SandySam Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hi, my 9 year old is wondering if this is a star fish fossil that he found today, can anyone confirm please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilus Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 This would be a fossil sea urchin, a very worn one. They are distantly related to star fish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Agreed. Extremely water/sand worn sea urchin, or echinoid.

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Very similar to one I found when I was a young boy. One of the first ones that got me started collecting rocks and fossils. Tell him Mark says "Nice one!". Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
