Fossilized Echinoid Fragment (Calycinal/Boss Fossil)
Echinodermata fossil fragment
Weathered fossiliferous limestone
Calcitic limestone; predominantly CaCO₃, possibly containing a fossil mold or shell fragment
Gneiss (Granitic Gneiss)
Gneiss
Conglomerate
Polymictic Conglomerate
Tumbled river pebble, likely fine-grained sandstone or mudstone
Indeterminate lithic clast; possibly quartz-rich sandstone or siltstone
Likely calcite or quartz fragment
Uncertain from image; calcite (CaCO₃) is the leading possibility, with quartz (SiO₂) another possibility
Chert
Microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz (SiO2)
Sandstone Concretion
Ferruginous Sandstone Concretion
Chalcedony Geode Fragment
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Fossiliferous Shale
Fossiliferous Mudstone / Shale
Likely sandstone
Quartz-rich sandstone (indeterminate variety)
Labradorite rough fragment
(Ca,Na)[Al,Si]A̲₁O₈
Quartz Pebble
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Seashell Fragment
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of Aragonite or Calcite
Shale and Pebble Fragment
Sedimentary Rock (Mudstone/Shale with Silica Pebble)
Agate (Fortification Agate)
Banded Chalcedony (SiO2)
Likely weathered sandstone or iron-rich sedimentary fragment
Uncertain; probable quartz-rich sandstone with iron-oxide cement
Quartzite (or Chert/Flint gravel)
Quartzite (SiO2 with iron oxide inclusions)
Fossilized Shark Tooth (Fragment)
Elasmobranchii gen. et sp. indet.
Granite (weathered fragment)
Granite; chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and mica
Small dark rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly basalt or scoria
Red Jasper (Opaque Chalcedony)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Hematite (Fe2O3) inclusions
Weathered granitic rock (likely granite or granodiorite)
Granite–granodiorite; chiefly quartz, feldspar, and mica
Likely weathered quartz-bearing rock fragment
Indeterminate granitic or quartz-rich silicate rock; chiefly quartz (SiO₂), possibly feldspar
Fossil coral fragment
Likely fossilized colonial coral; exact taxon cannot be determined from the fragment
Weathered sandstone fragment
Sandstone, primarily quartz (SiO₂) with feldspar and iron-oxide cement
Breccia Pebble
Sedimentary Breccia
Small dark rock fragment (unidentified)
Undetermined; the image does not show enough detail for reliable identification.
Likely weathered sandstone or iron-stained limestone fragment
Indeterminate clastic carbonate/siliciclastic rock; likely quartz-rich sandstone or porous limestone with iron-oxide staining
Quartz fragment
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Weathered granite fragment
Granite, chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and mica
Likely weathered sandstone fragment
Quartz-rich sandstone, predominantly SiO₂ with minor feldspar and iron-oxide cement
Shale fragment
Shale (Laminated Mudstone)
Fossiliferous Limestone
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) with marine fossils
Likely milky quartz pebble
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Unidentified translucent mineral fragment, possibly quartz
Likely quartz (SiO₂), though the photograph is insufficient for confident identification
Small quartz-rich rock fragment
Likely quartz-bearing granite, pegmatite, or quartzite; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Small polished or naturally worn stone, possibly quartz-bearing rock
Indeterminate from the blurred image; likely quartz (SiO₂) or a pale feldspar-rich fragment
Milky quartz
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Small rounded rock (likely granite or gneiss)
Unidentified coarse-grained silicate rock; likely granitic composition
Fossilized Bone Fragment
Permineralized Vertebrate Bone (Hydrox yapatite replaced by Silica or Calcite)
Milky quartz (likely quartz fragment)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
