New Members MidwestRockHound Posted July 7 New Members Share Posted July 7 I found these specimens in the Keweenaw peninsula earlier this year. Any thoughts on what these could be, on my Reddit forum, someone didn't think that the two rocks in the one picture or fossils. They don't look like potosky stones, but the little hexagonal and shimmer in the light. Especially when wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Probably rugose corals - similar to Petoskey stones Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I would call the first two rocks. The last one is tabulate coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just my imagination, but aren't there segmented areas that radiate away from the lighter spots?

Fossildude19 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 The first two look like Charlevoix stones to me. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
