GeschWhat Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I decided to take a break from coprolites and scan through some of Sacha's Merritt Island Matrix. One thing I see a lot are these vine-shaped traces on many of the shells in the matrix. Does anyone know the trace maker? Secondly, I came across this spiky thing. It looks modern. Is it an echinoid spine of some sort? Thanks for looking! Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The second one is a fish fin spine. No idea about the first. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

GeschWhat Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I posted this on an ichnology forum. They identified the traces as bryozoan borings. 3 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hi Lori, dont know about the borings...I think I have some of those somewhere now that you show em/remind me... Maybe shoot Roger Portell in Gainesville a couple photos and he probably can tell you which kind... Interesting finds.. Regards, Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
