Rockwood Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I was packing up to call it a day searching crushed rock out by the old rail siding when I noticed this. Could it be ? The finds there are Ordovician I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Looks a bit like a hypostome. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Al Dente Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It it a depression in the rock? The first photo looks like conchoidal fractures in the rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Why did you only bring that small piece and not the rest of it? My first impression was same as @Al Dente; one of those frustrating fracture patterns that almost look like something..but that one is more convincing than most...

Anything I can do, short of finding the rest ? To be honest it was positioned where the spreader would have hit it, but, the symmetry ? and doesn't it look like a hypostome ?

Rockwood Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I just checked it for additional skips that would fit a bouncing pattern. Found 'um. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
