TqB Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Hi Matt, I think these look like pieces of hexactinellid sponges (glass sponges), similar to Hydnoceras.. Fine specimens if so. Edited 3 hours ago by TqB 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Check out Botting et al 2023 for something similar from the Carboniferous of Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Not questioning the ID, but it's amazing how similar it is to the weave in a blue tarp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
