fosceal2 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 So some are round, some oval, some seem to have stem places and then there is this one- Very flat and this which could it possible be a root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm thinking that last one is a crinoid holdfast??? How big is the squashed one, and what is its age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm thinking that last one is a crinoid holdfast??? How big is the squashed one, and what is its age? I agree with Solius, and I'm curious of the squashed one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Very cool stems! Am I off base here in that the squished one looks like half of a whole one? I don't see a seam running down the back of it. I agree with Solius about the holdfast and I see a blastoid head in the second pic as well. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

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...
MikeD Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 ....... I see a blastoid head in the second pic as well. I was gonna say that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossil_femme Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 ...Am I off base here in that the squished one looks like half of a whole one? I don't see a seam running down the back of it. i agree shamalama, it appears to be a vertical cross-section. (okay, that sounds like an oxymoron, but i can't think of the word for what you get when you cut something vertically down the center...)
