Raggedy Man Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I do not see anything here that looks like a fossil. Maybe others who hunt that area will chime in. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm actually thinking there are actual fossil fragments in there. I've outlined 2 of the crescent shapes that I'm thinking might be cross sections of some clams/bivalves and the small circle looks to contain some type of micro sized round shaped critter, maybe a gastropod/foram or some other invertebrate. Have you looked at this with a magnifying glass yet??...I think all of those small holes might be other traces of long gone casts/molds of things just too small to be seen without magnification. Thanks for showing us. Let us know about what you see under magnification if you have a way of looking closer. I'm also interested in what the local folks think as well.

Brittle Star Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi Looks like flint, features may be sponge related. Never ask a starfish for directions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
