BerkOlsen Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hello, A few years ago while driving through Beatty Nevada we stopped to camp on some BLM. We were walking around looking at the scenery and stumbled upon this fossil. It’s not a lot to go on but I’m just looking for some possible identification. Thank you for your help!

Mark Kmiecik Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Looks like it may be bryozoan, but I'd like a better look at close-up details before committing to that. Edit: Sorry, I looked at an enlarged version and still not sure. Edited April 20, 2022 by Mark Kmiecik added info Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I also thought bryozoan at first, but I see nothing diagnostic. Maybe a burrow cast? 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
