Fossil Knots

Hey Nando, you keep coming up with such interesting views to think about....I've got a couple examples that I know of. The first one easily gotten to right now is a little brittlestar from Germany all rolled up on itself. Label says Taeniaster beneckei (Sturtz), Lower Emsian, Grube Eschenbach, Bundenbach, Hunsruck, Germany.

I'll have to look for the other example....it's another relatively common German ichnofossil Lumbricaria intestinum from Solnhofen.

Gots to go paint the kitchen! No more fossil fun for this weekend!

Regards, Chris

Well this one is getting interesting, where is that Grypania specimen, Scott, in a museum or did you luck out on one somehow?

EDIT: Oops, looks like I overlooked your earlier answer to same question: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php/topic/17016-ediacaran-fossils/page__p__188006__hl__grypania__fromsearch__1#entry188006

And what is that thing Nando posted form the Solnhofen, looks like the precursor to a snake! ;)
