ByronNWT Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Found this on my phone from two years ago not sure what i am supposed to be looking at? Threw water on it for some reason. Whole rock is about a foot long. Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Looks a bit more like treebark, to me. Wait for some more opinions, though. I think ripple marks are usually more uniform and larger, than this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ByronNWT Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 From a Devonian formation though? Link to post Share on other sites
ByronNWT Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Are there and fleshy skinned fish? It weirdly looks like dinosaur skin. Link to post Share on other sites
Spoons Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I’m also not seeing ripple marks here. Not sure about tree bark, I’m not even sure what I’m looking at tbh. If it’s Devonian this rules out the possibility of anything Dino sadly. Link to post Share on other sites
ByronNWT Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yeah was joking about the dino. But it does look skin like. Link to post Share on other sites
Jasperfossils Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It isn't tree bark, The only trees in the Devonian wre Lycopods, this doesn't look like Lycopod bark. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

ByronNWT Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 My 4 year old thinks it is slime. Could it be an algae bed lol. I think we need a geologist. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
westcoast Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Not ripples, possibly microbially induced sedimentary structure as found in algal mats. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Johannes Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Yes, could be Kinneyia marks, but could be tectonically induced structures, too. You may post a close up of the structures? Link to post Share on other sites

Johannes Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 It's not so urgent, you can post the close ups tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Planko Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Yes, more pics from the side and underside. IMHO I am going to go with water marks. Link to post Share on other sites
