BLT Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hello, I think this is a crinoid, but am hoping somebody will let me know which type? I found it in a creek in middle Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Looks like My brother when he had to much to drink on a big hair day. I do not see anything crinoid. You should post it in My favorite thread (see below). 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

MeargleSchmeargl Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Can you point out where the "crinoid" is? I'm not seeing it here. Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that made me laugh! So what is the squiggly, segmented whitish thing? Part of it appears to be embedded in the rock. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a crinoid should show segmentation. Some fossils are just to far gone to be sure if they are even a fossil. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

This was probably just deposited in a crack or void in the rock. 3 "Don't force it, just use a bigger hammer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeschWhat Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm with @ynot. Super cool pareidolia piece. I definitely see a guy smokin' a stogie in the first photo! 1 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
