    Fossil Help please?

    I took my two sons to the beach the other day and let them hit the the lake while I went to do some beach detecting. I stopped and talked with another detector freak like myself when my oldest son came running up. He had this in his hands. The guy I was talking with offered him $5.00 for it but, my boy said no way. It is completely solid (rock like) so, I do not think it to be any sort of shell. Any help or even suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, Mike, definitely a fossil and a very nice one at that! Kudos to your son for the nice nab!

    Agreed: some sort of spirifer brachiopod.

    I've the same one... and others brachiopodes. This one is nice. Sometimes they're damaged. I've found my most beautiful one in a pound.

    And the mome raths outgrabe.
