You can put me down as dubious, at least without a closer look at some sort of texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntlyfossils Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi Rockwood it was from somone who is very experienced collecting in the area and he has seen similar ones before . Myself i was stumped didnt know what i was looking at never seen anything like it . If you have any other thoughts I would be interested . This is by far the strangest fossil i have seen.

It does look very interesting. Anything further is over my head though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
