I’m sure it’s a site to see

INFINITEGeodes

New member
I’ve obtained a massive collection

Taking individual photos may be the biggest process after correctly knowing exactly what I’ve got. Any help would be appreciated.

Only thing I can make out is 1101 and 1100 look like fossils. I stay far away from them. :) 1102 looks like a pyrite nodule. Can't help on anything else except to say you have a collection of rocks. :) :) Keep posting some others and we can try and help.

Yes, I concur 1100 and 1101 look like coral fossils - possibly a rugose (or “horn”) coral colony (order Rugosa). Individual rugose corals have a typical animal horn shape, but they also grew as colonies.

A lot of the other pictures appear more nodular than geode-like in appearance. However, there can be a large degree of surface appearance variability from site to site.

INFINITEGeodes, have you cut or opened any of these?
 
I google lensed what I didn’t know was a geode, & did come up with the rugose coral. I’ve gotten over opening what i find & just got a bunch laying around. Last week I went to the creek & came across what I believe is a smokey quartz geode with pyrite?

Ran into an interesting feller just south of you that gather geodes. Your 3rd pic looks the part. It was neat to learn how to properly split them with a hammer.
 
Pics aren't real sharp but I don't see smoky quartz, I see more of a milky quartz. Very interesting on that pyrite that geode. I wonder how it got there. Maybe Geologyhound has more info on that for me.
