featherandbone Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I found this in orange county, Hudson valley NY. The specimen is approximately 6 inches in diameter. It has little tunnel like holes in it and this ridged fossil. Could this be a coprolite? Is the fossil a wing, or could it be plant material? Thank you for your help!

Mark Kmiecik Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) It's a fenestrate bryozoan. Google it. They are really cool-lookin fossils. Look where you found this one because where there's one, there's more. You should be able to find bigger and better. Edited February 28 by Mark Kmiecik 1 2 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featherandbone Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 That is seriously so exciting...I absolutely will. We're very close to the black dirt/drowned lands which are well known for fossils so to find even this was really exciting for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherandbone Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 I also found some pretty cool rocks, no fossils in these ones though but I think they're mica and calcite with some purple coloring in the one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The purple-ish bits look like Rosy Quartz. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
