Any insight, @Mackenzie-Smith?
@samantha-ocon and @corina-fernandes I don’t know what it is but I do see some shelly parts on one of those columns. It could be some sort of burrowing bivalve?
@mackenzie-smith and @samantha-ocon existing massive bivalves incrusted in the limestones, this zone is cretaceous (albian) age. But this area has contact with miocenic calcareus deposit. I had considered the hypothesis must be the throns of one urchin, Pseudocidaris mammosa, but this urchin pertain to jurassic era…
I’m gonna tag in our resident echinoderm expert, @JBauer.
Hi, @corina-fernandes – this is certainly a weird fossil. I’m not sure it’s an urchin but it’s tricky because the preservation is so weird!!
@jbauer thank you for your comment. I haven’t see your post. Only appear in the site but don’t in the posts of APP.
