wetwilly Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hello, I found this while looking for fossils/artifacts along the Jersey shore. Does anyone know what it might be? Strange concretion?, fossil?, thanks for looking. Bill Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Looks like the imprint made by a fenestellid bryozoan to me 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I agree that it does look like it. I have a funny feeling it isn't though. Just maybe it's cartilage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Cape May is notorious for the paleozoic fossil corals, brachiopods, and bryozoans found there. I would go with fenestella type bryozoan. 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Here are mine from different parts of New Jersey but most are from Cape May. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetwilly Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks everyone for figuring this out for me! Nice collection Frank - Thanks for showing the comparisons. I'll have to go back and get the ones that looked like yours... that I discarded. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
