Hi

What are these? And how did they get in the limestone I was dissolving in acid to release some kind of fossil that is in it?

The Limestone is from north central Indiana.

I appreciate anything at all that I can find out from you who know more on this topic than I.

Thanks

P.S. Here is also a video cut of some shots recorded through magnification. At the 1:25 mark you can see how soft the part is when I try flipping it over with a sewing needle and it tears through one side.
