caldigger Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Crinoid calyx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Welcome to TFF! Could be a calyx, but I would like to see better picture and more angles. Also a scale for size. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

fifbrindacier Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hi, take a photo in bright day light, it's the best to do and as is said above, with a scale and of all angles. Do you know the stratigraphic age of that area ? 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Al Dente Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It is a steinkern of a paleozoic echinoid. I can see a couple ambulacra running down the sides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 It certainly is an echinoid, an urchin to be more precise. I also see a couple of ambulacra.
