What would you call these?

[ScottNewMexico]

Took these pictures up on the high bluffs of Bandelier, New mexico. Just curious what these are? They do resemble sea corral.

they are fossil coral.........

Antlers?

 

[dg39]

Petrified coral. Find it even here in Louisiana, where I live. You will find a number of different types. Start a collection. Back in the fifty's when I was a kid, you could walk the stream beds and find it sticking out of the mud or sand...

easy ,back a few 100,000s years ago it was a shallow sea(y do you think there is so much damn sand in the south west?) then threw plat tectonics pushed pulld and heaved it to it present dispasition.there are place were the mud flats that dinosaurs walked threw and fossilized they were pushed 90 degrees and are now cliff faces pretty cool hu!also somewwere i forget(us or canada) there is a fossil foot print of a human size 9 or 10 foot/boot/shoe print in the same sort of situation ........time traveler ,fluke of nature ?

Out of place artifacts obviously show either our understanding of geological striata formation is all wrong, or mainstream archeology and anthropology is.

Fulgerite? It's possible at that altitude. From the Wikipedia Dictionary.

'There is sometimes spectacular and unconventional lightning damage. Hot lightning (High-current Lightning) which lasts for more than a second can deposit immense energy, melting or carbonizing large objects. One such example is the destruction of the basement insulator of the 250-metre-high central mast of longwave transmitter Orlunda, which led to its collapse. It also causes sand to fuse into glass tubes and branches like a tree with an empty center (know as fulgarites), at the site of a bolt hitting the ground. These fulgarites are very collectable.' But, hey. I can't see it very well on the photo.

sorry group think your way off........

HI possible dek, but here are many down here that are caused by lightning . I have followed some down into the sand for a bit Reminds one of temite tubes

I have to back grouper in this .

Just examine it with a scope or strong hand lens to see if it is organic or merely fused sand crystals.

Seriously, examine it with a lens, you can easily see if it is fused materiel or a replacment thingie.
