Behold the glory of the Lepidocyclina!

I have had this rock for two years.

I picked it up while drilling in the Leesburg area. The depth of the rock was approximately 80 feet. The fossils in the rock have always been known to me as potato chips. As of today they have a real identification! . The fossil is a Lepidocyclina. It is from the Ocala Limestone from the Late Eocene.

So you mean that's NOT what happens to Pringles when they are fossilized?
