Auspex Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I don't recognize anything "fossily" there. Might just be an interesting rock?

Auspex Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think the pointy "top" looking is a gastropod; can't tell about the others.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Well since we have had a fossilized human brain on the forum, I say it is a petrified smirk. You know... some kid gave his mom this smirk and she said if he did not remove it she would wipe it off his face... well it landed in some mud and got petrified. The small crystals inside are the teeth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think the bottom one is a brachiopod. Probably a strophomenid. Take a couple pics with different virws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 ... well it landed in some mud and got petrified. The small crystals inside are the teeth! Something from the Grinocene?
