fossilfinder Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Can't tell if this is a clam or some other type creature ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Looks like nobody has taken a stab at this one yet. It is difficult for me to tell from the picture. Need to see more detail or to hold it in my hand. I do see some crinoid stem fragments and/or impressions of them. The matrix appears to be some sort of crystalline mineral and the actual fossils have dissolved leaving impressions. The big piece might be the internal mold of a clam. My 2 cents.

Ordovician Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I think its Crinoid.....dorsal cup. Low and left seem to be stem. Several tiny circles on the rocks to be stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The only for-sure fossils I can see are the crinoidal debris.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 ^^That is also what I see. The rock is chert. The large thing could be an internal mold of a bivalve, but hard to tell from the pic. Is there any muscle scars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
