Unknown river rock possible plant fossils?

Recommended Posts

Hello, 

 

I have been trying to identify this fossil/rock for my daughter for some time now with no luck. She finds it fascinating and would like to be a Geologist when she grows up. We've been searching through books and online. Asking for your expert help on this one! Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Origin is unknown it's been a part of my collection for decades at this point. 

 

Thank you kindly,

LLVB

Welcome to the Forum. :)

 

To me, this looks like cross sections of Crinoid stems, or bivalve shells. 

Not plants. 

Let's see what locals have to say about this.

Hi there! 

Thank you so much for welcoming me into the group, and also the information my only guess so far was Fusulinids...I'm going to research Crinoid stems and bivalve shells today! Simply amazing!

Thank you!

Fusulinids was also my thought. Looks like that, I agree. http://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2-1-fusulinid/198-1999-1/854-fusulinid-figures
