I thought this worthy of sharing

[Dave NWOH]

I found this rock out hunting artifacts,at first I thought they were just stuck together by mud and dirt. I tried to separate them hard enough that it hurt my fingers. They were stuck in clay exposed from a wash out. Thoughts went through my head about how one got chopped into the other, but I guess one just formed around the other. It was just interesting enough to drag home. Thanks for looking, Dave

Mother nature is a wonderul artist. The larger piece looks like limestone is there small fossils in the larger portion? Could be little chrinoid right there?

By George I think you got it!

That is really cool man. Good catch Hoss on that little bump. I'm guessing that the rocks were fused together from some very intense heat at some time millions of years ago. I bring all sorts of odd rocks home too. Neat find.

There are some great limestone beds full of fossils in Dave's neck of the woods. As a kid, growing up in NW Ohio, we had flower beds built out of stacked quarried limestone. They were full of shells and Trilobites and other small ancient creatures. Fascinating as a youngster to destroy Mom's flower beds while playing geologist, breaking apart those flat rocks.
