Gen. et sp. indet. Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Mesozoic od Poland. Echinoid test? Eggshell? Reptile osteoderm? Coral, sponge, bryozoan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The answer to your quest might be in the details of those dimples in the rock. It might be an ancient type of tabulate coral called Syringopora. But then bryozoa might also be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. et sp. indet. Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 There were no Syringopora in the Mesozoic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 How do you know it's from Mesozoic ?

tmaier Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Wow, the uniform thickness of it is a clue, but I don't know what it is saying. I'm leaning more towards something exotic now, like armor. It canbe an echnoid test because the bumps are not symtrical and they can't be on both sides. I was hoping to see more details of a cross section of a coral in the side shot. The corals sometimes become embedded in a matrix and then it weathers away to have bumps, but that can't be right because this is way to uniform to be a random matrix. So I'm backl to the idea that the whole thing is indeed a fossil. Any other ideas out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
