Tiny unknown fossils from Gainesville


Coela Cant

Recommended Posts

Could not identify these little pieces myself. Obviously 1 is more of a weird type of rock formation, but I was wondering if anyone knew why it looked like it was made of all those little capsules. 2 is most interesting to me, I honestly have no idea. 3 seems to maybe be a pieces of sediment that got something pressed into it and it hardened as a print? Not sure.

The second one appears to be a sting Ray dermal denticle!

Agreed.

 

The first mystery item with the "little capsules" is likely part of a shrimp burrow which are often lined for support by small sticky fecal pellets. The texture is quite distinctive.

 

 

Cheers.
