What is this petrified looking rock,

[callmefence]

I like your little turtle. Have you ever had a paleontologist look at it. It might be a species never identified before.

Nope. Can't trust those people. Might not give it back.........

See that underbite, it's probably an extinct species.

My most recent collection of

'rocks' aren't manmade either but are pretty old. Wife was amazed considering we are 250 miles from the nearest sea shore and are about 1,100' elevation but 250 million years ago, this area was underwater..and down close to the equator. Dinosaurs had not yet appeared on land and the constellation Pleiades had not formed.

I should have said the constellation Pleiades (7 sisters) was not yet 'visible' in the sky.

I think you have your years mixed up the earth isn’t more than about 6000 years old. Obviously fossils from the Great Flood.

Don't believe everything you think.

I believe it is Coral. Look up Fossil Coral. We find alot of it near rivers and in caves, ect. in Eastern Iowa.

Found a bunch of this the other day. Curious as to what it might be.

Silver, I’m watching another geology lecture and he’s talking about how your neighborhood was added on to North America. Accretion. Some of it oceanic plateau covered by limestone. From his map, it appears most of British Columbia was once out in the pacific. Cache Creek came from far across the ocean and has unique fossils. The YouTube video is titled; GEOL 101 #31 Exotic Terranes II. Posted by Nick Zentner. At around the 45 minute mark, he gets into the details of the Cache Creek terrane.
