New Members Labadal Posted April 13 New Members Share Posted April 13 Can someone tell me whether it is worth preparing this stone further or is it really just a stone? Found a few weeks ago on the Baltic coast on the beach in the marl between Fehmarn and Heiligenhafen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielb Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) To me it looks like a calcite pocket, septatian nodule? Edited April 14 by Danielb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hi and welcome to the forum! I think this is a fossil, but often the fossils in flint nodules are hard to recognize and harder to prep. (Although there are flint fossils with exquisite detail that sometimes do us the favor of breaking along their natural surface) Could be a gastropod, could be a sponge. Nice find, but nothing to gain in preparation as far as I see.

Coco Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hi, 7 hours ago, Danielb said: calcite pocket, Or quartz, because the rest of the sample seems harder than for calcite.
