Recommended Posts

Hello to everybody :)

 

   This is my first post and I'm new here but I would like to kindly ask you about the object I've found in Poland. Is it a Cycad fossil or Bennettital fosil or maybe non of them are ? Diameter - 32mm Height 31 mm.

 

Best regards

 

Tomasz

Is sponge on the list ? That I can't quite rule out. It doesn't look like a plant fossil to me though.

I tried that just now too. I see what you mean, but it lacks some of the geometry seen there. Wait for more opinions.

A classic ‘bird’s nest’

Local quarrymen called these peculiar structures ‘bird’s nests’ – but they are in fact the fossilised remains of a fern-like plant known as a cycad.

 

I do see the resemblance! The upper left corner of your specimen gives me hope that an expert can verify your thoughts.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
