The Amateur Paleontologist Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm here to talk about a fossil I found at Møns Klint. It is a distorted Echinocorys? echinoid replaced by flint. Nothing that interesting, you would say. However, on the underside of the fossil there appear to be crinoid cirri-like structures within the flint . Unfortunately, most of the underside fossil seems to be totally hiden by the flint. Do you think I should go and "bombard" the fossil with x rays at an X ray platform, so as to reveal more of the fossil? How can I "prepare" the echinoderm structures to make more of the fossil revealed and visible? Thanks for any help. Best, Christian Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...
