Chiquita Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I found this in southern Utah. What is it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I don't think it is a centipede, maybe a crinoid? Not sure, we may need better pictures from different angles for proper ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Southern Utah covers a lot of ground, can you be a little more specific? Could be a fish vertebral column. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

DPS Ammonite Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Is the rock limestone? Does it fizz in acid? If marine, it might be an echinoid spine. See photo from: https://www.mineralwellsfossilpark.com/what-can-i-find.html My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
