Dawson Sensenig Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I'm not too sure, but I feel like my best guess is it might be a type of blastoid? Maybe someone else has a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacha Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 It's an osteoderm from an armadillo. Probably recent given the marine nature of the fossils you're finding. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for help with ID. @rwise Nice find!!! Definitely an Echinoderm of some kind! Could be a type of Crinoid?
