Fossildude19 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Size? What county was it found in? A more precise location helps us figure out the stratigraphy/formations present in the area, allowing us to pinpoint a time period, and possible ID's.

ynot Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 A very surface oxidized piece of banded agate or chert with deferential erosion of some layers. It could be very nice cut and polished. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members PRS Posted July 25 Author New Members Share Posted July 25 Approximately 10cm x 7.5cm. Found in a dry gulley by the Frio River in Leakey Texas. The concentric circular markings are intriguing to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I agree with Tony that this is differential weathering of a banded chert nodule. 1 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members PRS Posted July 25 Author New Members Share Posted July 25 Thanks for the information- I’ve researched banded chert nodules and it seems to fit. I don’t have the equipment to cut or polish but it’s an interesting specimen in its own right. I appreciate all who replied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
