C.P. Sheridan Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Very interesting ichnofossil! I once had something similar...a burrow of a marine segmented worm (polychaeta). Tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross-section seems to be round or a bit flattened Does the flattened part correspond to a bedding plain in the rock ? It would look like a straight line in the texture most likely.

rocket Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 might be, I will check next days and will have a very close look. I always thought it is round, but now I am a bit unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
