Odd Ordovician rock

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, 

I just got into the hobby of fossil hunting so please excuse me if this is something obvious. I found this in a rock and I can't find anything quite like it. I live on the Georgian Bay Formation so from my research it should be from the Ordovician. The second pic is from the other side of the same rock, don't know if they're related. The picture doesn't capture it well, but there's a bit of perfect curvature that to my untrained eye looks organic. Any help in identification is appreciated.

It's pretty fragmentary, so hard to get a definitive ID on it. It might possibly be an Isotelus maximus bit, possibly a genal spine.

We all have to start somewhere, and what is obvious to some is not obvious at all to others. So… no worries! :) 
 

I agree with Kane. The first picture gives me an Isotelus fragment vibe.
