Incognito Rockhound Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Since I am brand new to Miocene fossils, I’m hoping the Fossil Forum community can help me identify the following fossils I found at Flag Ponds over Labor Day weekend. Group 1 - Cetacean or impressions left by invertebrates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yeah, pebble with shell impressions (probably from multiple species of shelled critter) and a barnacle fragment. “...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...
FossilsAnonymous Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Have you guys ever heard of fossilized whale snot? In Lewes a seller showed me something just like the impressions fossil but without the impressions and told me it was whale snot... I have never seen anything like that and she may have been misinformed. On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil whale vomit would be possible, but quite a novelty. One would want to independently verify the sellers ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocentx Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Besides the shell impressions, I think you also have internal molds of bivalves where arrows point. And also some lacy bryozoan fragments. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
