Might help narrow down what you have: identifying unknown fossils by shape

 

looks like an ancient peanut butter cup.Just kidding.
It is definitely a weird find.

 

Thanks krispy!!!!!!:thumb:
I just hope my shape is there

 

true but I would not try to eat it

 

crunchy on the outside, crunchy on the inside!

definitely a jawbreaker not a peanut butter cup

 

I'm no expert but I think it's a chrinoid stem fossil. Not sure if I spelled that right but a Chrinoid was a plant that had a type of flowering head. Looks like you have a piece of the stem that went up to the head.

 

thanks Kevin
that is a very good place for me to start looking

 

It looks like a polyp of an old coral.What state do you live in?
Is the composition like a bone? Is it porous?

 

Hi I am a much better rock hound then numismatist so I would be glad to help. in my opinion from what i can see in the pictures it is a tube worm which is a Marine fossil but i could be many things If you let me know what state you found it in that would help me narrow it down . But it is a marine fossil of some kind.

 

Crinoid fossil was my first impression as well. It would have been a segment of a series forming an elongate stem.

 

I thought it matched up to a horn coral fossil.

 

Looks rather like a [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Cnidaria fossil. Actually I first thought it was a jellyfish fossil similar to this one I found, but crystals are more my geology area.

The denticles are a bit warped, I'd give it VG-F.

 

I think it's some type of dried fruit, old and preserved. It almost looks like a dried poppy head.

What you have Jello is an alien clock. I guess the left it here for us to discover it . Look at the hands of the clock in the first pic there are four that;s because They probably have two suns were they come from so they have to have four hands two double the time ratio.It looks like when they left it here it was 2547 oclock O by the looks of it there time not ours :goofer:
