Found this 5-30-16 in my field. Posted here before.
This is why I always turn over everything I find in my fields.
What I saw. There was only a couple of inches sticking up. It was covered in dirt. This shown cleaned.
Other side after cleaning.
The bottom.
The tan areas appear to be chert/jasper. White areas in first two photos are quartz.
I love the gray/white agate formations on the bottom.
There is so much going on with this rock. It could be an agatized coral nodule, as the upper portions look like local coral fossils.
Overall size is about 3.5" by 3".
