ichnologyfan Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I saw this potential fossil in the Jurassic age Navajo Sandstone in Zion National Park in Utah. I'm sorry that there is only one picture with no scale. I was hurrying down the precarious Angel's Landing trail with a long line of people behind me, so I only had time for a quick picture. The feature is probably about ~12 inches long, and I believe that it is situated on the plane of a cross-bed in a dune structure (example of the cross-bedded sandstone is also pictured). This feature might just be some sort of iron precipitation, but it looked so similar to an invertebrate trace fossil that I am not sure. Any thoughts on what it could be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 It looks quite track like until the flare (?) at the top. Then it starts to look burrow like or maybe even plant trace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
