Hat Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I must confess, I have no clue on this one. Found this in a dry creek bed yesterday near Silver City, NM. There are small brachiopod remnants (pieces) in the same rock. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

Fossildude19 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I agree - Platycrinites columnals. Neat find. Regards, 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Arizona Chris Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The barley shapes are called "Syntharical Articulation Geometry". We find them all the time in the Redwall here in Arizona. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
abyssunder Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 This is a diatom with close patterns: It's amazing how some of the diatoms might resamble crinoids. link Take a look. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Arizona Chris Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 You would find it both in the Redwall and Escabrosa, correct. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
