Hello guys!

Initially I was thinking about roots of some plants, then I realized there are no plants during this time period.

It's Ordovician.  Found between Montreal and Laval, Lac du Preries.

Could this be Hallucigenia ?

I agree that this is likely a graptolite.

I think this is a smaller fragment than it may first appear. It looks like more of a net like structure. Perhaps a dendriod graptolite ?

I'm sticking with Graptolite. 

Not seeing any net-structure, though.

This is the net-like structure that I see:

interesting fossil, but keep in mind, that as there are no plants in the Ordovician, there are also no Hullicigenia.

The Bryozoa genus of Archimedes is not found in the fossil record until the Carboniferous. If this is from the Ordovician it is too old to be Archimedes, but it was actually my first thought when I saw it as well. Great minds think alike! ;)
