Brian456 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi all. Found this in Hampshire, England when weeding a shingle path. I know nothing about fossils so thought I would turn to your good selves as I'm curious as to what it might be. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi Brian and welcome to the forum. It's an internal mould in flint of a regular echinoid (sea urchin), from the Upper Cretaceous Chalk. Always a satisfying find! 6 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 That's a pretty nifty little find! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashcraft Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I am going to guess some kind of funky British #2 pencil with an echinoid used for size comparison. Brent Ashcraft ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
