Crazyhen Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This fossil is from Quqing, Yunnan of China. Devonian formation. Any idea what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I can't help to identify it, but it's an odd coincidence that I spent several minutes yesterday looking for a similar feature that I found here in Maine (Devonian as well). I'm positive I washed it off and found a cleaver spot to let it dry safe from damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Interesting. Reminds me of trilobite somehow. RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This is fascinating! On the one hand they look like individual traces however some of the ridges are continuous across several sections. 2 hours ago, RJB said: Interesting.

mr.cheese Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I am wondering if it might be coral or maybe ferns? Does look like tilobites but there is no heads? Needs an expert me thinks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 One of them appears to be a cigarette. The others look like Rusophycus to me, though the arrangement is most unusual. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) It reminds me of an associated conulariid cluster. It probably isn't though. This one is lower Carboniferous, Calciferous Sandstone, Scotland. Edited October 13, 2020 by TqB 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahlung62 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 It reminds me of traces of trilobite resting burrows, although the traces are unusually sharp and distinguished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
