Fossildude19 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 There is another possibility I hadn't initially considered, but could be possible. That would be Rostroconchs. Rostroconchia. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Hi Tim i was looking through images for rostroconchs and came across this, figure (i) looks very close, what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Yeah, that's why I suggested rostroconchs. (Btw, I don't know if you know, but the blue text are actually clickable links. ) Does look similar, but, being incomplete, it is very difficult to say for sure. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
