Please help ID these rocks or minerals

The first picture looks like dog poop. I know it has a technical term just couldn't think of it. The other rock looks like a plant stem. Not sure just a guess.

The other is 6" long and looks layered glass.


The last looks like burnt wood but it goes in different direction.

I hope you can confirm or inform me about these rocks. Thank you for looking.

Pics 1 & 2 I can't tell...Geode is the word your thinking of?

As for pics 3 & 4 I'm thinking calcite? Do the typical tests...With 5 & 6 the same...Casserite/hematite?

Thanks you guys. I am as dumb as it gets when it comes to rocks and minerals. I do have a facination for them. God's art work I say.

Burdie:

I am not real certain on some of these, but...

1. looks like the quartz core of a thunderegg.

2. could be coral

3. Selenite

4. Schorl (black Tourmaline)

Great looking rocks. Thanks for sharing.

Hope this helps a little.

hey Burdie,

where did you find these? that would help. The first two look like items commonly found in florida rivers. first being a piece of poop. coprolites are fossilized poop nuggets from, well, anything that pooped back in the day. Alligator coprolite seems to be a popular picture found on the net. the second sure looks like a coral fossil (also found in abundance here in florida, its actually our state rock)

the others could be easily ID'ed with a mineral or gem book.

I would get a rock hound lap person to cut that poop shaped rock for you looks like it's real pretty inside (some of this makes fine poop jewelry) or you could get it positively ID'ed (rock club or college geo dept.) and mount it as a specimen.

nice rocks!

I know this is an older post but these rocks are gorgeous! God's artwork is right! Curious to know if you ever got a positive i.d. on what they are?
