Help with "Formosa Reef" fragment


Monica

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

 

I was just looking through some of my fossils yesterday, and I noticed the following item on one of the rocks I collected from "Formosa Reef" in Ontario, Canada back in March.  These rocks are from the Amherstburg Formation and are Lower Devonian in age.  Could this be a trilo-bit?  Or is it something else?  I'll tag @piranha and @Kane to see if they have any ideas.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry, it’s a bit too fragmentary for me to make out. Perhaps prep it a bit more? I’m seeing a darker crust/skin to its left, suggesting this is a steinkern. Possibly brach valve or bivalve? It’s not jumping out and screaming trilobitic to me. :headscratch:

Thanks for the input, Kane!  If it doesn't look trilobitic to you, then I'm sure it isn't.  :)

 

I hope you're keeping safe out west!
