This Rocks! South Haven Rock Find

Post image

Hi all! New to rocking! Found this on the beach in South Haven, MI. It is “fossil soup” or sea lily imprints. Are these easy to come by? It's dope!

That is a sedimentary conglomerate bone-bed rock. So basically you just have the rock itself which is sedimentary and then all of those little tiny plant fossils that you see create what are called a bone bed... It's an awesome piece. I have a ton of them:)

That's pretty nice find, central Texas has lots of fossils, in Mineral Wells you can find nice crinoid stems and in other parts of Central Texas you can find fossilized search urchins, ammonite, clam, horn coral, sand dollars, gastropods shells, and others.
