Cretaceous West Australian Fossil ID

[Westralian Fossils]

Went on a 2 day fossil hunting trip up to Gingin WA to search sites like Molecap Quarry and One Tree Hill for fossils. Found this loose on the floor on the western face of molecap quarry and picked it up due to it’s shape. There seems to be a hole going through it which could be old honeycombing although it may just be an awkwardly shaped rock. The age of the area is around 90-85 million years old and is a shallow marine deposit although washed out dinosaur bones have been discovered. Mosasaurs, Plesiosaurs, Platypterygius Icthyosaurs, Ornithocheirid Pterosaurs and Small Allosauroids have been found here.

Welcome to TFF! 

 

Unfortunately, I think it is just an oddly shaped rock.

 

Cheers and Shalom,

there are  a few layers of phosphatic nodules at gingin, this looks like it could be one of those... although the phosphatic nodule beds also produce bones of larger animals like ichthyosaurs.
