dinosaur man Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi, I found this yesterday in the Bois Blanc Formation, and am wondering if it could be a shrimp tail. It looks very similar! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Better pictures are needed. Looks like a cross section through something. Probably not a shrimp tail, however. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
