I recently took a trip up to a few localities of the Murray Shale of Blount County, Tennessee, which contains fossils of the early Cambrian period. I looked around in some of the loose shale on the ground to see if I could find a small brachiopod or hyolith (both of which are common to this locality). This was my first time going out and looking to see if I could find a fossil on my own. I took a few pictures of what I thought could possibly be fossiliferous material of some sort, but ultimately could not determine if what I found was indeed fossiliferous. Most of what I saw appeared to be fossil trackways, but I could not definitively determine that. Any thoughts on thoughts on whether or not these are fossils of any sort would be greatly appreciated! If any extra information is needed about the localities themselves I would be willing to supply that. 20210113_133651-converted-compressed.pdf 20210113_135629-converted-compressed.pdf 20210113_135629-converted-compressed.pdf
