Jellyfish from Calgary?

[yifanTnT]

Is this a fossil, or not???

Formation and age?

[jpc]

whatever it is, that is pretty cool.   Jelly fish are pretty tough to ID since they are so blobbish.  This could also be a trace fossil... something left it mark at the bottom of the lake.

I'm in the ichnofossil/sedimentary structure camp on this one.

It looks to share some characters of the "fairy stone".

This is how (already somewhat rotten) jellyfish from Solnhofen look like. A certain similarity is present, nevertheless I believe that this is rather a worm trace

Just FYI, using all CAPS is considered “shouting” on the internet. We have edited your initial post.

Please read this, particularly point 3 in the first post. Plax already asked, but you haven't responded to him.

I thought so also Kane but apparently it's laziness so that one doesn't have to use the shift button on the keyboard to initiates sentences, begin proper nouns etc. I complained about someone yelling in caps at me on another site and was told this. Not saying this is always the case (no pun intended) of course.

Just curious where in Calgary you found this rock?
