indominus rex Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I was scrolling through our favourite auction site when I saw this for sale. The seller has no clue on what it is and has no info on where it is found, my friend says it looks like nothing but I want to know what it might be. All information would be helpful. Regards, Indominus rex Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Seems I have seen something like this recently. Even has the same type of hole in it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you have any clue as to what this migh be? Concretion? Urchin? Eggs? Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piece that caldigger posted are thunder eggs. They do look similar but are not the same. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Concretions. Still an attractive piece, though. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The posted picture has an extremely low quality, but I'm wondering if the "spheres" couldn't be cystoids, something similar to Echinosphaerites aurantium .

sharko69 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Concretion. I have one I kept somewhere and find them here in TX in the creeks. I will post a picture of the one I have if I can find it. It is almost identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Can we have better pictures of the specimen?
