While on a fishing hike along the coast of Alabama, I was walking on large rocks forming a jetties to the gulf. When I looked down I came across some crinoid/byrozoan fossils. I also came across this strange looking, fossilized structure. Sorry about the poor photography, but I was fishing and not set up to take any good photo's. These are two different findings, but similar in color/appearance, yet definitely fossilized. Any thoughts on what you guys think this could be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Joe

While on a fishing hike along the coast of Alabama, I was walking on large rocks forming a jetties to the gulf. When I looked down I came across some crinoid.byrozoan fossils. I am trying to ascertain where these boulders came from as It will help me learn about these fossils. Do any of you have a clue where they could be from . I did post this question under "discussion" but didn't get a response relative to this question. These are large boulders lining an inlet and I"m confident that they are not from South Alabama seashore. Possibly if I could figure out where the boulders came from, It would help me figure out where/date of the fossils. So the question is: Where do you guys think these boulders came from? There large 3 to 5 foot boulders. They appear to be granite, but I'm no geologist". Thanks Joe

Greetings Folks! While walking on rock Jetties on the Alabama Coast, I looked down and saw some Crinoids. So, of course, I quit fishing and started looking at rocks. I came across many Crinoid fossils (and impressions) and what appears to be some fan/coral looking fossils. These are large boulders lining an inlet and I"m confident that they are not from South Alabama seashore. Possibly if I could figure out where the boulders came from, It would help me figure out where/date of the fossils. So the question is: Where do you guys think these boulders came from? There large 3 to 5 foot boulders. They appear to be granite, but I'm no geologist. And now, for some reason , This site won't let me down load some pictures, only this one, so that's not helpful. Otherwise, any thoughts from you guys would be appreciated. Thanks Joe
