Is this a fossil?

[FurForksSake]

Found in a Welsh stream up a big hill. It’s very hard. Any experts give an opinion? Any non-experts want to hazard a guess?

I'm guessing we're waiting on a photo to be approved?

Sadly so. My rock may be risqué.

Well, this is intriguing. Can’t wait to see a picture.

Waiting patiently for the rock to appear. 👀

Sorry. It’s truly a very boring rock. It’s I think maybe A brown orange color and there is a hole in one side and you can see something yellow in the hole that looks like a tiny spine or maybe the edge or a shell, but it is very straight.

hopefully won’t be long!

There are facebook groups where you can ask about possible fossils, get your pic approved immediately...

Well at the moment it’s schrodingers fossil until the pictures approved here… I’ll hold out and then try Facebook. The excitement is building here, I’m sure.

Waiting for photo. Amateur collector here

Adding photos again as they aren’t showing for mumsnet to approve :)

Oooh dunno as not an expert but it look amazing and what a great find!

I would post this on Reddit you will get lots of traffic on this !

According to my fossil loving kid, you may have got a chunk of Anomite.

Although the shell ridges look too thin in my opinion.

I’ve taken some more photos if it helps!

Ooh how cool, I reckon an ammonite

Looks more like a part of a skeleton to me. Maybe take a trip to the local museum?

Looks like fossilised teeth of some sort!

If you’re anywhere near Wrexham, drop in and ask the experts at Stori Brymbo.

Looks like a side on section of ammonite.

Where (ish) was the stream? That might give you some pointers as to what fossils are known to be found there.

i have asked Reddit and they have said it’s part or a segment of a crinoid, which looking at pictures I think is right! And we have learnt that Dolgellau where we are was under the sea and this was from that period.

My paleontologist son said it’s probably a Crinoid.

Oops sorry I see you already have the answer.

No oops, how cool to have a palaeontologist son @Springbuck!!

good to have someone proper think that’s the answer. I’m not sure they are very rare but we are pretty excited by it!

I think 🤔 you have an answer 👍 what a nice find.
