Fin Lover Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Sorry, I'm not seeing a fossil here. 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

GeschWhat Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Zooming in I see a lot of layered shell material, so it definitely contains fossils. The two I have indicated could be brachiopods, but I'll leave that to experts like @Tidgy's Dad. 1 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeschWhat Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Looks like you have a Bryozoa hiding amongst the shells. So do you have a lot of this kind of material in your yard? 1 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
