“Dimensions: 3.5" wide An ironstone concretion ("indian paintpot") showing a range of reds and oranges over some subtle botroids. The Licking River in Washington Twp, Licking County, Ohio is littered with ironstone concretions, varying in size from a pea to a watermelon. The predominant mineral is goethite. Some have fossils at the core, others seem to have formed around existing stones, and others have a soft powdery clay within which botryoidal forms grew. This specimen was collected from the Licking River behind the Velvet Ice Cream factory. The location is a 30 minute drive from the more famous Flint Ridge area. As a river find, the specimen could have been washed down from somewhere upstream. July 2010. ”
