Tidgy's Dad Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I can't see too clearly, but could it be plant material? Some sort of cone perhaps? Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It's an interesting specimen. I think, it can be easily extracted from the matrix. Try to make this and post some clear images from different angles. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Vieira Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It looks like a fish mouth plate to me... It's the ideia I have by those pictures... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 +1 for fish mouth plate. Hopefully extracting it will reveal more evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeschWhat Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The angles are good on the new photos, but they are too small. Any chance you could take similar photos at a higher resolution?

Mike from North Queensland Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 What I do not know is if the matrix is from a marine or land environment as I am not familiar with the area. The surrounding material looks as if it a fine sediment amidst some small stones with no intermediate sized material suggesting possible gastroliths. I am thinking to specimen is some type of coral as a guess. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overwhelming majority of my ammonites are Jurassic. Therefore I'm not all that familiar with the cretaceous ones. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

abyssunder Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 "Zakrzówek Lake is located in the southern part of Kraków (50o 02’ 10”N, 19o 54’ 40”E, 213 m a.s.l), in the area of a small horst structure known as the “Skałki Twardowskiego”. The structure is comprised of Upper Jurassic limestone, which had been mined until 1991 for the needs of the soda works as well as marls for cement production. The deepest exploitation level reached a depth of about 60 m below the surface, which is about 30 m below the water level of the Vistula River flowing 600 m west from the quarry. The Vistula River was the main source of water in Zakrzówek [3]. The process of filling in the former quarry ended in 1997. Now, the lake area is 21 ha (Fig.1) with a maximum depth of 32 m. Due to the quarrying method, the borders of the quarry are almost vertical and rise up to 20 m above the water level. The lake has been artificially stocked with fish, which have not yet been studied." - J. Galas. 2003. Limnological Study on a Lake Formed in a Limestone Quarry (Kraków, Poland). I. Water Chemistry.

abyssunder Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 In the O.P. was written " Location: Skałki Twardowskiego, Kraków , Southern Poland ", not around. How do you know that the geological age of the sediments where the specimen was found is Turonian/Creataceous? Have you a vertical section of the formation revealing the stratigraphy of the location? 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
