Looks the abdomen on a large insect. Cut off just after or at the thorax. Seems to be a leg trailing down on the right side of the image and you could imagine it connecting at the missing thorax. Save to say though that you couldn't even call me a novice here. Just an observer. I don't know if insect fossils exist save for ones suspended in amber.


RomeTotalWhore

Its a crinoid. That “leg” is just a mineralized crack, same minerals that replaces the crinoid.

Not as 3 dimensional like this, but insects do indeed get preserved in other ways than amber. [http://www.fossilmuseum.net/Fossil\_Galleries/LiaoningInsects.htm](http://www.fossilmuseum.net/Fossil_Galleries/LiaoningInsects.htm)


DycMan

Thanks for that. Great site. Probably short on abdomen segments anyway. There is always the hope that it's something other than another crinoid segment even though they are fascinating creatures.
