Drizzt0000 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Not sure what these are. Maybe some sort of Bryozoa stem? I have hunted for years here in kansas and never come across this it's little round black balls in rows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Don't seem like bryozoa to me, but the pictures are too fuzzy to see what it is, I'm afraid. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizzt0000 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Unfortunately I can't but figured a subscription would work too. They are little black balls all connected together in a fine and some are curving instead of being straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 What part of kansas was this found in? There is a huge difference in ages between western Kansas and eastern Kansas. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Imo it is a sipho of nautilus, in german called "Perlschnursipho" (just first guess due to blurry pics...) https://www.palaeo-online.de/de-trias-sw-stratigraphie-mo-details.html (->search for "Perlschnursipho" on the page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Girtyocoelia is also a possibility from the Pennsylvanian of Kansas. Please post a photo with sharp focus and better lighting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The pictures are dark and fuzzy, but form strongly suggests Girtyocoelia sponges which are locally common in Pennsylvanian rocks in Kansas. See post by @Missourian http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/25240-pennsylvanian-sponges-from-kansas-missouri/&page=2 3 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Missourian Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 These look very similar to the Girtyocoelia found in the Hickory Creek Shale (Plattsburg Formation, Pennsylvanian) in Wilson County, KS. 1 Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
