PRK Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Last weekend I encouraged a split in an Oligocene rock I had stored up in the attic, to expose this beaut. It had been stored up there for 35 years and I had no idea it was inside that rock. I was/am very exited Edited February 15, 2014 by PRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 You store rocks in your attic? Hope you don't have termites! I'm looking forward to seeing this specimen prepped. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymig Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Oligocene! From where? The rock looks badland White River but the fossil inside looks like a pyritized, Devonian Bactrites. Hint me! Mikey Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yep Paul, get on that prep job asap! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I am seeing crinoid too, but you don't see that sort of thing from the Oligocene very often, can't wait to see it prepped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Heh,,,heh,,,, I know where Paul found this. I did hear that the river cleaned this area from a slide awhile back, but have never had the time to go check it out. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRK Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi mikey----really, what is bactrites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymig Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 bactrites were straight shelled cephalopods. I'm sure that's not one in your pic since you said it's Oligocene, Attic formation and bactrites are from the Devonian. It just looks like one.

Wrangellian Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Isocrinus oregonensis? I was thinking something along those lines too.. looks similar to the ones I find in my local Cretaceous - partly jumbled up and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
