SilurianSalamander Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I found these burrows in Ordovician-Silurian rocks in Waukesha Wisconsin. I found hundreds of these just a few weeks ago in Green Bay WI (Ordovician) any way to identify what animal made these burrows? Thanks! ps: so sorry I forgot the scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales From the Shale Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say they're worm burrows. As those are by far the most common ichno burrow found within old Paleozoic rock. I'm guessing since it's near Waukesha it's Silurian? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I wouldn't rule it out, but honestly I'm not sure these are burrows. Ichno fossils are rarely associated with a specific animal. Many body shapes are capable of making what might appear to look like a worm hole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
