mring Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Curious if anyone has thoughts on these. We were out rock hounding for agates and such over in the valley and found these so took some pictures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Where were these found? Country, State/region, county?

mring Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Sorry Nova Scotia Annapolis Valley area. Figure they are aspects of Lepidodendron Edited September 2, 2022 by mring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Very interesting! My first thought for #1 and #3 are trace fossils (burrows and the like), and preserved ripples for #2. #4 is curious. Not a trace fossil. What is the scale?

mring Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 It was roughly 4" long and 1" wide. Did some reading up and seems to lend it self towards Lepidodendron cone or other related aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I can see the third and fourth as lepidodentron. I have a find that looks remarkably like your third that I assume is a small branch with leaf stem coming off. It is possible that the first two are plant fossils as well though if so the preservation is poor, they may also just be erosion or traces.
