A rock sample with imprints of an unknown ancient organism was transferred to the State Museum of the State Cultural Centre of Turkmenistan. They look like nets of hexagons with a diameter of 8-12 mm, resemble a honeycomb and occupy an area of 130-150 cm2.
The fossil was found by an environmental scientist Valery Ivanovich Kuznetsov in the Western Kopetdag Mountains, at the foot of the Syunt-Hasardag ridge, in the vicinity of the town of Magtymguly. Marine sedimentary deposits of the Upper Cretaceous period, which are 60–80 million years old, are common there. Such imprints have not previously been found on the territory of our country, so the specimen was of interest to the museum scientists.
