New Members HawgJaw Posted October 23, 2021 New Members Share Posted October 23, 2021 Found this a few days ago in a local creek that has Woodbine. When I picked this up it had an "echinoid sheen" to it. Also thought it was just a possible bi valve. Not so sure after looking at Turtle egg fossil or rather possible turtle egg fossils on Google.

caterpillar Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Sorry but I don't see an echinid and let alone a turtle egg http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I'm pretty sure that's a concretion. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members HawgJaw Posted October 23, 2021 Author New Members Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks for the constructive feedback. I mentioned echinoid because it had that look on the surface. Not the shape certainly. There's no pattern pointing to that either, like I said I really only mentioned it because grabbing it out in the daylight and initially looking at it that was my first impression. More than likely its a concretion but it certainly stands out among the iron rocks . Thank you very much for the kind constructive feedback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
