Very new fossil hunter here. Found this in the Hudson’s Bay Lowlands. Northern Ontario. Embedded in rock. I have no idea what it is. A nut? From my limited knowledge, I believe most of the fossils here are Precambrian?

This is one of several features (will be 3 posts) in a limestone/dolostone matrix, from loose rock in a river, presumably carried south by the glaciers from the limestone bedrock further north. Pivabiska River 20 km north of Hearst, Northern Ontario, Canada. These features were INSIDE soft chalky dolostone that I removed with several vinegar baths and much rubbing; these features were not exposed to weathering. So my Q is, What caused the parallel grooves? What made the lattice-like inside? I've been told these are chert concretions, but could they be chert-ized fossils? Another post to come...

This is one of several features I uncovered in a limestone/dolostone loose rock in a river. Only the "gingko leaf" end of the worm-like feature was exposed: the "worm" was enclosed in soft chalky dolostone that I removed with vinegar baths and much rubbing - so the "worm" had not been subject to weathering. From the Pivabiska River, 20 km north of Hearst, Northern Ontario, Canada, presumably carried south by glaciers from limestone bedrock farther north. I've been told it is a chert concretion, but could it be a chert-ified fossil? Q: If it's not a fossil and just concretion, how did the parallel grooves form? (The other features have parallel grooves too).

This is the 3rd post of features from a limetone/dolostone rock, found loose in a river, presumably carried south from the limestone bedrock further north. If this is just chert concretion, not a fossil, then Q How did the parallel grooves form? The grooves in this feature had been emclosed in soft chalky dolostone material until I removed it with vinegar baths and much rubbing, so were not caused by weathering and are not glacial striae. And last, this is one of several bonelike features in this rock, that I understand are just chert, but the structure of the end looks bone-like to me. It was seeing these bone-like features sticking out of a normal limestone rock that caused me to soak the rock in several vinegar baths and keeping rubbing and brushing, which exposed all the small features with parallel grooves in this 3-post post.
