Muuleey Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) I can only think this MAY be the body of a jellyfish without its tentacles. Found in East Feliciana Louisiana...Help if you can.....Thanks Edited March 6, 2022 by Muuleey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 The shape is right, but the odds that it is actually a jelly preserved in this manner are miniscule. I think this is a concretion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainefossils Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Neat find @Muuleey! I agree with @Rockwood, almost definitely a concretion - although a very interesting one at that. Generally, jellyfish are preserved in a 2D manner, such as those in the Mazon Creek formation. Either way, definitely a keeper. Happy Hunting!

Mahnmut Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hi, this reminds me of a yabby button (crab gastrolith) but I think it is to big for that. They have been found preserved in opal.
