Denis Arcand Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Can anyone tell me if these are actual fossils or just geological formations, although they look like fossilize plants to me, it would be very surprising to find fossilized plants from the late Ordovician period. both rocks were found in the Nicolet River Formation on the banks of the Richelieu river Edited June 20, 2022 by Denis Arcand One fossil a day will keep you happy all day.

Thanks!, that makes lots of sense, which brings me to another question, the burrows appear to be much larger than any type of brachiopod or bivalve I've ever found to date, what kind of other life form could dig such burrow in the Ordovician era?

abyssunder Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Maybe something close to Trichophycus? 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Denis Arcand Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 I found this interesting link on trace fossils, and learn that trilobite also make burrows, so maybe that is what I found http://www.georgialifetraces.com/tag/trichophycus/ 1 One fossil a day will keep you happy all day.
