If it’s like the outside all the way through, it won’t tumble well. I’m hoping to get your box out by next weekend bud.

If this is like the similar looking rocks I have found here it is probably some flinty matrix crammed to the gills with teeny tiny shells

The kid and I found this interesting whatchamacallit earlier while looking for fossils. It’s fairly heavy and solid feeling despite all the tiny holes. If this is like the similar looking rocks I have found here it is probably some flinty matrix crammed to the gills with teeny tiny shells That would be cool if it’s a fossil rock. But honestly I don’t think it is. I have found a lot of fossil rocks here in Texas and this one seems different. I know there’s a good amount of chalcedony in there because I can see lines of it on the surface. I was thinking Coral at first, but it’s not really like the coral Ive found around here. Whatever it is I think it’ll be interesting. Or hope it’ll be interesting lol.

Interesting… I don’t think this is wood. Could it be bone? My wife rather think so. It’s been tumbled three times course in the rebel 17 so far. Think I’ll be more careful with it now, and move it over to a 3 pound barrel. Originally it had a smaller chunk kind of sticking out that wouldn’t have worked for tumbling, so I took it off with a hammer and chisel. I need to find that part and start working on it. This is one very intriguing Rock.
