BuddingPaleo Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I was cleaning some pieces I dug out today, and this little guy popped out of a little shell packed with sediment. I thought it would be a neat tooth or a bit of bone, but, instead it was this. Any ideas? It's only about 2.5mm, so it's pretty darn tiny. Any help on this would be super cool because I don't know where to start. Bug? Shrimp? Looks awful shrimpy to me, but I know nothing there. Could be a bug. Do modern bugs get cemented into fossils often? Or is it a fossil? Thanks in advance! (Sw FL) Florida - Tamiami Formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like they belong there, that was why I had ruled out a bit of bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
