whowat13 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Found in raw Micro-matrix from the piles at the Aurora Fossil Museum in 2014. I can't seem to find anything like it for comparison and identification. The grid is quarter inch squares... Help would be greatly appreciated! -Bill Edited July 2, 2017 by whowat13 more information needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 The presence of black sand in the matrix makes me think this is from the Pungo River Formation. Unfortunately the barnacles of the Pungo River Formation have not been described. My understanding is barnacle identification can be difficult because they can be variable in form. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowat13 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Drats... That's probably the reason I can't find it, then. Thank you for your help! -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guguita2104 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Perhaps some kind of balanid (Balanidae family)? Nice fossil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
