Tyrannotitan Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 There is some strange thing - it looks like a crinoid stem piece or an Orthoceras. Any ideas? The white "spot", i believe is is a fossil. Fossils fossils and again fossils _________________________________ Kyivsharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goroshkom Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Try sharper focusing and say, what size is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas-Tunnel Rat Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Its too out of focus and lack of information such as stratigraphic age is lacking therefore it is unknown. But what I can see looks like Crinoid if I am assuming this was collected in Ukraine part of Eurasia.

Tyrannotitan Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 You are right, it was found in Crimean penninsula, Ukraine.I really do not know exactly the age, because there, where I collected was mix up of sediments: there I found Ordovician, Carboniferous, Permian fossils and even two Miocene corals. Its size is 1.3 cm(not including matrix). Fossils fossils and again fossils _________________________________ Kyivsharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goroshkom Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 As far as I know, pre-Triassic deposits are very hard to find in Crimea... (by the way, have you seen tons of papers on http://www.jurassic.ru/crimea-topic.htm ?) So, crinoid seems to be more likely. Especially if so small.

Tyrannotitan Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 The problem is that I was not in Southern coast, but in Kerchen peninnsula. Theree as I know, are mostly Neogene deposits. But in the place called New World(in cape Capchik) I found not only this stem, but also a graptolith(see topic in Fossil ID - Leaf graptolith or insect), Miocene corals(and even perhaps piece of Scutosaurus skull, this is proved by the finding of late permian brachiopods in crimea, see the same site) and two pieces of petrified wood.
