astron Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 And since we are talking about marine fossils, it's a chance to present 3 finds that were in pending. Here are the two of them. The first is a clypeaster sp. echinoid and the second a small mass mortality plate. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 The third marine fossil and last for today is a porites corals branch with some tiny scleractinian corals attached to it. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Ha! I'm glad you were able to find more fish material! I have a hunch that everything you find with that same orange color will be fish-related. The fish scales I find at one of my local sites are often light blue in color, while everything else is grey/black/brown. Nice Clypeaster and Porites/Corals!

astron Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hello all. Just a few branches and a rhizome for today. The first two branches here. The second one is the only I have found into this type of very hard matrix. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astron Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) This one (part and counterpart) I think could be a flower head of sometype... Any aspect on it would be appreciated.

astron Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) And the last for today is also puzzling... The aspects I can think on it is that it could be a small branch covered in insect galls... ... or a root or tuber. (thanks Chas) Edited September 1, 2011 by astron Astrinos P.

astron Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 And last for today is a pair of first time met items with a question mark if they are leaves. Especially the second one is something odd to me. Any aspect on these two specimens would be appreciated. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hello all. Not usual but just one thing for today in two posts. It's a big 46 x 27 cm slab fossiliferous on both sides. This is the one side and two close ups. A plantation hash plate. Some tiny seeds included among the plantation and a bigger one (4 cm long) fully carbonized. The other side of the slab on the next post. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) And this is the other side of the above slab and two close ups. It bears a big 20 x 5 cm branch section (part and counterpart) fully carbonized and very well preserved. I have no idea what these strange formations on it could be. One on them extends over the fossil area. Any aspect on these figures would be appropriately appreciated. Edited September 3, 2011 by astron Astrinos P.

astron Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Helo all. Only one thing today as well and this was already presented in the ''Fossil ID'' forum... It's about a nice 19 cm long calcite limb cast (thanks Bob!!!). Maybe a section of a shrub of some sort? Edited December 14, 2012 by astron Astrinos P.
