New Members Lewis098 Posted Saturday at 10:43 PM New Members Share Posted Saturday at 10:43 PM Hi all, I’m new here looking for help with this. Does anyone have any idea what fossil this could be?

Bullsnake Posted Saturday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:02 PM It looks like an enrolled trilobite to me. But I've never seen one with 'googly eyes like that. What is the size? @TqB 1 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted Saturday at 11:31 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:31 PM Imprint of an echinoid, or sea urchin. The round parts are spine attachment plates. 3 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Coco Posted Saturday at 11:38 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:38 PM Correct. If the picture was shot a quarter turn you would see it more easily.

TqB Posted Sunday at 07:06 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:06 AM It's one of several cidarid echinoids you get in the Chalk (Upper Cretaceous) - look up Temnocidaris for one example. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen anything like it. For those TFF members, who likely correctly believe that they know what this is, please provide a side by side comparison, so that I can "see" with my own eyes and judge..
