fossil?
Submitted by dozer on Sat, 12/01/2012 - 16:00.

Gus, sorry this took so long in getting back. Went to take the picture alongside the creek bank and my daughter's phone battery went dead. I am showing a photo of what is probably fossiled dirt clods although they look like eggs. A sea creature, and a rock that appears to show a small spinal column. The other photo is of a slab of rock at least 6 inches thick with the surface showing different types of sea creatures, I also put  2 pieces of iron ore on top of it,

  Any info on any of these is appreciated. 

 

John

I'm sure Gus will reply in due course, but meanwhile if you look carefully you will see that this is packed with ammonites.   I am not enough of an expert to know which of the 15,000 odd species this one is.
