Carboniferous nodule

[t-tree]

This was found in British coal measures of Derbyshire UK about 10 yrs ago, I did show it at the time it was found and have it labelled as a Myriapod ( possibly regurgitated ) .

I thought I would put up again for other opinions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank-you for looking

Can't help with ID, but man, that is a beautiful fossil, John!

I agree, it's lovely. 

Definitely looks arthropody.

Myriapod is correct. Not good enough with arthropods to get this down further, but this is a beautiful specimen. Congrats!

I'm wondering if this isn't an example of molting?

I think that is a good suggestion.

Interesting idea. 

 

Just like to add that at it's widest point it measures 18mm across.

Thank-you all for looking and your comments. It doesn't jump out at you in the photos but the fossil surface is quiet knobbly/bumpy like some modern myriapods.

 

Cheers John
