Lucid_Bot Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) One of my local spots to fossil hunt has a lot of limestone (I think) with what looks like worms running through it. I see this stuff everywhere and have no idea what it is. The area is definitely Glenshaw Formation and has fossiliferous limestone and shale. Any help is appreciated.

Fossildude19 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Could be bioturbation, or sedimentary structures, like flute casts.

Not sure if they are comparable to any identified ichno-taxa. Trace fossils and Sedimentary structures can be tricky.
