Thanks Bob,

It looks a bit familiar to me but insect like
sort of but not exactly like one of those bug like
things at the bottom of the ocean.

It looks like the inside skeleton of a big bug.

There are two curly horn like things at one end
which you see just the tip of in the rock.
I can imagine fangs or legs and stuff
when looking at the real thing.
Sort of like sometime in the Cambrian period
when Life was just getting started.
You see other stuff not related to the thing
except in time also in the mud like stone.
It appears simply as light streaks in the rock.

I guess most all fossils are found in sedimentary like rock.

It is my guess this might come from somewhere in the
mountains of Arizona, since it was found in my parents yard
as one of those rock hound thing decorations in their yard.
The previous owner was known to collect Trilobites
or something like them. This thing might be from the
same time period.

This thing makes me want to go into the hills
and crack open anything that looks like mudstone
river rock.

Best Regards,
geoff
