Cianfaglione Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I found this fossil plate two days ago along a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. I'm not sure what these trace fossils might be, maybe bivalves?? Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The definition of some of the doughnut shapes makes me think these are molds of plant stems. Picked up the concept at the museum at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The closest match from this paper would be where Skolithos burrows intersect with the bedding planes. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10420949109386354 Life's Good!
