Auspex Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Echinoderm-like, yes? What size is it, and where was it found? A brighter, clearer picture would be useful, too.

fossilnoob Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) The size of it, is around the size of a nickel. I know I found it but I cant remember where, I was really young at the time. Working on a better pic by the way!

Mitchu Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Definitely echinoid but hard to get a species on the pic quality. Lets narrow it down......remember the state by chance? What part of the state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Wow, if it's Paleozoic. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockaholic Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thought I'd work on this photo a bit. Hopefully this will help with the ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
