Bob Clouser Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hi, I was driving along the NY State Thruway recently and stopped at several roadcuts in Devonian limestones. I picked up a big chunk of chert that had interesting fossils in it. I think they are crinoid column segments seen edge-on and end-on, but I'm not sure. They are all encased in chert and they are not CaCO3 (they don't fizz in HCl). Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks for any help, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Another vote for coral. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
