I think I have an iron oxide  concretion. The shape is driving me nuts. Is there possibly a fossil in there ? I can't find a picture similar enough. Thanks for any help ..I'm learning!

I do not recommend trying to figure out ironstone concretions. They'll drive you nuts. :)

But seriously, ironstone does have the capacity to be, or contain fossils. By far, most of the shapes seen in it are just odd shapes that have nothing to do with fossils though. I'm afraid that is the case with this example.

Cool concretion! I would have picked it up and kept it even if it's not a fossil. Nice find -- intriguing shape.

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
