Newbie here.
I grew up in the Pennsylvania hard coal anthracite country, northeast PA. After Sunday dinner at my grandparents house, we would crack large coal chunks to find fossils, almost always fern leaves.
While working at a coal breaker, I found a multi-colored, 13 lb rock along side a breaker road. This multi-colored rock was out of place against the black coal banks and I stopped and placed it in my truck. That was 40+ years ago.
So, i come here on a quest for help with the 13lb rock.. I think it is crazy looking and unique. Maybe weak magnetic field or could be my imagination?
I already asked my neighbors on a local app, no help. I asked reddit rock group, dead silence. I blindly emailed 3 Penn State geology professors, no replies.
I also collect all styles on rocks and minerals. Fossils. Shark teeth. Arrorheads. Silver. No tumbling yet. We plan on gold panning one day.
Glad to bd here and will explore. Thanks.
