Hmnottage Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 My son found this fossil on the beach in Bundoran, Ireland over the summer. Can anybody help us identify it? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamL Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 It contains worn crinoids. 1 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Liam is correct. Kind of a neat piece to keep. We dont seem to see too many Irish fossils being posted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Probably Carboniferous crinoid fragments, nicely polished by Atlantic waves. Unfortunately any more specific identification is not possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont seem to see too many Irish fossils being posted. +1 for crinoid pieces. I agree. It’s neat to see fossils from other parts of the world. Especially parts we don’t get to see very often.

El_Hueso Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Very cool piece. It almost looks like a work of art and its a great find for that location. Definitely a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
