kerrimarie805 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I can't figure out what this might be, I hope you can see it well enough. It was very hard to get good pics of the crushed side. I think it could be a crab shell, it's crushed but firm tho it seems slightly pliable and even breakable. It's not. The "mouth" seems to be more of a dent than an opening since sealed over and the perfect little circle on the top reminds me of a horseshoe crab. Some of the pics are color saturated to enhance the detail as best I could. Please, help, so curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think it could be the remains of a badly preserved echinoid ? Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrimarie805 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Could this be, as well? This looks similar to some images I just pulled up online as I had to find out what an echinoid is, preserved well or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Not sure about your first item, but I think it is geological in nature. Your second item looks like a water worn river cobble.

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yes, the second one is a pebble, i think. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your second item looks like a water worn river cobble. Does geological in nature include plant material? It's definitely not hard like a "rock."

Al Dente Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think your first item is man made. It looks like some sort of plastic ball that has been crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
