Paleonet: unknown fossil

[Michael Streng]

Dear Walter,

some additional information on the age and the material of the fossil would be helpful, potentially also the type of sediment it has been found in. If the specimen is calcareous it could be a fragment of a holothurian sclerite as already Suggested by Michael K. There are some wheel-shaped sclerites that have a brim of “teeth” which remind of your specimen. See attached photo (if it comes through). I think even their size is comparable.

Cheers,
Michael
