Hailey F Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I found this in the Wyoming range (western Wyoming) amongst ammonite fossils. Wondering what this could be? this rock was way too big to carry out unfortunately Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Could be wrong but looks a lot like a shipworm, which is actually the mollusk Teredo navalis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Sorry I don't think this is any kind of worm. It could be a trace fossil, but I question that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 do you remember the size of the - I think - burrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I was going by the shape which to me looks very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this one had more context backing the ID though. Without it the shape doesn't quite cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 could be something like Ophiomorpha, burrows of crustacea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 My vote is for sedimentary structure, or rip up clasts.
