BBrook Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Found this in a field stone in Whitney Point, NY. As I understand it, the area has Devonian material. Markings are circular with lines radially and generally smaller than a dime. Coral? Also appear to be some brachiopod fragments mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The circular ones are impressions of crinoid stem pieces. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Those are impressions of what are called crinoid columnals. Dave already mentioned that in another language.

Monica Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I agree with crinoid columnal impressions for most of the circular specimens, but I think I've also found a cute little gastropod - see the area circled in red below: Congrats - I love gastropod fossils!

minnbuckeye Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 @Monica, The circled object looks crinoidal to me when I enlarge the image. BBrook.those are some nice sized crinoids!! Maybe there will be some full stems in your area and not just cross sections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Definitely crinoid columnal disks. Nice hash plate. 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...

caldigger Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Ha! I just knew you were an alien!!! And by the way, you misspelled qaStaHvIS. It's spelled"quaStaHveeS"! Geez, these Washingtonites, will they ever learn?! For the record I said you speak it with a dialect, I didn't say you were from the southeast. That's what makes you so bizarre.

The spelling depends on the ruling family in your area, ya' brainbaked Californian.. And just because we have a town named Sequim (pronounced skwim), doesn't mean we can't spell, just that we are creative in our spelling.
