BLT Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I’m wondering if this is some type of fossilized plant fragment? If not, can anyone tell me what it might be? (Tuscumbia Limestone/Mississippian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Looks like mineralized shell bits. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Peat Burns Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Although relatively small, these objects are reminiscent of Archimedes (bryozoan) in long section showing the whorls spiraling around the screw-like axis. This one looks like part of a horn coral (rugose coral) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockin' Ric Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Looks like a portion of Conularia? The ribbing is chevron shaped... 1 WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS!

What do you think of the upper ring of circles/ovoids---is that diagnostic of any of the critters proposed thus far? Do you suppose these two areas I've circled are of the same critter?
