New Members maggykuhn3 Posted May 8, 2019 Author New Members Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have been looking in this rock guard for about 4 years and have a good case to show. I recently sent other photos of an egg like object no response from anyone please respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Welcome to the forum. I can’t see any turtle or snake material but just an interesting looking rock. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I''m somewhat of a rank amateur at identifying pieces from photographs,so i'd take the following with a minute(to nonexistent) grain of salt: the structures you are showing don't look like evidence of past life edit: please don't be disheartened<the geological sciences are a fascinating(nay,:stunning) treasure trove of fun facts,processess and structures edit two: CCB-1261.1.pdf not trying to be facetious<but just trying to show what I think possibly influenced the thinking of the poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingAlongToo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Definitely looks geological, not biological.

jpc Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Howdy from next door.. Not sure what you mean by this.."I have been looking in this rock guard ".. rock guard? Anyway, I agree with the others.. there is nothing fossily about this rock. It looks like a chunk of quartzite or chert with some interesting fracture patterns on the surface.

doushantuo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 and,boy is chert interesting. PLEASE TAKE NOTE:i'm NOT joking the silica cycle and the petrology and mineralogy of all forms of silica makes for fascinating reading material(personal bias,of course) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facehugger Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 +1 for funny shaped rock. I advise doing a search on the forum for fossils found in Colorado. Also investigating some literature on fossils found in CO will help you tremendously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I, too, see no fossil. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Sorry, but these are not embryos. Fossil embryos are exceedingly rare. When they do fossilize, the don't fossilize like this.

digit Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Despite what you believe you are seeing in this rock, there are no fossilized embryos here. You have heard our collective opinions. If you don't accept these, we kindly ask you to seek agreement to your identifications elsewhere. There is nothing more to be learned here. Thanks to all the members for their feedback on this item. Hopefully, it will serve as an educational topic for those who read this in the future. Cheers. -Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Please familiarize yourself with fossil eggs. Read this topic: So, you think you've found a fossil egg? 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
