72Malibu Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I cover 5 counties in SW Mo for my job, and always go fossil hunting. Always crinoinds and their bedmates, unilt this. Low water crossing washed out, so I went hunting. I found this unique fossilation of something. The rock I drug home is 2' x 18". No other fossils except those pictured, anywhere else on the rock. There is another grouping of this same still in the creek, except still attached to creek bottom, that I cannot remove. This was found in Bryant Creek, east of Ava, Missouri in Douglas County. My thinking is possibly some type of foliage? There are no other characteristics. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Very interesting, it doesn't look like foliage but may be geologic, such as loading or dewatering structures, or possibly burrow traces. There appears to be a repeated pattern in there. Can you take a photo of the side? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Location and formation info may be helpful to ID this. I have no idea what this is. I'm not even certain whether it's organic or geological. Let's wait for others to chime in. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hi, when you say same rock, to what rock do you refer to ? I agree it can be geological. This said, it, somehow brings me in mind that post : Sophie. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
