Hi, I found this fossil in Turkey a few days ago.

Hi, I found this fossil in Turkey a few days ago. Its arrangement is like a mechanical object of our time. What do you think might happen? 

[I_gotta_rock]

I know nothing about Turkey, but if it were from a US Deovinian or Silurian deposit, 'd say it was a section of a euripterid.

So, do you think it's more likely that it belongs to an animal?

It's possible. Euripterids were arthropods that shed their exoskeletons in segments in order to grow. The ones I've seen were very rectangular sections.

However oldest fossils found in turkey 14 million years old. you mentioned much older animals known, and he did not come across any information that found in turkey. If so, is this rare? Also thank you very much for your answer

[I_gotta_rock]

Euripterids were extinct long before then, so you just eliminated that possibility. If this is a fossil, I don't know what it would be from the Miocene.

Thank you again, I hope the topic gets a little clearer with new ideas about what happened....

These are a few other parts of the same area...

No clue, keep in mind though that Turkey has strict rules. They regard fossils abouth the same as archeological finds. I would not take anything home before doing some searching on the internet if they would approve. I bet they don’t....

 

[yusuf_ozdamar_arte]

Unfortunately, that's true, but that doesn't stop me from wondering. The more you wonder, the more information you bring...

Coal, charcoal, or carbonized wood.

I agree that this looks like a piece of carbonized wood or plant matter.

I'll go along with Rockwood and Fossildude. It fits the picture.

[Pemphix]

Part of a plant as been said already.

If from same horizon as the shown leaves, i'm pretty sure it's cenozoic of age....
