Kane Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Looks like a coral impression. But, of course, more information is required such as more precise location and size (using a ruler or measuring tape). This assists identification efforts enormously. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Looks like a small echinoid, there seem to be ambulacra. Echinoderm anyway. Do we know the age? 3 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I agree with echinoid.

abyssunder Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Echinoderm for sure. I could see it as a blastoid imprint. 3 " 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.

minnbuckeye Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 My eyes play tricks on me when I look at your specimen. It occationally looks like it protrudes from the surface of the rock, Then I blink and it looks like a depression. I am curious which is it?
