Savage11 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I think this is a concretion, looks similar to a clam. If it is a concreation, should I break it open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Looks like a concretion to me. The overall odds of there being a fossil in it are typically not good, but I would give it a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybot Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) I agree with Rockwood. Please update us on how it goes!

Ludwigia Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 The chances of finding a fossil in this is reciprocal to what fossils are to be found, if any, in the surrounding sediment. Good luck! 1 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 This look is common in concretion. It appears to be small shells and/or shell fragments. I can't really tell for sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
