Rockwood Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The shape combined with the lack of a well defined mold make me think sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The tags are great for the search function, but in practice are often not noticed by those considering an ID. Size (or something internationally recognized for scale), location, and age should be repeated in the body of an ID inquiry. 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Repeating that amount of information isn’t time intensive and helps out those of us with bad eyes or scattered brains or both. I’ve skipped over the tags many times because they’re so unobtrusive. Maybe if they were bright neon colors, I would notice them more often.

Perhaps you’re on to something there. It certainly wreaks havoc on my scattered brain. Anyway, I agree with the sponge ID.

Jeffrey P Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Wow! There's a lot going on on that piece! I see a number of brachiopod imprints, some fenestellid bryozoan, and possibly some crinoid parts. The long cast on the right is very intriguing and I'm not sure what it is. If this was found in the Newburgh area it might be lower Devonian Schoharie Limestone (It looks like it to me.) which was carried from the Helderberg Plateau by a glacier. That formation is very rich in a wide variety of nautiloids, so I wouldn't rule out a nautiloid. Do you have more of that kind of rock? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it is, but I'm unsure of the sponge possibility.
