TinySpiderMonkeyNinja Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It wraps all the way around or quite possibly just goes all of the way through? I am not sure but it is pretty! Any help you all have is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterpillar Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Sorry but not a vertebrate. Maybe coral http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Vertebrate fossils (with very rare exceptions) always lie in a plane and do not wrap around a stone. Definitely not a snake or lizard. It could be a coral rest. Edited April 28, 2022 by oilshale 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

Ludwigia Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Snake or lizard fossils are hard to come by and this is certainly not one. I agree with the others that it might be the crystalized remains of a coral. And by the way, your area belongs geologically to the Mississippian Subperiod, which is older than the Pennsylvanian Subperiod where the first reptiles began to appear and a whole lot older than the Early Cretaceous Epoch where the first snakes appeared. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Al Dente Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It looks like a cross section through a Fisherites. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
