Found this in landscape rock at job I was working at yesterday. The river rock it was with was 2-3 inches in size. Would of liked to pick some more but probably would of got fired. Scooped this one up quick.   [URL=http://s802.photobucket.com/user/bhiatt/media/trilobite2_z ps30a23a62.jpg.html]  [/URL]   |

Not sure what it is, but don't think it's a trilobite. Possibly part of a crinoid stem ?

I think it's a mouse rib cage, but I'm not very smart.

I dont know what it is. I was just guessing. There are two of them there if you look close enough.

I post the pic at fossil forums. They said crinoid stem and also maybe spines from the calyx of a crinoid in there too.
I picked it up quick. I thought it looked pretty cool.
I was working with asphalt crew on a sealing job. The business had nice size 2-3 inch colorful river rock. I was scanning the landscape islands in the parking lot when I walked by them and I seen this one and put it in my pocket quick. There was some cool looking rock in there.
If the rain ever ends I have one more day working there. Hopefully see another fossil piece.

How wild looking! At first glance, it looked like a human spinebone... (from the inside)
