Hey everyone! Amateur fossil hunter here! Can someone help me out with what this is? Found in Nanaimo in a shale deposit, not sure what the vertical lighter section is. Was surround by fossilized shells. Thanks for your help!

Hi Everyone, I'm Joseph and I am relatively new to the forum. From the east coast, raised in Ontario and now am in Nanaimo BC. I wish I took pictures of the fossils I collected in Ontario but I did not, so far on the island I found some fossilized leaves and a nice piece of quartz...I need more. Since I am a novice to the area, some good fossil sites that were recommended on the internet include, Ammonite falls, Putledge river and a couple others I cant remember off the top of my head. However the issue is I don't have a car so it is difficult to travel to these sites. Does anyone know of any good shale deposits near or within the city of Nanaimo or good fossil sites in general? I was also wondering if anyone wanted to make a group where several of us can travel to different sites and search for fossils on weekends? Cheers, Joseph
