Rockwood Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The other thing is likely a poorly preserved brachiopod steinkern. Spirifers have roughly this interior shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think that the other thing could also be a brachial from one of the arms of the crinoid. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
