Detailed pictures of fossil (Archaeocyathid???)
I am happy to provide to you these scanned 35 mm shots I took Last weekend. Unfortunately the mesuring tape that I thought would be usefull is more an annoyance in some of the shots. Take particular attention to the close-up of the projecting appendixes (4,14) they are shape like fan blades and go uner each other, there is no visible outer wall.Also, there is a part of the matrix rock that is gone (11,6,5)on one of the specimen and we can see that an inch below the pattern of "spikes" is still there. Picture 8 and 3 can suggest that there is multiple layers of appendixes with some degree of offset from the following set. On picture 2 there seem to be something projecting from the ends of the blade or spikes. Please e-mail your comments. Michel Dumont
