historianmichael Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) I found these tiny fossils amongst some micros collected at the C&D Canal (Late Cretaceous; Mount Laurel Formation). I am fairly certain that #2 is a sea star ossicle. I am less certain about #1 and #3. They remind me a little bit of crinoid pieces and I have found crinoid material at the site. Both have a subtle pore-like pattern on them that is reminiscent of the surface texture of some crinoid dorsal cups I collected in the Pennsylvanian of Texas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. #1- the big one in the middle is 5mm #2- 3mm #3- 3mm Edited September 19, 2022 by historianmichael Follow me on Instagram (@fossil_mike) to check out my personal collection of fossils collected and acquired over more than 15 years of fossil hunting!

Fossildude19 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The second and 3rd look like fish otoliths. Maybe barnacle bits for the first photo?

For those, photos closer and in daylight would be useful.
