Jay Grey Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone. This little guy was found in some landscape rocks around a pool in Cocoa Beach Florida on September 1, 2021. Any ideas or information would be appreciated. I can take more/better pictures if needed. My kids and I are just getting into rock hounding and have good luck searching rock islands in parking lots and around buildings. We have found a lot of nice horn corals and Petoskey stones as well as a few cool agates and even a geode. So naturally we searched the pool surround while we were on vacation. This little guy was in with a mix of marble and sea shells. Hopefully you guys can help figure it out or point us in the right direction.

Rockwood Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Well, it's about as closely related to both rodent and fish, not very. It's a crinoid stem section mold fossil. It's a long way from home in many ways. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Grey Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 WOW! That is very cool. My kids will be disappointed it's not vertebrae but excited to know what it actually is. Thank you so much for helping us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Grey Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Wonderful information. Thank you. They will enjoy this very much. One more fossil added to our collection. We did collect a few sand dollars and found several live conch while in Florida as well. Still on the hunt for shark teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
