t-tree Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 This was found in British coal measures of Derbyshire UK about 10 yrs ago, I did show it at the time it was found and have it labelled as a Myriapod ( possibly regurgitated ) . I thought I would put up again for other opinions. Thank-you for looking John 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Tidgy's Dad Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I agree, it's lovely. Definitely looks arthropody. Link to post Share on other sites
jdp Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Myriapod is correct. Not good enough with arthropods to get this down further, but this is a beautiful specimen. Congrats! Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I'm wondering if this isn't an example of molting? Link to post Share on other sites

t-tree Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 Thank-you all for looking and your comments. It doesn't jump out at you in the photos but the fossil surface is quiet knobbly/bumpy like some modern myriapods. Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites
