Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF

What is the scale, please?

The rocks from Iruya seem to be Early Palaeozoic; Upper Cambrian and Ordovician in age. 

Not sure what this can be.

Welcome to the Forum. :) 

 

+1 for Cone in Cone   structures - this is not a fossil but a geologic oddity.  :)

Neat find, all the same. 

Regards,

I agree with cone-in-cone, but it is a pretty remarkable specimen nonetheless.  It has an uncanny resemblance to an arachnid.  If I found that I would definitely keep it.

Yeah, weird cone in cone. Nature doth make beautiful stones:D
