Rosemary Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I was wondering if this is a crinoid holdfast. Area is 2 cm x 2 cm Found in the Devonian of Indiana, Kosciusko County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 From the photos posted I don't see anything that suggests it's organic. A few photos of all the other sides wouldn't hurt. 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...

ynot Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Looks like crinoid bits, but not seeing a holdfast. 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...

It's not the typical preservation but they are shaped something like graptolites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
