Friday Rock | #3
It is #Fridaysrock, created by @nat-expressions and I am pleased to show the fossil of some little creatures. Like the mineral kit from my previous post (you have a look if you have missed it here), I bought this fossil from Barcelona. It was a small shop in the L'illa shopping center. There were different stones and minerals, but this was something unusual and interesting to give as a present. My son apart from interested in collecting minerals, liked to read and learn about dinosaurs and even thinking to become paleontologist at that time.. So, it was a nice one to bring home from my trip.
I don't know about you, but I think the one on the left is a small fish.
No idea what the other two are. But do you see the spine of the bottom one?
The trouble is I did not understand what the shop assistant was explaining. I didn't speak Spanish or Catalan and she didn't speak any English. So, I end up with this fossil and she managed to convince me somehow to buy also a tooth of prehistoric animal. Which may not be so prehistoric at all.
Have a look.
These two pieces are pretty small. You can see their size from the image below.
If you can recognize what cretaues formed that fossil or whom the tooth belonged, I would be glad to read your comments.
Thank you for visiting, upvoting and resteeming.

Awesome fossils you have 💎 @nelinoeva!
They look like fish in a limestone matrix, no idea
the kind of fish other than squished lol
The tooth looks like a fossil sharks tooth, I have
one from years ago they told me was a few
million years old great white shark.
Do you have any quarries around your area?
There was some good ones in Germany I found
some shell fossils at long ago.
Thank you very much for the nice comment. 😀
I was never been into rock hunring but I guess there are quarries in my area, where can be found some shell fossils too.
Very cool you got something trapped in that stone, I am not sure what it is but I see what you mean.. Looks like something with a spine.
great rock!
Thank you. 😀
I wish I could find such rock myself instead of buying.it.
Fossils are so interesting to look at and make you realize that the rock was not always a rock! An interesting look back in time!
Indeed, there is so much hidden in the rocks and fossils can tell so much about the past.
Thank you for joining #fridaysrock. I've always been interested in fossils because they are a window into the past. This is a really nice piece.
Just imagine how many more are still waiting to be discovered and what we can learn about the past from them.
Absolutely!
