minnbuckeye Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 This was discovered while hunting in the Burlington Limestone in no other than Burlington, Ia. If anyone has hunted this formation, they would know 90% of the rock is made up of light colored crinoidal debris. Occasionally a brachiopod s encountered and they may be darker than the crinoids, but pale against this. I know there is a fish layer in the Burlington and am hoping that this may be the ID.

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Can we have a scale, please.? And a close up of the 'pores' ? It looks like a bryozoan to me, but strange shape. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdp Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Definitely a chondrichthyan, might not be Deltodus though. My first impression was Chomatodus or Sandalodus. Regardless, holocephalan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
