Rga10601 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hey everyone, I'm new to the world of fossil hunting, and I think I may have found something. Could someone help me ID this? I don't know if it even is a fossil. It looks like it could be a plant stem or something. It is long and tubular and branches off in places. I found it in a clay pit in the Deep River Basin of Chatham County, NC. The rocks here are said to be from the late Triassic. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 These look like they could be ichnofossils. Infilled burrows of some burrowing creature. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Scylla Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I agree, they look like burrow trace fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
