montse Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 First of all thank you for accepting me as a member. I have a fossil that I hope catches your attention. I think they are Miocene worms. They belong to the Vallès-Penedés. What is strange is that they are in such good condition, I think they are unique. I await your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Welcome to the forum. It would be very unusual for worms to have fossilized in this sort of 3D state. Your specimen is very interesting but it reminds me of something geological. Perhaps @ynot could chime in with what he things of these. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montse Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi all! I think it's unusual but not impossible. What could it be in terms of geology? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Of course, we tend to see in the specimen only what we have experience with from seeing other similar items. The closest I can come from my experience is the inside of hollowed-out fossilized coral. There is a river just north of Florida where fossilized corals are eroded out and then the internal void is then layered with minerals to form sort of a micro-equivalent of stalactites. Here is a topic from this forum which shows examples of this type of fossilized coral. In particular, I'm thinking of the third picture down from the top: NOTE: I'm not suggesting that this is what your specimen is, only what I have reference to in my experience. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not it's actually the mucus on a worm that has a higher preservation potential. These seem like trace fossils of some sort to me, but not necessarily of worm shaped creatures.

abyssunder Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Can you go with higher resolution images, for example in the highlighted area, to see the surface texture of the broken "tubes"? Also, it would be good to have a comparative scale beside the specimen, preferably in millimeters. 1 " 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.

ynot Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Welcome to TFF! I do not see a fossil in Your rock. Many minerals will cover whatever was in a void before those minerals were deposited. The most common of these are calcite and agate. (does Your piece fizz when vinegar is applied?) My best guess is it is a piece of agate that formed over some type of needle like mineral growth. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

montse Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yesterday I uploaded some photo of possible fossil worms. I'm going to upload some more. I think one can be protovirgularia because I found an article that talks about these remains in Gelida (Barcelona) and they are from there. The remains are in what appears to be a burrow about 9x7cm in size. Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montse Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 These fossils that look like worms could be the complete protovirgularia and those that I have uploaded before a trace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
