Shamalama Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks for the pics, Nando. I've never seen a flat Belemnite before. What are their ages? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbrick Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Nando, why are they flat? Was the original structure flat? Or did they compress while fossilizing? They're definitely unique, wouldn't mind finding a few myself! Not that I see that happening though, since they're in Spain, and I'm not, LOL! Andy (redbrick) "All living things do one of two things.

Ludwigia Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It's hard to compress a belemnite rostrum. Even superman couldn't do that They're natural and amazing at that. Like I said, very unique.
