Sean976 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Spent some time earlier poking around at the Devonian aged Mahantango formation at Seven stars and came across some items, the first three pics are the same rock, the tube formation of the first three pics were about twice the size but crumbled away but was able to preserve this much, any help at ids would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Looks like you've found an impression from a crinoid stem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean976 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks for the quick reply! It is a nice spot though it was a bit hot today and there’s no shade there, been there twice before but was distracted by all the Brachiopods, Pelecypods, and Trilobite pieces previously. Do you had any idea what this might be? I am not sure if it uploaded with the previous post. Thanks again this is a great forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The Gastropod is a beauty! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean976 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks I was happy with both of them, the first one has some nice detail, and the second was a bit larger, not a bad day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
