RGellerVel Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hey all, Recently came across a few interesting looking rocks/possible fossils while on a hike in New Paltz. Can anyone help me identify? -RGellerVel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGellerVel Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Any clue about this one? -RGellerVel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 The second photo is suggestive but hard to make out. Can you take a photo with the light a bit from the side so it produces some shadowing that may make the features stand out better? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 What Fossildude19 has outlined are impressions of various flatly pressed fossils. Maybe you'll find some steinkerns if you break up some of this type of rock at this level. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Rhiguita Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I think i see some brachiopods in the rock, although the large one I am not sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
