Ron E. Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 A dark spiny flipper-foot-fin looking thing and somethin' else that needs prep. Thanks! IM(very)HO, you got yerself a horn coral and some material from some sort of echinoid. The brains here will elaborate and/or set me straight.

Agree. Looks like part of a crinoid calyx. I want to know what that zig zag looking thingy (a highly scientific term ) is in the other rock. Also the little pice with what looks like several points above the left end of the zig zag thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1nickeless1 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 If'n that there be part of a crinoid calyx, pardon my obvious wealth of ignorance, is it a 'petal' of a rather large crinoid cuz it be spiny on top, bottom and sides 'cept fer one end?. And the horn corals that I've found so far are at the most 1" long and have a curved point, whereas this is blunt, got me part of a biggun? Yes, O observant ones, that is my first cracked and embedded in some really hard stuff Archimedes screw! (Thumbs tucked in armpits and elbows flapping wildly!) Thanks Ron E, MikeD and the brains to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nickeless1 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Miseed the Echinoid part to my reply Ron, didn't mean to exclude that possibility. Bring on the brains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 While all the "brains" are observing happy hour (told you they were smart), I will stall for time by agreeing with calyx, horn coral, and Archimedes. There is some likelihood that the crinoid ID can be narrowed down a bit.

tracer Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 oh, the "blunt" part of your horn coral is just where it turns under and goes into the matrix. the end is very likely in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thumbs tucked in armpits and elbows flapping wildly!) That's funny! Now I see it. Needed some brains myself. Got any to spare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
