Fossil Help please?

Posted Jul 18, 2009, 08:08:56 pm

help

I took my two sons to the beach the other day and let them hit the the lake while I went to do some beach detecting. I stopped and talked with another detector freak like myself when my oldest son came running up. He had this in his hands. The guy I was talking with offered him $5.00 for it but, my boy said no way. It is completely solid (rock like) so, I do not think it to be any sort of shell. Any help or even suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've the same one... and others brachiopodes. This one is nice. Sometimes they're damaged. I've found my most beautiful one in a pound.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
