Shamalama Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The round fossil in the white rock is a Crinoid stem section. Think of the stem as a stack of checkers and you found one of the individual checkers that left it's imprint in the rock. The gray rock has an impression of a Brachiopod shell, possibly Athyris and the last rock looks like a polished piece of shell bed with many small shells smushed together and then fossilized. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

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...

Rob Russell Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The round fossil in the white rock may be a type of roguse coral. Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
