First of all thank you for accepting me as a member.
I have a fossil that I hope catches your attention.
I think they are Miocene worms. They belong to the Vallès-Penedés. What is strange is that they are in such good condition, I think they are unique.
I await your opinion.

Welcome to the Forum! :)
Can you take more photos from different angles, please?

Welcome to the forum. It would be very unusual for worms to have fossilized in this sort of 3D state. Your specimen is very interesting but it reminds me of something geological. Perhaps @ynot could chime in with what he things of these.

 

Cheers.

Possibly infilled worm burrows.

Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. :)

Hi all! I think it's unusual but not impossible.
What could it be in terms of geology?

Regards.

Of course, we tend to see in the specimen only what we have experience with from seeing other similar items. The closest I can come from my experience is the inside of hollowed-out fossilized coral. There is a river just north of Florida where fossilized corals are eroded out and then the internal void is then layered with minerals to form sort of a micro-equivalent of stalactites. Here is a topic from this forum which shows examples of this type of fossilized coral. In particular, I'm thinking of the third picture down from the top:

 

 

NOTE: I'm not suggesting that this is what your specimen is, only what I have reference to in my experience. ;)

 

Cheers.

Believe it or not it's actually the mucus on a worm that has a higher preservation potential.

These seem like trace fossils of some sort to me, but not necessarily of worm shaped creatures.

Can you go with higher resolution images, for example in the highlighted area, to see the surface texture of the broken "tubes"?

Also, it would be good to have a comparative scale beside the specimen, preferably in millimeters.

The truths that I live in a town of sea and mountain, with its historical part, where my house is. And the views are beautiful.

But the fossils are from Vallès-Penedés, near Barcelona.

Wouaw, I love houses with a patio like this one. If I had the money, I would buy it without hesitation !

Welcome to TFF!

I do not see a fossil in Your rock. 

Many minerals will cover whatever was in a void before those minerals were deposited.

The most common of these are calcite and agate. (does Your piece fizz when vinegar is applied?)

My best guess is it is a piece of agate that formed over some type of needle like mineral growth.

What a lovely and historic building. Interested in moving to Florida? I'd trade houses with you in a millisecond. ;)

Are you talking seriously?
We are planning to go live in Barcelona.
Do you have houses that you can sell to buy ours?
Regards.

Yesterday I uploaded some photo of possible fossil worms.
I'm going to upload some more.
I think one can be protovirgularia because I found an article that talks about these remains in Gelida (Barcelona) and they are from there.

The remains are in what appears to be a burrow about 9x7cm in size.

These fossils that look like worms could be the complete protovirgularia and those that I have uploaded before a trace?
