Sixftsam Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 My daughter and I have been hunting on our gravel path in lockdown, and have found one with almost hair like filaments running the length of it. Any chance if an ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Views of the opposite sides, looking straight down on the objects might be helpful. Also, try using a piece of white paper instead of a mirrored glass background. Please include a ruler or tape measure for scale.

Sixftsam Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Do these help at all? It's particularly that one you've zoomed in on which seems interesting. I mainly included the other to show some of the other fossils found nearby, all tends to be aquatic, so hoped that might help in am ID for the more interesting one.

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I guess by 'the more interesting one' you mean the rhynchonellid brachiopod at the top of the picture? The one to the right is a colonial coral and the third one I don't know, but possibly a sponge? 4 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixftsam Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hah, I actually meant the one on the right, that fossildude had zoomed in on. Thank you for the ID on it being a colonial coral. Will give me something to look into and keep the daughter entertained looking for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Sounds right. The coral is a tabulate. I've been working some imported crushed rock for small wonders like this lately myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixftsam Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Just realised, right in one pic is different from right in others! The one fossildude zoomed in on you thought may be a sponge is the one I hoped for an ID on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
