Auspex Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 this mineral is iron? This may be limonite, which is an iron ore.

FossilDAWG Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Your "oyster" is a barnacle plate. The cavities (hollows) in the plate are characteristic of barnacles, and don't occur in oysters. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members cvi huang Posted September 11, 2012 Author New Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Thank you Don!

FossilDAWG Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) IDing barnacles to species, or even to genus, is very challenging. Mouth plates are usually required; side plates (such as your specimen) are rarely distinctive enough to ID. Older faunal lists lumped everything together in a few "wastebasket" genera,especially Balanus; these have now been extensively split up. For your specimen, a conservative ID as "Balanomorpha genus and species undetermined" is safest. I can't say if the circular marking on the snail is caused by a barnacle, as it is quite worn and there is no trace of barnacle shell left (if that is what made it). There is a small striated structure just visible on the side of the snail that might be a barnacle trace, but I'd need a better photo, straight on the structure, to be sure.

Josh Macefield:) Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that I can identify your turritella shells. I am not certain but at my best identification I would say the the left may be Brotia Melanioides and the right may be Turritella Sulcifera. Although, this is referring to a British fossil book so they may just be the closet match in Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ainokc Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi! Just recently joined the site and spent some more time reading old posts last night when i stumbled upon this one. Several years ago my dad made this discovery. We have no idea how it was formed but we sure have a lot of fun speculating! Sorry i dont have better pics. The item in mention is in the upper right corner. I love this site! Great members and fascinating photos/stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members cvi huang Posted September 16, 2012 Author New Members Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) what kind of rock? Edited September 16, 2012 by cvi huang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 what kind of rock? Good one, but I happen to know! From Mars, on the way to Endeavor Crator. They think that they are small (3cm) concretionary structures, formed in a sedimentary layer, and that they are distinctly different than the (now famous) "blueberries".
