Brevicollis Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Hello, I was looking throug my fossil storage, when I suddenly found this danish flint nodule with an interesting, spikey looking imprint that I have no idea of what it may be. I have some literature about fossils from the baltic coasts, but nothing shown in it seemed to match. I was wondering about the spikes, and the stem it has, so I thought brachiopod, but nothing matched. Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery. Age : maastrichtiam-danium formation : flint, danish flint Finding location : Langeland, Denmark Sice : about two cm long (hole counted in) Sorry, but Im not able to secure good pictures of the stem section, as its only visible when light directly shines into it. So when I hold my camera in front of it, it blockes off the light, and then its only black. 1 My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : Im just a guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Have you tried to take a picture of the stem area with a flash?

TqB Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) I'm pretty sure it's an external mould of an echinoid spine, probably Tylocidaris. Edited July 9 by TqB 1 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but my really crappy phone camera, and the curviture of the imprint, makes it impossible to take a good picture of it. Here is one, just for your understanding : Edited July 9 by Brevicollis My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : Im just a guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
