Miocene_Mason Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Where about in Italy did the seller find this? Near a certain town? My first impression is some sort of geological structure rather than a fossil. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 In the second picture it looks like a trilobite cephalon. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 As WhodamanHD mentioned, the location this was found is very important with regard to fossil identification. Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Welcome to the Forum ! It looks like a speleothem , to me. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Ludwigia Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I don't think it's a fossil, but rather some kind of geological structure, perhaps as Abyssunder is suggesting, but I'm not so sure about that. It also looks sort of concretionary. It would have helped if you had asked the seller where it comes from and what it is, wouldn't it? Welcome to the Forum by the way.

Nematos Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks for all your answers I do not know were seller find it, but as you, I think that it is not a fossil but some geological conformation.
