DoUbLeHeLiX 2003-09-28 20:07:16 ET if you look real close there are like five stars on it. Its kinda freaky. I believe they are tiny star fish fossils.

SaraSidel 2003-09-28 20:14:51 ET ooh i can kinda see the others..or maybe my brain is just making think i can..::shrugs::

DoUbLeHeLiX 2003-09-28 20:16:17 ET lol I found that on top of a hill in Zion... covered in star fish?

SaraSidel 2003-09-28 20:19:01 ET lots of places that are dry now used to be under sea water

DoUbLeHeLiX 2003-09-28 20:22:50 ET I know, so cool! Zion is nothing but huge chuncks of churned up rock. Its just like a f u to "theres no patterns in nature" standpoint. Its cool, I might put it in my aquarium?

BluPhreak 2003-09-28 20:22:56 ET ooo! i see a couple more little stars now.. hehe

DoUbLeHeLiX 2003-09-30 10:42:27 ET Crinoids - The most common fossils found in the chert gravels are of crinoids. Although they are called "sea lilies," the crinoids belong to the phyla Echinodermata, a primary group of animals including sea urchins and starfishes. A typical crinoid consists cup-like body, called a "calyx," from which tentacle-like arms radiated from the rim of the cup. The body, or calyx, of a typical crinoid is attached to the sea floor by a long, segmented stalk that ends in a holdfast that anchors it in the seafloor or to some object on it. Both the body and stalk are composed of interlocking plates. The circular to star-shaped plates that compose the segmented stalk are the most common fossil found in the chert gravels. its still cool though...lol
