Megalodoodle Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Here are some fossils from Lost River, WV. They were found near the Needmore formation roadside quarry. These fossils are not from the Needmore formation, instead they are from the Clinton Group. The Clinton Group, from what I found during my research, is composed of the Keefer and Rose Hill formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodoodle Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 First up are some brachiopod impressions. What kind of rock is the matrix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodoodle Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Squiggles. My best guess is they’re some sort of coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Squiggles might be burrows,? Measurements would be helpful, at the top of Fossil ID you will see @Coco has provided printable paper for scale.

The smallest measures 1 cm in length and 0.3 cm in width. The entire rock measures 20 cm x 17 cm x 5 cm (length x width x height). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The absence of zooecia might rule out branching bryozoan. Ichnofossil (such as worm burrows) seem to be the most plausible explanation. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
