Could these be fossils of some sort (plants perhaps?)

Hi All and happy new year,

I'm very much a noob with a budding interest so please be gentle lol. I found these on a walk a little while ago very close to where I live in Lower Saxony, Germany. They were half sticking out of the side of a hill that has had a path cut into it. I wonder if you can tell me if they are fossils and if so what they might be.

 

Best Wishes

Matt

Welcome to TFF from Austria!

 

Difficult to say! I don´t think these are plant fossils, but I am also unable to even make a guess what these are...

To me, these look like ichnofossils - some sort of burrow trace fossil.

Thank you both for replying :)

Ichnofossils I'll go and look those up. Fascinating! I'll go back and see if I can find some better ones soon.
