daves64 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I bought a "little" package of Lee Creek matrix from @PaleoRon recently. It came in yesterday & I started digging. Lots of teeth & vertebrae so far & I'm barely into it. I found this one thing I'm not sure what it is, but it looks cool. 11 mm in length x 6 mm wide & stuck to a rock. Pics are at 55x magnification showing top, both ends (sort of) & both sides (sort of). Wasn't easy to get some of the pics, but here they are. Not sure if its a coral or shell or just some ordinary oddity. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

sixgill pete Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Interesting. I have gone through hundreds of pounds of Lee Creek matrix over the years and I have not seen anything like it. It gives me a molluscan vibe, but then it doesn't. Wish I could be more helpful than that.

Fossildude19 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Looks like a very worn shell bit to me. Something similar to this, maybe? This is a Giant Cockle shell, from this website. The patterning on these looks a bit similar to the ones on your item. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
