Need help

This is my first post so I hope photos show up. I’m a farmer and I found the specimen in a field. It has odd patterns and appears to have some quartz or crystal formations so I would like more info if possible. Thankyou

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Tydot! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) so if you ask a question, etc. - people may have more success helping you (if necessary)...

2nd - I moved from Today's Finds! over to Forum: Rocks/Gems for more exposure.

Welcome. It looks like a sedimentary concretion of some sort. What state are you located in? Makes all the difference.

Thankyou, I will fill all that out. I’m from southern Illinois, just west of the Ohio river.

Welcome to tnet!

Your item is the result that happens as drying mud along with water with minerals hardens. Most likely the inner crystal structure is usually a make up of calcite. At this time I remember the right terminology for this type of rock.

Cool, thankyou so much for the response.
