I was wondering whether this belongs to a Eurypterid. The only recorded genus of Eurypterids at the locality is Truncatiramus. Formation: Bloomsburg-Williamsport Formation. Age: Silurian. Other recorded fossils: Tentaculites sp., Klodenella sp., and Stromatapora sp.

Here I drew lines highlighting the features in question. Its not exact as you can see.1BA8C703-1F5D-4634-9C88-C2469EFE2516.thumb.jpeg.736056ad0ebdf878aef476e3b6d1871a.jpeg

I can clearly see what your pointing out, that's not an issue, it's a holiday weekend and the people you need have probably been busy or gone out of town. I'm sure you'll get an answer tomorrow :)

I can also clearly see that lines. But would you like to play a little bit with oblique lightening from various directions? Maybe something more will become visible.

If this has anything at all to do with an Eurypterid, then it's only a slight indication of a remote possibility to my eyes. You'd need someone here to judge who is very familiar with the preservation of the fauna in this formation at this particular site.

How confident are you of the stratigraphy/Formation this was found in?

 

I see the lines, but little resemblance if any, to a eurypterid.

Looks more like plant material, to me.  :unsure:

 

Close ups of the visible features (blue circles)  may be required.

Too bad I left it at the collecting site. It was too big to carry out on top of all our other fossils. I’ll go grab it tomorrow.

That blue circle at 7 oclock could be Stromatapora in side view
