bmoviefanatic Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I found this fossil on lunch break at work. The gravel I found it in is river gravel, possibly Ohio River gravel. I find some of the same things I find at home(Brassfield formation) just in a different matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 It is a mold of a Turritella type gastropod. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

abyssunder Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Considering that the Brassfield Formation of Kentucky is Early Silurian (Aeronian, Llandoverian) in age, I think that the specimen in question could reveal an echinoderm imprint, possibly of a crinoid stem. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Fossildude19 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 That was my first thought as well. Crinoid stem imprint.

caldigger Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I was thinking it looked like the side imprint of a rugose coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeargleSchmeargl Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'd say crinoid stem at first sight, but the pictures are a little blurry. Maybe take a few more less blurry pictures to get all of the detail. Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

Rockwood Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm with caldigger on this one. The segmentation isn't clean enough to be crinoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
