Quality4go Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 I apologize for the odd title-- I meant to title this post "No Idea". The circular things seem to protrude outward a bit. <EDIT: Topic title fixed> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOROPUS Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The circular pattern reminds me some "silica"?? strange cristals from many of my cretaceous fossils from northern Spain, specially gastropods and shells... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The circular patterns are beekite rings; it is a type of preservation structure found with silca replacement. The fossil is probably a strophomenid brachiopod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
