Fossil ID, Kristianstad, Sweden

Recommended Posts

Hi, I posted a fossil ID question last week, and today I went back to the very same location and searched for a few hours.

I think I found some more fossils, but they look very different from what I am used to find, so I'm not sure even all of them are fossils?

 

Thank you for your time!

All the best/ Linus

For reference this is the previous fossil ID question with the very detailed sponge -> 

 

1. I'm pretty confident this is a fossil. I also found a belemnite at the same location that I added for reference. It looks round, I don't think it is broken more than the "top".

2. For the record, I didn't crack the stone, It was already cracked. Inside there is something that looks very much like a sponge or very large seed. But I'm puzzled by how the stone looks overall?

3. I'm not sure this is a fossil. But perhaps it is the base of a coral?

4. I'm not sure this is a fossil either... but there were a few samples that had this peculiar look.

5. There were also a few samples of these "sausage fingers", I placed them along with the belemnite for reference..

4 and 5 are probably burow casts, trace fossils.

2 could be a silicified sponge with a concretion around it.

Not sure on the others.

Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Oh, burow casts, that would explain the blunt organic shape. Cool. I didn't know that.

There were some very weird stones that couldn't possibly be fossils, but they had this organic shape. I couldn't figure it out. Thanks!
