NAUfrogger Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 From n. Sulphur River. These black concave objects were all over, similar shape and size to all of them - football shape, about an inch. Has anyone found these and if so, what are they? You can be hit by a boat and die You can be attacked by a shark and die OR you could fall off the couch and die GET OFF THE COUCH - go scuba!

Traviscounty Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 These are heavily phosphated something or others? A lot of fossils in the NSR come in that flavor. Then again, I'm still learning, and could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone found these and if so, what are they? phosphate nodules from organic remains. a lot of that stuff tends to be pretty reworked baculites segments, but don't really recognize the ones you're showing.

mommabetts Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 There are a lot of the phosphate deposits that as far as I can tell is nothing. From tiny up to the size of your fist almost. You have to look at it close, fifty percent of the time it is a recognizable fossil and the rest aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
