fossil

I found this fossil a while ago while out for a wander, I sent an image to a fossil site for identification.

I thought it was a tooth but they said that it was a sea creature, which was a filter feeder, similar to the way a barnacle feeds.

it forced it's way in to the sand and using a long tube it would put out it's feeders to catch small creatures.

I have found a picture that shows what it looked like at the time.

the age of the fossil is between 350-650 million years old depending on the age of the rock it is in.
