JJVG Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I found this walking by my home in Vermilion County, Illinois along a creek bed with other rocks. This stood out to me and the little details on it look very odd. I have tried to theorize what it is but can’t. But they look like little bones possibly? Suggestions?

Fossildude19 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 More likely to be cross sections of shell bits. The matrix material looks like chert, to me.

minnbuckeye Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 The specimen in question has similar contours to this bryozoan I found in the Ordovician of Kentucky. I see your county is Pennsylvanian and Mississippian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
