Both of these were collected in Grayson marl, is the small one a calamite? Hadn't occurred to me they could be found there. The larger one was 2 straight pieces side by side but the host rock is so fragile and part of top layer crumbled and broke them. Have not seen any burrows in Grayson so not sure if that's what they are.

I found this yesterday, it was very fragile and broken in many pieces when I handled it.

Found two of these fossils now. Both on beaches that are probably Devonian in age. One is from SW Wisconsin on Lake Michigan and the other is in the Lower peninsula of Michigan from the shores of Lake Huron. Organ pipe coral or some sort of burrow trace fossil? Thanks!

Found on my way down to my usual fossil hunting beach (Devonian) I’m pretty sure these rocks were brought in to prevent erosion though. Late pre-Cambrian - Devonian rock for sure

I found these Ordovician fossils in the Nicolet River formation, could it be cephalopod related?
-
Can anyone tell me if these are actual fossils or just geological formations, although they look like fossilize plants to me, it would be very surprising to find fossilized plants from the late Ordovician period. both rocks were found in the Nicolet River Formation on the banks of the Richelieu river

Very large & irregular flint nodule, sea sponge or burrow system?
Thames Adventurer posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi! I found this very large and irregularly shaped flint nodule on the Thames foreshore, London. To me, it kind of looks like the branching arms of a sea sponge, but I have heard that flint nodules also sometimes filled the shape of animal burrows and other things. It has a number of holes/handles in it. What do you think it is? -

Impromptu Construction Site Hunt. Grayson Marl and Pawpaw Formation
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil ID
Following a refreshing swim at the lake with a few friends over the weekend, I decided to take a spur-of-the-moment stop at a construction site I happened to be driving by. The sun was setting, cooling the area and finally making it hospitable despite the recent heat wave. I was not familiar with the exact geology of where I was, but with only an hour and a half of daylight left I decided to not waste too much time and immediately began scouring the dirt. I quickly noticed that the ground was composed of two distinct formations. The higher layer was a grey limestone while the layer- 7 replies

Burrow? Coral? Bryozoan?

From the album: Catskill Formation PA fossils
Lungfish (Holoptychius sp.?) burrows from Red Hill, Apr. 15 2022 -
I found it in an area where traces of worms and crustaceans abound, but there are no other remains (shells or corals). I asked on national forum (Spain) and they tell me that it is too big to be a polychaete. They suggested a burrow. Any other ideas or votes for burrow? Thanks, The coin has a diameter of 1.62cm

I don't even know which direction to go, geological or biological, and given the weird concretions and burrows in Eagle Ford don't know where this fits in so looking forward to answer

A few curious things from Cretaceous Eagle Ford/QAL mix I can't quite put my finger on, first one looks like burrow but up close it's very different from other burrows I've found. Next I'm wondering if it's coprolite, then possibly rugose? Last one i have no clue just didn't think it looked geological. Forgot the end shot of burrow so added it at end.

I found a few plates of sandstone that I really liked a few years back in Lockport, NY. I believe they are from the Silurian Grimsby formation. I don't remember nearly anything about trace fossils. My first guess from just googling before making this post was arthrophycus. Can anyone tell me what kind of trace fossil is present in these pieces? 1. 2. 3. 4.

This came from Eagle Ford Kef creek, I have collected odd burrows but this one appears to have things in it. Anyone recognize anything? Can there be concretions inside a burrow? Pictures show wet and dry.
-
this was found in deer lake pa on a large piece of shale. whatever these things are they are over 12 inches long, branching and 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter. occasionally they appear to have straight vertical lines on the surface. I could see this pattern in only one or two places and could not get a clear photo. Help would be appreciated.

Galveston Bay Texas, Beaumont Formation late Pleistocene I've got a couple of these I'd like opinions on. Here's the first...

Hello everyone, I have posted about this fossil before but I was not able to get it Identified. I have decided to create a separate topic for it because I am quite interested in if this is really what I initially thought it was. The fossil is from Eifel (Middle Devonian) and on one side there are a bunch of Crinoids columnals, but upon flipping it over I noticed this darkened branching structure on the rock, to me it looked very reminiscent of certain algae, although I have never seen anything like that from the Devonian so it's probably something else. So my question is:
-
Hello, my neighbour found this in her garden - is this some kind of anemone, if it is indeed a fossil? We live in West Hertfordshire, UK, on the Chiltern hills. Thanks

OK, looking for some help with this ID. I THINK this is a lungfish burrow, but I've never seen any before. I'm exploring a new property permission for a Permian Vert site. The reports also describe numerous lungfish burrows, some with the fish still inside, although most are just the trace fossils. This bit of shale has one every few inches and they are roughly 1" - 1.5" in diameter. So whats your opinion?
-
New to geology, so excuse my paltry terminology. Description: Tubes, many branching, between 1-3cm in diameter, in places as thick as a forest root system, material very sandstone-y, surrounding material clay. from my research these seem like burrow casts of... worms? tetrapods? do burrow casts form in such abundance?
-
I found these that resembles burrow or root cast in Ellsworth county, Kansas, USA from my previous trip. The formation these came from are most likely Kiowa formation/Kiowa Shale and the age is Albian. Here's the link to my previous trip. I'm just catching up with the prepping and sorting my fossils from my previous trips. I am wondering if it is some sort of ichnofossils. Is it burrow, root cast, or something else? Also, is it possible for it to be from geological origin rather than a true ichnofossil? This one is the largest I found. The center is poorly cemented sandstone and can

From the album: Mancos Shale - Grand Junction, CO
Marine burrow. Found this down in the Mancos shale, loose. Possibly from the overlying Mesaverde formation. I have seen many burrows in the Mesaverde sandstone.
