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

I would say these are infilled burrows. I sometimes bumped into burrow layers in the Nicolet.

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?

Maybe something close to Trichophycus?
