Tidgy's Dad Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 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. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

fossilized6s Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Looks like a cone-in-cone type of structure. 2 ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 My impression as well. Actual cone seems an outside though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Welcome to the Forum. +1 for Cone in Cone structures - this is not a fossil but a geologic oddity. Neat find, all the same.

FossilDAWG Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 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. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yeah, weird cone in cone.
