Grantfroehlke Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I found this fossil on a job site. I look regularly and usually only find crinnoids (geodized) and maybe a few native american artifacts. But for the most part just flint, geodes, and other random stones. But my son and i are both very excited about it. We have never seen or heard of a fosslized nut.

Fossildude19 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Definitely a brachiopod. I took the liberty of cropping, contrasting, and brightening the photos. PS.

Auspex Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thanks for posting this; it really does resemble a nut, desn't it!

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Much, much better than a nut, it's a brachiopod! Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. It's a bit worn, but I might take a tentative stab at Athyris sp. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantfroehlke Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thank yall... This is the first iv found that looks this way.
