glacialerratic Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Here's a nodule that I think may contain a Holothurian. I do not have a powerful enough 'skope to look for the sclerites. What do y'all think? Fossil or mineralization/stain? Thanks! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinus Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I would say Holothurian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgrilusHunter Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi glacialerratic, Sure looks like one! A nice one too!

glacialerratic Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Evan, I cannot identify those hooks with the magnification I have, and though it is hard to see in the pics, some of the kaolin cracks out from the fossil into the matrix, which is why I was asking for a second opinion on this piece.
