Dave Clarke Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 hello, this is my first post i know nothing about fossils. my 6 year old daughter found this today & was very exited to have made the discovery, i can not figure out what it might be, was thinking a type of sponge or eggs ?? it was very fragile, it also had lots of shells and other shelled sea creatures fossilised in the same rock. any help IDing it would be great. i am going to bring a piece of it to my daughters school but need to go back with some tools. thank you for sharing your knowledge !
