New Members ItsLaurenV Posted June 7 New Members Share Posted June 7 Hello! My father had purchased some boulders to place on the side of his parking lot at his office building. They brought these 5 huge rocks, and they're absolutely gorgeous. They are covered in white, shiny crystals and to me they appear to be coral? Or sponges of some sort? I know very little, but I LOVE fossils and want to learn all I can! Note: we are located in Louisville, KY but he is unsure about where the boulders came from. He thinks perhaps Indiana? I’m so grateful for your site and all of the people that help teach the newbies like me. Lauren IMG_0327.mov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I at least checked out the video. I had to keep on clicking on the pause button in order to have a good look, since the continual panning wasn't conducive to good views I'm not seeing any fossils here, but rather a lot of calcite inclusions and druses in what appears to be weathered Karst stone. I agree that they do look like coral, but those are crystal aggregates and they are quite pretty. Can you perhaps tell us where these stones originated? Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

I know that, but I figured she could ask her father to ask the firm who delivered them. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
