RomanK Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have found some pieces of flint in Jurassic layer this summer which are very similar to the bone. Place - Eastern Ukraine. Could somebody help me to understand what is that? The pics attached. Thank you. RomanK Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1408 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I think these are just bits of flint as I have found very similar items, one of which turned out to be a trace fossil though - which was a shrimps tunnel. I have only really just started fossils though so I am probably wrong lol. Darren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 They look like chert nodules. Classic pseudofossils! I've always thought that items like that would make a great collection in their own right.

Darren. Thanks, Darren. I'm just an oceanographer by basic profession and try to specify whether my items interesting or not from paleontology side of view.
