cousin it Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) With so little information, it is hard to say... but, It reminds me of a rugosid. EDIT: Though, if so, that septa is awfully close together. Edited May 21, 2010 by cousin it 1 http://soliussymbiosus.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hmmm.... perhaps from the Echinodermata phylum.... maybe Cyclocystoid? 1 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 M. Youssef, That is a very interesting fossil. I can't help you with the ID, but can't wait for you to find out what it is. If you do find out from someone not here on the forum, please let us know the answer. Del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF7_Yuffie Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I'm probebly way wrong here but it's not a type of worm burrow fossil is it? It seems to have similarities to this, could be a different type of worm or similar burrow? Then again I'm a n00b so I would be miles off with my guess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Youssef Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 I ve got other opinion from out the forum and many go with cyclocystoid. it s very probably from the Ordovician of Zagora. Malek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Edonihce Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Yes, age and formation please. It doesn't look like any echinoderms I've ever seen, but I'm always open to finding new kinds. Is there any chance those are appendages of some sort....like millipede legs?....I know it's probably just an optical delusion on my part, but that's just the first thing that pops into my head. 1 . ____________________ scale in avatar is millimeters ____________________ Come visit Sandi, the 'Fossil Journey Cruiser' ____________________ WIPS (the Western Interior Paleontological Society - http://www.westernpaleo.org) ____________________ "Being genetically cursed with an almost inhuman sense of curiosity and wonder, I'm hard-wired to investigate even the most unlikely, uninteresting (to others anyway) and irrelevant details; often asking hypothetical questions from many angles in an attempt to understand something more thoroughly." -- Mr. Edonihce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
