Icestar Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Final fossil! After this I'll be submitting fossils as I find them. Thank you to everyone who helped me learn more about these fossils! Because of the smooth texture on the surface, it seems like this chunk is part of a fossilized seabed, with various things stuck in it. I see a few basic shells and crinoids, but there's lots of smaller things I'm not sure on. (2/2) ^Anyone know what the above thing is in the middle? The white rectangle bit?^ ^Quite a bit going on in the one. To keep under the upload limit the pictures aren't the best quality, but I can upload a reply with a better quality picture.^ ^There seems to be a faint rust-colored outline in the middle of this picture. Any ideas?^ ^Underside with another rust-colored something. Is this even a fossil?^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copacetic Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm just a newbie, but I think the rectangle in the first picture is a crinoid stem and I see bits of fenestella bryozoans in pictures 2, 3, and 7. It looks kind of like lace. (Let's see if I'm right when the experts come!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I see :Cross section through crinoid stem, individual crinoid stem ossicles, brachiopods, a trace fossil(burrow trace), cross sections of shells (brachiopods, most likely), and bryozoans.
