Thanks for the info John! A death plate? ha ha...sounds cool. I have buckets of large pieces of this kind of rock, most of it has petoskey stone embedded in it. You never know what cool creature is gonna pop up in there....

I did a google search and came up with Crinoidal Limestone. That really looks like what I find with the exception of the petoskey stone inclusions

So having coral and a sea lily which is the crinoid in the same sediment is not uncommon at all. It looks like you cut right down the stem of the crinoid vertically.

The same ranch has crinoidal limestone in black, pink, and golden brown. I've been there on several collecting trips....Mel

That one makes it real easy to understand why a newcomer might think that was a soft bodied worm. I fish with worms that look almost like that.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
