FossilDAWG Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Can you reload the photo? The one you have won't open. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 That's odd. These don't look like the plates of a crinoid because they seem to be grooved, but also joined. But I can't think of what else it might be. They don't look like jointed, separate plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Well, I'm going to say this is a trace fossil like a Rusophycus. I've never seen one like this, but the way it is bonded together and like a cast makes me think burrow. The grooves are pretty deep, though, and that is odd. https://www.google.com/search?q=fossil+feeding+trace&btnG=Search&hl=en&gbv=1&tbm=isch https://www.google.com/search?q=Rusophycus+trace+fossil&btnG=Search&hl=en&gbv=1&tbm=isch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 So some of you can see the photos? - I've just got boxes with question marks in them... Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 When I click on the photo, I get the message "404 not Found. The file you were looking for could not be found." But, if I don't click on it, then I can see it. I'd copy and repost them, but I'm on a low bandwidth connection that only works if I block scripts, so no uploading images for me.

tmaier Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Now the photos are totally gone, with just broken links in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Photos fine for me. It is certainly crinoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmaier Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Looks good now, even the zoomed images are working now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 It's a flexible crinoid (as opposed to a camerate or inundate). The genus would be Taxocrinus or something related to that. Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Fernaldys, Did you remove the photo? Now it's gone entirely. It's bad form to delete photos, for two reasons. First, you have only one opinion on the ID, and it's possible that others could come along and offer a different or more precise identification. Second, with the photo anyone will be able to read this thread and learn to recognize this type of crinoid, even years from now. With the photo removed no-one will have any idea what the specimen is like, and the forum will be stuck forever hosting a dead meaningless thread that no-one can get anything useful from.

JohnJ Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Fernaldys, Don's comments are highly instructive. Please do not remove a photo once it has been posted. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I have a copy of the photo, if anybody wants to put it back in this thread. I would need to email it to you, because the PM feature does not allow me to attach photos and I can't post photos through the thread (due to my low bandwidth connection). I can read PMs, so if you want a copy of this photo, PM me with your email address. It's an odd specimen, and lamost looks carved. Not saying it is carved, but it doesn't look like the plate structure found in crinoids, although the groos shape has a flexible crinoid calyx look to it.
