Bradley Flynn Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I have this little slap I polished a awhile ago, it has some really interesting critters on it. Even a micro jaw bone with teeth maybe? Has many interesting things on it, I have just taken pictures of a few. Green arrows point out the "jaw" and a few other things. The "jaw" is the biggest at a whopping 40mm.

Tidgy's Dad Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I see fragments of brachiopod shell and some crinoid stem columnals. Interesting piece, I'd be peeking at it for hours with my loupe and microscope. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Chris Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Looks like crinoidal limestone with a few other things mixed in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arizona Chris Paleo Web Site: http://schursastrophotography.com/fossiladventures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Flynn Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Nice! Thank!was wondering if I could expose these fossils a little more without damaging them and possibly exposing some hidden macros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Flynn Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Anybody know if the second and fourth close ups are pictures of a possible jaw bone? Fourth close up has a disc with a hole and two serrated edges running parallel to each other, Ancient Aliens or what?  pic below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourth close up has a disc with a hole and two serrated edges running parallel to each other, Ancient Aliens or what?  pic below. It's a cross section through a crinoid stem. This sort of thing - if worn a bit obliquely across the surface so as to go right through one of the discs on each side, the radial grooves will produce a straight row in section (red line).
