Hello, I was recently landscaping in Blacksburg Virginia and found what I believe to be a fossil but have been unable to identify it. I was wondering if anyone on here could help with the identification, or if it even is a fossil. It fell off of a large piece of what I believe to be shale and the color change caught my eye, all I've done is rinse it off with water. Thanks for the help!

Could be segment of root.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

My first thought was a graptolite, but then I'm not really a plant person nor am I that familiar with what is found around Blacksburg (other than Hokies).  Nice looking, whatever it is.
