Guest bmorefossil Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 well as always i found this in Maryland Calvert formation but i dont think its miocene (=. I know both Asupex and myself have found crinoid stems but never something like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Doesn't look like cephalopod; crustacean maybe...

Fat Boy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Dr. Godfrey pointed out the shrimp burrows (zone 3? pictured below) at Brownies one time. Is this where you found it? If so, perhaps the shrimp ID makes sense, and, you'd have one of the critters that made those burrows! One other thought on my mind as I look at the pic, the color of the fossil resembles the color of the matrix that those burrows are in. Whether it is or not, that's a cool find.

Guest bmorefossil Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 no it was found at another location, one where i have seen people find crionoid stems, i dont think its shrimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yeah, it does look like a crinoid stem. Do the other crinoid stems that you've found look kind of like that? Ever found a calyx there? Pretty cool! Kevin Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammonoid Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 no its not a crinoid stem lol i was just saying that i have seen them and have some myself from this spot. i still think its a broken ammonite. Possibly a piece of the phragmocone of a coiled nautiloid. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I still lean towards crustacean; the segments are quite regular in size.
