Hi @sasha70

 

I've split your current post into a new topic so that it will be clearer to members what you are trying to identify.

 

When you have a new item to identify, it is most helpful to start a new thread rather than post your new item into an old thread.  That makes it easier for members to know what item you need help with.

 

Thank you for sharing your finds on the forum!

Looks like part of a Calamites stem cast, to me.

Possibly something akin to Rhabdocarpus sp.??

 

Example from the Kasimovian, Pennsylvanian of Kansas, USA:

Seed pod or fruiting body was my first thought, but it may be a Calamites nodal section.

  Looks kinda like a Thingamabopper, but me thinks the above posters have a better idea as to what this really is.

No, this would be a Thingamajigger. Thingamaboppers are more elliptically shaped in a dorsal view.

I had been leaning toward Doohickey myself, but the structure is a bit off.

 

I considered Doodad as well, but those are limited to the Mesozoic.

At first I considered it may be a Whatchamacallit, but then I remembered they disapeared in the Permian extinction.
