Lydss Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) I find a lot of these guys, they look almost like little barrels. They leave an imprint on their flat side that looks similar to an ammonite. I have no idea what they are, I was thinking some sort of isopod but I can't seem to find info about them anywhere. They vary widely in size. I can take better pictures if anyone needs them Edited May 31, 2023 by Lydss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 might be epizoic crinoids(echinoderms),but am not 100 % sure 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Welcome to the forum. I agree they're pieces of crinoid, mostly stem. The weathering shows up the toothed articulation between the columnals (individual discs) in interesting ways. . 4 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Doubt that they are epizoic, but I agree with crinoid stem pieces. 1 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 yep, crinoid stems Definition of "Epizoan" is a bit complicated, if they are not parasitic (as the crinoids are) it is more a Probiose or carpose) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
