Guy Macdonald Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 What are we thinking, shell, partial trilobite fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Coral(?). Not a trilobite and the lines are to parallel for a clam or brachiopod. Maybe a gastropod(?). Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Kane Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Plications of a brachiopod would be my first guess. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the plications have to be divergent and not parallel for a brachiopod? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

True, unless it was fairly large and we are only seeing a small piece of it whereby the diverging lines would appear more parallel. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
