Any ideas? Thanks in advance. You guys are too good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm having trouble seeing it as a fossil...

jeepinthemud Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 would it be possible that we are looking into the "mouth" of the nautiloid? (or anything else that could have a space?) and that has just formed (rather than completely filling in?) ...or is that just not possible? haha.

Do you think we should split it on that layer and see what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I agree..... theres no obvious symmertry to it.... I see bilateralism, though, the preservation is poor. I think fossil for that reason. But, what it is??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
