ynot Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The side picture looks like cave flowstone (calcite). This type of rock can resemble shell fragments when it decomposes. I see a geologic and no fossil on this piece. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

fossiling Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 At first glance, it looks a bit like a botherolepis. But after some research, it does look like Inoceramus. Keep looking! They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
