⭐ Fossil show and tell

Is that like a star fish?

Noone seems to use the # numbers, which makes it difficult to know what is being discussed. I think you bhave been answered re the echiodermata - yes.

See my image.... there are heaps of fossil impressions on the cliff rocks of the Lake Maraboon. Many are impressions of soft jellyfish, some worm like creatures and others I can't work out.
However, I found these at the low water area in April 21 - by now they would be under a huge amount of water (thus protected).

More photos of fossilised soft body 'sea' creatures from the cliffs of Lake Maraboon.

Ostrea?

Ostrea?

River that makes up some of the NSW-Qld border. Sorry, my bad spelling. The Dumaresq River; a perennial stream of the Macintyre catchment within the Murray–Darling basin

I was asking if the species was Ostrea.

Ha. Sorry Goldirocks, I mistook it for slang for Australia I don't think so. I have found Ostrea-like but curvy bivalve fossils many years ago, but they were up north of Yuleba and Roma.

Seems like a strange shaped rock... Could it be fossilized plop of some sort??

Could be!

You can test it with the field geologist's favourite method - give it a lick!
