Found this after pulling up a tree. Notice the fossil that is shown in two of the pictures that is shaped like a shell.

It is light and is made up of fine particles.

@Alpha99,
how big is it? a coin next to it ould help.

Also, theres a piece of granitic rock next to this specimen. Is this area a jumble of all kinds of rock?
Where abouts are you located (country- nd region).
The focused fossil seems to be a scallop hell

The whole thing is double the size of a baseball.

The granite you are seeing is my countertop.

The fossil is about the size of a quarter.

It was found in southern Ontario, Canada.

Thanks!
