[QUOTE="Sarn, post: 34132, member: 1545"] The fish like one was actually completely embedded in a rock, the only thing you could see was a small blob shaped discoloration on the outside of a large rock. My hubby cracked it open to reveal the red and black crystals and the fishlike impression. We have both halves. But whatever it is has been split in half by us. :( Note the bit near the head that looks like a fin is actually a shell, I need to take a better picture. My husband thinks it may be a jellyfish because its completely crystallized, but I find it hard to believe that a jellyfish could ever become fossilized. It's body is just too squishy. The first one was just laying there. My daughter found it. :) All I found was shells and bivalves lol. but still thrilled at being able to hold something so ancient :) Would love to figure out what they are but wouldn't even know where to take them to get them checked out.
