I found this on the shore of lake Michigan. I was wondering what this strange looking thing is. It is quite small.image.thumb.jpg.a4ae106ab98eb4ba72d1671de378144b.jpg

  • Maximus the rock hunter changed the title to Weird fossil found in Lake Michigan, can’t figure out what it is.

There's several fossils that I can see. They all appear to be fragments of brachiopods. Not enough of the whole present to identify all the way down to species.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Spiriferid brachiopod I think.

I agree the large piece is part of a spiriferid.
