Mattison Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have not found anything that looks like this....I don't think it is just a rock but I just don't know and that is why I am here. I have also been to many sites but don't know where to even start so I am HOPING someone here can help. I have one more unidentified item that I would like to post if this one turns out to be something. Thank you all so much and I hope I am not waisting anyones time.

32fordboy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Eh, you're not wasting our time...the Fossil Forum has been keeping me from getting any real work done since last August Looks to me like you have a concretion, but somebody here my be able to prove me wrong. Concretions are sediments that get formed into odd shapes, then harden into a rock. Nick www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 it is of course shaped like it could be a tool, but i don't think it is one. i can, however, certainly see why you would think that. it's similar in a way to some stone axe shapes. but what i really think it is, is a piece of sedimentary stone, like sandstone, which has been differentially eroded on one end, which was exposed to the elements, perhaps flowing water. but all that's just one person's hypothesizing. welcome to the forum, and feel free to post your other picture too.

Agree... sedimentary formation that might have some kind of concretion in it. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
