gijs Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 hello, i found this fossil in a quarry in sinspelt, eiffel, germany. it's 20 mm long and 8 mm wide. sadly it's missing the head. can anybody tell me what kind of animal it was? i would even be happy with the general name (like fish or maybe something else), don't need the exact species.

FranzBernhard Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Welcome to TFF from Austria! Try googling for Conularia Eifel. @Ludwigia, @Max-fossils, @Manticocerasman Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I would agree with Conularia. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) The bottom section looks like an undistorted conulariid, though lacking the usual fine detail which may be the preservation. But the top strongly angled area doesn't really fit. Edited October 9, 2020 by TqB 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I would suggest bivalve for this: 7 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
