Beth929 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Could this have been a calyx? Or just some slate shale? It pretty much crumbled when I tried to clean it. 1 inch round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Looks like remnants of shale to Me. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

ynot Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If the piece is 1 inch , then the central "plate"is 1/2 x 3/4 inch. That seems large (as crinoid calyx are made of multiple plates) and it is flat with no structural ornamentation. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Beth929 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks. I've come across this before in this bag of clay I brought home from Ohio. I'll be very light-handed if I find it again. This picture is of the whole chunk of matrix I found it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The pictures are good, but there are a lot of fragments hiding in the matrix. Try to expose more of them. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
