ynot Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 What is the size? Where was it found? Can You post other sides? Would like to see the ends of the tubes straight on.

Herb Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 looks like crinoid pieces to me. I did not see that it was Eocene, so no crinoids. Maybe multiple worm tube colony? 1 "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

abyssunder Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I don't think it's related to crinoids considering the geological age (Eocene), but if it was found among bivalves, there's a good chance for tube worms or natural casts of worm-like borings, or even bivalve tubes. For the latter, here's an older topic with more explanations: 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

HansTheLoser Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I rather tend to coral. Ordinary people call this material "Calamophyllia". This coral type existed from the Triassic to the extant, so some area information would be needed to be more specific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
