Auspex Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 There are some textures and patterns that are rather...un-bonelike.

LanceH Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I was thinking impression of an oyster (or a really thin shell of one) with bryozoa attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Eaton Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Or maybe just maybe a gill plate from a large fish? Edited October 2, 2009 by Tony Eaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Can you see any bone structure on the sides like marrow? the one side looks like a Oyster impression with the curved whorls. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordpiney Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 now that ive had a chance to look at it better under magnification, it doesnt have any structure that id associate with bone. im gonna have to go with a shell impression on this too. thanks everyone!

non-remanié Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The bryozoan impression makes it an interesting piece for NJ. I have only seen that once before, on an ammonite I found at Ramanessin as well. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non-remanié Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hey Phil, ive been good, didnt get enough collecting in this past summer, but i hope to get back into it. I heard you were at the DVPS meeting. I used to go to the meetings a lot but they are a bit of a drive for me so I usually only go if theres a speaker I really want to hear. We do get a lot of good speakers though! I'm going to try to go more often. hey steve, how are you? i was wondering where ya been? you know...it does look like an ammo imprint to me. it's whorled, and has impressions that look like a scaphites shell. especially on the side without the bryzoans. it's weird. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
