While going through some old trip buckets, I found this at the bottom. I had initially picked it up because of its interesting appearance but forgot I had it. As far as ichnofossils go, it is a neat one with all its tangled parts, culminating in a kind of "mop head" appearance. I don't generally pick up ichnofossils, but this one was a notable exception. These are formed when organisms such as worms repeatedly burrow into sediment.

In the field, I always seem to pocket neat associations. Two from the last month have been a platyceras affixed to a horn coral, and a tiny brachiopod pressed against the end piece of an orthocone nautiloid. While going through my little pile of dusty high-spired gastropods from last weekend's Brechin trip, I rubbed at the larger one and found a cute, full prone Flexicalymene there. Not a spectacular (re)discovery, but pretty cool nonetheless.
