Fossil found in Ozarks - segments of a cephalopod?


Agassiz

Recommended Posts

I found the following rock and several other highly worn pieces in a creek bed that look to contain fossils of sea worms, etc., Fossils were found southeast of Fayetteville, Arkansas (long 35.68815 x lat -93.74751). Geologic timing - Ordovician? Rock is quite dense, and what was originally shale, is now metamorphic. The "segments", or wider features, measure the same thickness between seams, so i'm guessing this to be from a once living organism. Would love any ideas on this one!

I don't think this is a fossil.  :unsure:

Could be a geologic or sedimentary structure, but I am not seeing typical cephalopod structure.
