Small Fossil In Creek Bed:

Recommended Posts

Looks to me like an Bi-valve depression in limestone southern Georgia. Size is no larger than 1.5cm. Picture taken with a stereo microscope at 15X. I haven`t tried to clean it up.

I'll second bivalve impression. I think the S. Georgia limestones are Eocene, maybe that'll narrow down the search.

Any crinoids known from the Eocene?

I'm pretty sure there are the remains of a crinoid stem/columnal in the void below the shell.

Maybe paleozoic in origin, though.
