Kane Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Any chance to post the actual photos here? Many members are not comfortable downloading files for a variety of reasons. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Where in the Netherlands did you find this? Members will likely need more location information to be able to identify this properly. @Max-fossils It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think external mold (cast) of a trace fossil like thalassinoides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Oh I’ve come across many like this one before, namely on the beaches in the Netherlands where I hunt, but they can be found anywhere. They’re just dark green rocks covered with some type of white stuff. I can’t tell you what type of rock it is (they look a bit like flint but I don’t think that’s what it is), but I can tell you that they’re not fossils. I believe that if you break the rock (might need a hammer), the inside will show you that it’s clearly geological in origin. Limburg has some exceptional fossils though (namely the first Mosasaurus!), you should try visiting the museum there and ask them which sites/quarries are still accessible to find fossils. The ENCI is now closed unfortunately, but I heard there’s a path not far away where you can still find good fossils. @Thecosmilia Trichitoma thanks for the tag btw 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
