RomanK Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Some new finds from mine hills. 1. Hope this is Halonia tortuosa 2. Quite unusual "ball" (no idea) 3. I think this is a sea worm ??? 4. Mixed plants 5. And some lepidodendron specimens Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I see you've been busy! Wonderful pieces; I would especially like to find out what the "ball" is...

ebrocklds Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 the "ball" looks like it is some sort of mud wasp nest. but it is very unusual(at least in my area) to see it with decoration on it. very interesting. i also love the first specimen Brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Great specimens and pictures. Is the ball some kind of cone? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanK Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Difficult to say something particular about 'ball' on the specimen. I don't think it has a fossil origine. It's very seem to wasp 'construction'. The ball crashed on the way home in my bag Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 RomanK..........Very Nice specimens you have there.....That ball looks very strange and interesting, maybe its a small shrimp or similars home built in the margins of a river delta from fragments of material lying about and glued together with mud, and once the delta dried up, it became hard enough to fossilise the next time it was buried.....I love it!! Heres a small 'Syncarid Crustacean' possibly something like this built it 'Ripple marks'.... fossilised in the same principle as discussed What was inside the ball when it broke? Cheers Steve...
