New Members bcal Posted December 16, 2023 New Members Share Posted December 16, 2023 I found this sticking out of the ground. I walk through a semi wetland woods. Often, I find many things like this. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Can you please provide more information like what state it was found in, what area, and give some measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Hi, The first photo reminds me of sandstone. But it would be nice to give some details about the location and size, as requested previously.

Ludwigia Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 This is a rock and not a fossil in my opinion. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 This looks like an example of differential weathering to me. The harder minerals are being exposed by weathering removing the softer matrix. 1 1 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 The layering and angles seen here are features that are seen in cross bedded sandstone. It commonly forms in rivers, or, on land, in sand dunes. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
