LoneRanger Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I bought a number of invertebrate fossils from a Kentucky agate collector. These came without identification or info on specific site where found. I'm not familiar with Kentucky fossils but I believe this is a sponge (Porifera). Any confirming or alternative identification is appreciated. First and last photos are side views, second and third are top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This piece looks like one of the sedimentary geodes from the tri-state area. They are often deformed gross caricatures of the original object. I think this may have started out as a crinoid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I agree with Tony. Looks like a geode to me. They are quite common here in Kentucky and can be odd shapes. 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
