Jeff McClendon Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi in the USA in Oklahoma we find Barite crystal formations with sand coatings that are called Barite Roses. Selenite (gypsum) and Calcite crystal clusters can also form under similar circumstances with sand coatings and inclusions. Jeff 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachHunter Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Welcome to the forum Edwardo. Reminds me of a large petrified walnut. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDancer Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 One thing that might help identify it as Barite or another mineral : Does it feel light or heavy for its size? Barite has a heavy feel, gypsum and selenium feel lighter. Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmancoyote1 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Looks like a coprolite. See the images from a Google search for coprolite. You're not ****ing us are you Edwardo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a possible sedimentary concretion (elongate concretion) to me. Could just as easily be a waterworn piece of sandstone. https://www.priweb.org/index.php/education/education-projects-programs/earth-101/concretions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
