further clarification. 1 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
