ynot Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Do not see any fossil here. It looks like a vein of mineral deposits on the one side. Can it be cleaned off any?

Innocentx Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I agree about it being mineral deposit.

abyssunder Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It looks like a sponge, to me, maybe similar to the comparative picture below.

doushantuo Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Yes and no.Poriferan (sponge)identifications are something else indeed ,and the link is to what basically is a site for people non-professionally involved in paleontology. I am,of course,NOT saying that every determination there is or could be wrong,BTW. Just injecting a note of caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
