Found this at my parents house. Thought it was a fossil and posted it in fossil forum but now i think it resembles an agate. What do you think? Heres some pics to look at hope the quality is good enough. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Something has me thinking slag. But I'm not sure.

don't think it's a fossil. I have found similar pieces here in MO. is it heavy or lite for it's size?

 

[kriopelle]

It's not real heavy. It weighs 14oz. Dimensions are maybe 3"x3"x5"

Looks like lava to me

I think I'll take a slice off the end and have a peek inside. I don't know if it will help but I'll post more pictures afterwards.

I agree with Chisos (Welcome to TN !!); looks volcanic.

Thanks Mackaydon. It does look like it has some kind of flow patterns on it. Also the location I found this was in lower mid Michigan.

I tink it looks like slag from a iron furnace.

Geez I hadn't realized how long it has been since I updated this post!!! Should I post a new one? Anyhow I finally got this rock cut and took a slice out of it but was wondering how to prep it so that the new cuts would show more detail? Any suggestions would be great so I can post a pic of it. Thanks in advance and HH

We've been hanging for a year man!
You want to see more detail?
Take your nice slice, and smash it with your hammer!
Whole bunch of detail. Send pics
Just joking. Posts surfing here.
I was thinking petrified palm and volcanic something or another.
