SMGWolfs Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Does someone recognize from what type of creature is that bone fragment. Thank you in advance. It was found in Buglaria near the City of Veliko Tarnovo. Exact location unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Sorry. I don't think this is bone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 This looks like a piece of cement, possibly from a statue, to me. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

SMGWolfs Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Could this be a plant fossil . Its not of cement as you can see what is its texture from inside. I all so have found those strange tube thigs that are in that rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.cheese Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hi, the bottom two look like crinoid stems to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also known as sea lilies, but are actually animals that are related to starfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Doesn't look like any holdfast I've ever seen.

Rockwood Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 The bone like texture would be stereom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Had to look that up. Stereom. Still disagree, though. At around 3.5 inches long, it is a bit large for any kind of echinoderm.

mr.cheese Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I got taught a little about a different type of crinoid stem, I know it is different as mine was rectangular and these are circles but I am unable to find anything on google at the moment that helps me ID these.

val horn Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 The microcrystalline structure in the first item does not match my mental image of any fossil. Crinoids are clear in his other pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
