JohnJ Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Welcome to The Forum. @3feathers Your posts have been combined; just add replies to this topic about these items. Are all these photos of the same piece? What size is it? 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 A lot of the photos are too blurry to make out any details, but I think I'm seeing some plant material in some of the sharper ones. Higher resolution photos are needed. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I also see a plant imprint on the 3rd photo. I am seeing some carbonized, unidentifiable plant material on some of the inner shots. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Shamalama Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 If this is from above the Ames limestone then those are likely plant remains. The Ames limestone preserves a brief Marine interval in the coal swamps around Pittsburgh and is part of a repeating sequence of "fining upwards" where you start with a coarse sandstone, get to shale, then limestone, then back to sandstone. It records the regular rise and fall of sea level and the settling of coastal sediments as river mouths moved around. 5 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
