Flies and Fossils Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I peaked down while fishing in southeast Minnesota and this interesting rock or maybe fossil caught my eye. This is limestone bluff country. Please share your thoughts on whether or not it’s a fossil and if so, what type it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patelinho7 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Leaning towards geologic structure, photos at other angles would help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Perhaps a trace fossil or an imprint of something? It certainly does have an interesting structure. Even if it is of geological origin, it would still interest me to learn how it might have been formed if someone here in the forum has the necessary knowledge to explain this. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

supertramp Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) It reminds me of some (strange) concretion of the "fairy stone" type not a fossil or trace fossil in my opinion ciao https://www.greenme.it/ambiente/natura/fairy-stones-pietre-foto/ Edited May 15, 2023 by supertramp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 It looks more like feature that formed in sediment by shallow flowing water to me. The appearance being influenced by the way it was subsequently exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
