sarahjane Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi, I kind of thought that this looked like a belemnite but since my area should be ordovician wouldn't that be the wrong time? (Also, please excuse the pet hairs, my dog decided to help ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 looks like a rock to me, belemnite would have a little more structure to it, this just looks like a rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bmorefossil Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Too, the first couple of pics has borings where something was trying to get at the goodness inside. hmm they could be boring holes, i thought they were cavities where crystals could be found.

Auspex Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The last pic seems to show some layering in the "rind"; could we have a sponge?

Ammonoid Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Your fossil looks alot like the deposits inside the siphuncle of an Endoceroid cephalopod. Very common in the Ordovician to have only the siphuncle of endocerids preserved. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 If I found that in my area, with Tertiary sediments, I would think it was a coprolite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
