Linus Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) 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..

ynot Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 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. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

Linus Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) 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!
