wyldewastelander Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hi there. I found this on Blue Beach, Nova Scotia. It was loose on the edge of the cobble area near the water. Thanks for your help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Looks like a burrowing or resting trace fossil. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FossilDAWG Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 It looks a bit like a Rusophycus, a trilobite resting trace, but I'm not very confident that that is the correct ID. @mstimson29 is a researcher who is very familiar with ichnofossils (trace fossils) from Nova Scotia. @redleaf101 is also familiar with the area. I know you mentioned in your other thread that you collect by camera only. I assume the same here. People should know that it is illegal to collect fossils in Nova Scotia without a permit.

Don I agree, it looks like an unusual variant of Rusophycus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 trace fossil for sure, but that's as far as I will go. Very interesting! 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldewastelander Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Everything I saw is at the beach. I only used paper for smaller rocks after I rinsed them off & dried them. Thought they would be easier to see with a white background. I wasn't sure of the rules, so I left them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
