Highlander Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) All sea sponges and seaweed are rooted away, or recristalized. There were even no prints of them in that sandstones. So they should have a hard coverage to became fossil. Edited October 30, 2014 by Highlander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Until you have something identifiable to compare it to I don't think you should dismiss anything. Nature plays wild cards all the time. Besides, algae can have hard parts. Edited October 30, 2014 by Rockwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have a shot in the dark - I was reminded of an ammonite aptychus at first when I saw this. They can have bumps, and be fragile, as this specimen appears to be. Just a wild guess. Thought I'd throw it out there, at least.

Highlander Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 All is possible. May be someday one decision victory. Anyway it is a luck to have brainteaser in collection. Our science started with huge numbers of brainteasers like it. I feel like an XIX century scientist, but i have an internet=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
