  • Possible Pipe?

    Hello all.

    A co-worker was eager to share a couple of finds.

    I was able to help out with the bifurcated point.

    However, I knew next to nothing about the possible pipe she showed me. I told her it might even be an insect casing...

    Any info would be appreciated. I told her she should join this forum of fine, intelligent and dedicated people.

    On a side note...my son Nuther One and I lucked into a really good fall field that gave 8 points!

    All the pipe stems I’ve seen don’t deteriorate like that, I vote on the pipe stem.

      Agree with L-M. Clay from our area does not break down like that.

        It could be root related concretion I have read about sedimentary stones shaped like a trace fossil of plant roots I think it was called concretionary siderite. It looks natural to me . Perhaps a fulgurite as LL has mentioned. A fulgurite is caused by a lighting strike and heats the sediment so hot it becomes glass. Can you see crystal or a glassy look on the interior of that piece?

          Hoss,

          Thanks. There was a little glassy/sparkly luster quality to it.

        Agree with Hoss. That looks like a siderite concretion of the kind that commonly form around old plant roots, They don't even need to be anything like fossil age, and can form in tens of years.

          Hey Flint, I’m betting your co-worker’s interest was sparked by yours. One of the kids who kinda grew up in my house brought his new g’frd and her little son over to look at my rocks, fossils, artifacts yesterday. Both of their eyes got big when I launched into my animated happy-tour!

            I want to thank all of you for your insight.
            I would expect nothing less from this membership!

            Maybe I can recruit her as a future member?

              Tell her only few women here, so she’d be special (even if mostly finds buncha JARs!)
