Ludwigia Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Sorry, but this appears to me to be just a weathered stone of some sort. Don't see anything fossiliferous about it. It's certainly not a jellyfish at any rate. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I’m with Ludwigia here. I must say 10 out of 10 for doing some research on the forum first and finding a thread from 2014. 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) It looks like a silica-rich tumbled stone, to me. We were posting in the same time, so I'm referring to the first specimen.

ynot Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The mark on Your stone is an impact crater, where it made contact with another stone during tumbling. The rock is not the type of rock that would hold a jellyfish fossil. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

I know its not a Jellyfish but still it bugs me ever had a stone bug you? at least doing the research on what it may be is teaching me what its now...lol i will keep looking found this also.... https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrNBTDDV.dbjRMAuddXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB0N2Noc21lBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNwaXZz?p=Brooksella+fossil&fr2=piv-web&fr=mcafee http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/m-8661 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hndmarshall Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 found this similar shaped thing from 2008......just researching.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The general consensus is that its a weathered water worn rock. I completely agree with those that have shared their opinion on this topic. Some times nature deals us a fossil not card that looks like a fossil. It's kinda like seeing a cloud that looks like a rabbit. Its not really a rabbit, but it looks like one. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
