Fossildude19 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Looks like some sort of oyster or bivalve to me. Wait for some more opinions, though. Someone more local might have some more specific ID for you. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

val horn Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Not an egg. No evidence of any kind of vertebrate fossil. There is the suggestion of a sea urchin ambulcaria in the third photo so I would like to see the top of the smooth portion to see if there are more ambulcaria like lines that would suggest a partial sea urchin fossil. 1
val horn Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Thank you I appreciate the extra pictures. So what I thought I saw seems to be an isolated pattern so it is not a sea urchin. So I come back to fossildudes seashell concept where the shiny material is bit of the original shell material. A fossil but maybe not complete enough for a good id 1
New Members ratato5kr Posted November 15 Author New Members Posted November 15 I am not sure if any of this helps. These are other specimens found on the same day and found within one square meter of one another. These are just a few of the many. On 11/13/2024 at 7:51 PM, ratato5kr said:
