pRoDiEuS 34 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Found this is the same creek as the previous post with the green rock, red rock ( jasper? ) and lots of quartz. Even came across some fossils. Just wondering what this could be. The first 3 photos are of it try and theblast three are wet. Any ideas? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really sure what breccia is. I'll have to Google it. Is that anything special or interesting at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d_day 359 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 A breccia is a rock that’s been broken and “healed” by another mineral. Lots of jaspers exhibit this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonja 3 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi. Looks similar to several of the brachiopod fossils I have. Found mine in Minnesota. Hope this helps. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
