kerrimarie805 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I now understand that these are likely molds, but of what I don't know. I am learning a great deal, though, and am so glad to have found this place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 They seem to be crinoid stem moulds. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Crinoid stem molds for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I agree with the ID.

kerrimarie805 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Are these next two just different ends of a crinoid? Both are less than 1.5"x1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the top one is a segment of stem exposed from the side. Ligaments held segments consisting of a varying number of columnals together long enough for them to preserve as a unit. What you see is the space in the center, the lumem, as a natural cast within the columnal (side on) moulds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of the musician, Bob Mould, when I use that spelling. I have to do what I can to keep my rocks in the right rolls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I also think of Bob when I see the British spelling. Funny you should mention him... I just saw him play a couple nights ago... opened up for the Foo Fighters, aka the Dave Grohl Experience right here in Casper, Wyoming . Bob still rocks it at his age (same as mine) and even played us my favorite Husker Du song. But hey, this is a forum about fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googling around, I see that some people say that all American meanings of mold/mould are u-less while some restrict "mould" to the non-fungus sort.

I finished my degree in Laramie, small world. I'm a tad jealous as I've never seen Bob Mould live and he's playing at a small venue here, or just did, and I'm missing him again!
