Ordovician Stewartville member of the Galena Formation Southeast Minnesota, USA Yes, I know, there are no plants in the Ordovician! But doesn't this LOOK like a plant??? I was out hunting yesterday in the drizzle and found this rock. It had a pretty pattern, I didn't think much of it as it was probably just how the rock split and maybe minerals or dendrite or some such, but I liked the pattern so I brought it home. Upon closer examination it took to looking like a fan shaped plant, the side view seems to show a stem. All probably my imagination! LOL :-D But it does not hurt to ask if anyone has seen something like this before in the Ordo, right? Part of my love of fossil hunting is learning new things! :-D Overview Close up dry Close up dampened slightly for clarity "Stem" portion You guys always want to see the back of the rock... :-) Side of rock So, how crazy am I? LOL :-D
