Raistlin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That is beautiful. As soon as I get my photo magnifyer, I will post a photo of what I think might be a startfish arm. It is too small for a normal camera to pick up detail on though. It is no where near as awesome as yours though. RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nandomas Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Very nice find. Congratulation! I found several very well preserved starfish parts in that mine, maybe belonging to a starfish bigger than yours, but they are just parts. Your find is awesome Erosion... will be my epitaph! http://www.paleonature.org/ https://fossilnews.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
