Spoons Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hey everyone just wanted to check in with you all and see how you are doing. I also wanted to inquire about these Worm Borings/Concretions, and what our members consensus might be. Maybe our resident concretion collector @Ruger9a would be able to help me out. Anyway, here are the pictures: Here is a photo of the excavation site: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do we know of any explanation as to why they are so noodlelly? I only took a few sections, but these appear to continue a ways into the bank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hmmm. I put 'noodlelly concretions' into Google and came up with nothing. 'Noodly concretions' brought up : So my answer is - not a clue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some concretions form around organic items -- Think long thin leaf, twig, root, etc. Wouldn't hurt to split one open. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There seems to be a lot of them, all around the same shape. I split one open and this is what I was met with: Absolutley Nothing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming that it didn't split in a plane other than that in which the possible fossil lies, although yeah, it's more likely to split in the plane where something lies, so probably nothing.
