Guy Macdonald Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 What are we thinking, shell, partial trilobite fossil? Link to post Share on other sites
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(?). Link to post Share on other sites
Kane Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Plications of a brachiopod would be my first guess. Link to post Share on other sites

True, unless it was fairly large and we are only seeing a small piece of it whereby the diverging lines would appear more parallel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
