Jen Marie Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hello, I have been finding all sorts of neat rocks and marine fossils in the desert outside of Yuma, Arizona where the Colorado river had once flowed into a large ocean. There seems to be some sort of worm creature fossilized in this stone? I would appreciate an ID on the specimen, or speculation as to what it is? Thank you.

grandpa Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 A warm welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. I believe what you have found is a crinoid stem. Do a google search and you will see similar picts to what you have. Again, welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I agree - a crinoid stem in chert. LINK Oh, and Welcome to the Forum.
