Thanks! They’re my “thing”, the plates. I’ll watch a YouTube video of someone picking up handfuls of individual brachis or horned corals and I’m losing it over the stunning plates going unnoticed. LOL

Which is it, a fossil, meaning the remains were replaced with minerals and turned to rock, or a dried up slightly mummified modern day cat skull of some kind? If you e got a skull with skin and fur on it, it’s modern day. Why are you arguing with people trying to give you honest information?

Where are the better photos promised?

A big rock. Meteor test: do magnets stick?

LUCKY FIND!!

Eyes are gelatinous goo. They do not fossilize. You can not possibly have STC eyes – unless you just returned from a dig in Siberia, where ice aged animals are frozen.

Depends. If it’s limestone matrix: dremmel and/air abrasive. If it’s just powdery residue, toothbrush and vinegar.

Lovely!! Worth your efforts to clean up and prep!

Nice one!

A great place to start a fossil hunt is on Google. First read up on what you can find in the area you’re going. No such beast in VA/WVA sorry, rock

I don’t see the bryozoan. There were no reptiles here during the time sea fossils were being made, the very very odd croc or turtle.

I don’t see the crinoids, some nrachiopods, clams..no crinoids. Entire rock seems to be coral.
