relaxed_surfer Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 This engraved fossil has the size a little bit bigger than my thumb,I wonder what it could be, it was in a place full of sea shell fossils. Kind regards, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Russell Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hello Robert, and welcome to the Fossil Forum! I'm sorry that I can not be of any help in IDing you fossil. It's certainly a magnificent looking specimen, and I've not seen one like it. There are many people here who will be able to help you out. And I'm sure it won't be long before you here from some of them. I look forward to hearing what some of experts here have to say about your fossil. Regards, Rob Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relaxed_surfer Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thank you! Great forum. I'm impressed. It's a really nice experience to walk on an ancient sea bed in the mountains. Pity it is too far from home to go more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
