Ramon Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I found this fossil in Mexico. Specifically in Cerro de las mitras, Garcia Nuevo leon, Mexico. Cerro de las mitras is a mountain which has sediments from the Cretaceous period. I have found many other fossils there. But this one is special because I'm not even sure if it's a fossil. I found it 4 years ago. The fossil is dark in coloration and has line running. Is like an oval it runs all over the rock.The back "Without fossils, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the earth" - Georges Cuvier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 hmm, not sure from the pictures. Based on you saying its probably Cretaceous in age and that crazy pattern I'm wondering if it might be a nicely rounded pebble of a section thru a rudist/bivalve? Might need some sharper pictures if possible. I've circled several areas that I am particularly curious about the structure...

ynot Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think You have a tumbled hash plate piece. It looks like some cross sections of shell fragments are visible. Tony PS Chris beat Me to the post. He could be correct with a rudist/bivalve. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Ramon Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Yeah, probably a pebble full of bivalves. 2 hours ago, Plantguy said: hmm, not sure from the pictures.
