Gbreeder Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Hello everyone! This is my first post on the entire forum, I read the rules, the ruler thing doesn't work out too well since these are in a burrow - which I don't really want destroyed. I can try getting clearer images if anyone wants. Tried my best with these. Some people on another site mentioned one of these could be a worm in the Serpulidae family, another was mentioned as possibly being a barnacle. I live in Dayton, PA - this rock was found in a hill which was dug into for a pool few years ago. Have been looking around the area for interesting rocks and happened upon this, put it into a pile with other interesting rocks. Finally got around to brushing dirt off them and noticed the small white bits on this one. Any help would be appreciated ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 the last photo certainly looks like a serpulid worm case. And it looks like you've got rock-boring clams in there as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 In first large image on left side it does look like barnacles to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbreeder Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Should I break larger rocks that I found near this piece? Also have some iron concretions from the same general area. Some of them have small white bits - haven't noticed any impressions. Should I attempt to break / chisel them? They are pretty hard being a form of iron and all. If I can find more fossils in the same spot, that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on another site mentioned worms could have made the burrow - though its looking more like rock-boring clams are the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. How bivalves happened to be boring rock in a burrow was my issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
