Another ID from Holland

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

my last find an then i’m out for the moment, did my research, but at the moment I see shapes in every rock.. Can you take a peak if this is of interest?


I Do see small shell shaped forms, but i’m not sure what the 4 to 5 round, and smooth impression are, they are smooth as silk, and vinger top size ( on boths sides present, furthermore the lobster red shape, that looks a bit lime a shrimp to me.


Some location: Doesburg Holland, most likely Pleistocene deposit layer, exposed due to sand mining.

 

i’ll post some overview shots, follwed by some magnified ones.

Looks like chert or dolostone, to me. 

The only fossils I am seeing are the things in the last two pictures. 

They appear to be cross sections, so I don't know what they could be.

Ok thxn all,any advice on how to clean this? Did attempts with plane H2O and a toothbrush, but it doesnt do much. Same with table vinegar. Some fine sandpaper to gently remove the top layer?

 

thxn!

The multiple conchoidal fractures are odd.  Is there any pattern to the flakes -- edge development, parallelism?  It looks like the right size to smash bones of Pleistocene megafauna.
