Fossil field hash


Boris Albert Wagner

Recommended Posts

I was back out in the field today to look for fossils. I finally went over to this stranger rock that for some reason I had put off looking at for almost a year! It turned out to be a nice chunk of fossils hash. I could see sea shells and their imprints along with coral and possibly bones (don't know if they are or not). This is only a small piece of the overall rock and I hope to get back to get the rest when the weather clears up.

 

all the best!

Lots of shell bits and bryozoans there. 

I don't see any bones in the mix, but lots of cross sections of shells. :unsure: 

Neat find.   :)

As Tim says, this is a nice hash of bryozoans and brachiopods, suggestive of possibly a marine environment. You might be able to expose a bit more by applying a brush and water to remove some of the dirt. Good find. :)
