ynot Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 It may be to fragmented to be able to tell what it came from. I got no idea. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiphactinus Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If I were to guess I'd go with a fragment of a horn coral. It's a toughie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just doesn't give me the rugosa feel. How about a barnacle????

Peto Lithos Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have seen quartz form structures like this with feldspar crystals running parallel to them. Could that be something like this with the feldspar weathered away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm in the coral camp. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ58 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 It probably is coral but I wonder if it could possibly be some type of plant fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the second image under magnification. Especially the half on the right. I'm not seeing plant. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
