New Members AshleyNWGeorgiaUSA Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM New Members Share Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM Hey guys, I need help identifying this specimen that I found in my backyard. We live in Whitfield County, Ga on a big rocky hill. This land has been passed down throughout the family for at least 50 years and before that it was just unused forest land. Thre Cherokee Natives resided here in the early 1800s and before. We find lots of white quartz and lots of perfectly round rocks the size of a large grapefruit. There is natural gas pipeline going through the land. (In trying to give a much info on the area the rock was found in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted Thursday at 04:14 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:14 PM Welcome to the forum! It could possibly be a Stromatolite. But I am not 100% sure. Let's see what others say. Dave 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have huge deposits of churt in our area. Could this be a churt nodule? Edited yesterday at 01:25 AM by AshleyNWGeorgiaUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
