New Members butchb Posted December 4, 2022 New Members Share Posted December 4, 2022 Yesterday, I went to Cedar Creek Lake to look for crinoids. As I walked to one of my favorite locations , I found the fossil pictured below. You help in identifying it is appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I believe this to be a fish spine. Not 100% sure though. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Gorgeously dense hash plates with what looks to be a lot of fenestrate bryozoans and crinoid columnals. Looking forward to learning what this interesting fragment turns out to be. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Beautiful fenestellid hash plate! I agree fish spine is a good possibility - not that I know much about them. It reminds me of a Falcatus cephalic spine (image from Wikimedia here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Falcatus_falcatus_01.JPG): Edited December 4, 2022 by TqB 1 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Were it not for ghostly fossils like the one above, who would have realized where this spine was located? Fascinating! Cheers. -Ken 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
