kgbudge Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 This is an enlargment of a photograph I took a while back, where only later did I spot the odd fossil. Apologies for the low quality. I'm curious about the star-shaped object with seven corners. This is from the Madera Group in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, which is a Pennsylvanian carbonate shelf formation with abundant crinoids, brachiopods, and bryozoans. I've heard of star-shaped crinoid stem segments with five points, but not seven before. Any ideas? My Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I think, the possibilities could be a crinoid columnal with spines or a bryozoan like Evactinopora. Please wait other opinions.
