Rockwood Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Crinoid. or cephalopod ? Seems like it must be one, but I'm not sure. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
minnbuckeye Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I agree with Rockwood's assessment, BUT it would be helpful to know its size and where you found this. Both requests can help substantiate our thoughts or make us re-think of other possible IDs. Mike 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Apparently, this was found in one of the New Jersey Brooks. (Big Brook, Ramanessin ). Sometimes, paleozoic fossils can be found in these normally Cretaceous aged sediments. Either glacial erratics, or flood born wash-ins. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Moses Oberlander Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 @Fossildude19 @minnbuckeye Sorry for not adding more information on this post. I thought it’s real simple ID. So this was actually found in shark river that’s late Eocene to middle Miocene. And I’m adding a size reference picture. Link to post Share on other sites

A reference for next time: universal scale items such as a ruler or scale cube are more helpful, as a coin is only relevant to those with the same currency. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
