abyssunder Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Welcome to the Forum! It reminds me of echinoderms, possibly echinoid, maybe close to Clypeaster. Wait for other opinions.

Wrangellian Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 That was my thinking too - a very weathered piece of Clypeaster or similar echinoid. Cenozoic in age (Miocene?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm not sure with echinoid, but for sure echinoderm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'll go for echinoid as well. Particularly the second photo leads me to this conclusion. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
