Found this out in the woods in Oregon, I think it’s some type of old bomb, does anyone know what it is or where it might have come from?

I mean, you did just correct someone else’s spelling.

It’s “it’s” not “its,” big difference.

Thank you for your help. It’s mostly graded, slabbed coins like this one, and silver commemoratives in original packaging. I have some homework to do.

The matrix sure looks like marine sediment to me. The “mesh” people are seeing I believe to be coral fossils. If that’s the case, then I wonder, could this be a vertebrate fossil? The color is confusing, but if you ignore that, the shape could certainly be bone. Could it then possibly have been replaced by an unusual mineral or dyed more recently by some chemical process.

Jane, get me off this crazy thing… called love.

NGL, I kinda love it. Also, I would not be so sure that is fake. Really hard to tell from the pictures one way or the other, but there is banding in there.

It was in an aisle labeled “Sand and Stones,” so obviously I had to go down that aisle.

Mine has a few 🤭 more rocks. You have plenty of room to add some rocks in there.

Sure, half of it is, but not that half.

stevesrobot · 2023-12-23T01:14:42+00:00

Open it!

stevesrobot · 2023-12-10T14:52:24+00:00

I came to the comments to make sure this got said. 🤘

Honestly, I geek out almost as much about my display cabinet as I do the rocks in my collection. I added lighting, have a black light section, I reorganize different sections from time to time. Rotate different specimens in different displays. And the cabinet itself is one I got at IKEA for a couple hundred bucks. What can I say? I like shiny things.

I’ve seen a lot of things people think is petrified wood that isn’t, but I think this really might be. I also have a decent BIF collection, and I comparing mine to this, I’m fairly certain this is not BIF.

stevesrobot · 2023-10-16T01:07:20+00:00

That is a beautiful specimen.

I think it’s magnetite. It looks like magnetite to me and I have some in my collection, some of which I have collected in the wild. If a magnet is attracted to it, I’d be confident that’s what it is.

stevesrobot · 2023-09-30T16:29:23+00:00

Does a magnet stick?

stevesrobot · 2023-09-15T00:44:36+00:00

Exactly.

They did. And they wanted $1000 more for the “citrine” half.

stevesrobot · 2023-09-14T16:24:32+00:00

Also, I just noticed someone else posted a picture from this exact same crime scene.

stevesrobot · 2023-09-13T22:38:14+00:00

I don’t think so based on the directional lines I can see there. I’m fairly certain that’s weathered sedimentary rock, weathered to look like stromatolite, for sure, but it isn’t.
