We are about to leave in a few minutes (from lake Wallenpaupack where we currently are) , but before we left we helped a neighbor (who was absent) reposition a dock for when they let out water from the dam. He had used rocks from the location of the house as a border for a walkway, and I found this obvious fossil. It's Devonian, Catskills formation shohola member. I found a few other worse ones. First fossils I know of from Lake Wallenpaupack. Any ideas on what type of plant?

Hello everyone, I'm at Lake Wallenpaupack in northeastern PA. I had never really thought to look for fossils here, but I took a look around and very soon at arriving here I found this in a large boulder. It is Pennsylvania bluestone (sandstone) of the shohola member of the Catskill formation, Devonian in age. I believe freshwater deposits? Fossils are scarce but not unknown in this rock, I was thinking a trace fossil of some sort. Could be created by human activity, not sure. If new pictures are needed, they may be provided.
