I thought I had seen the whole gamut of shapes and materials from the Lee Creek mine spoils, but this tiny (2cm) specimen has me stumped. It looks like a tiny brain with “folds” radiating away from a central seam. The “bottom” has a deeper seam, like the meeting of two halves of a walnut. I have found blocks of milky amber in North Carolina before, but nothing with any symmetry. if it’s a coprolite, what’s the seam? Could it be a little skull cast? I have been staring at this thing for a year. Please help. Frank

Here is the first ostracode that I have ever found... YAY!!! It was found in some of the Lee Creek / Pungo formation matrix that I brought home from Aurora, NC after this year's fossil festival. The scale in the pictures is in 1/16 of an inch increments. I was totally surprised when I "stumbled across" this. Enjoy! Pictures: -Bill H.
