kburke38 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Hi. I found a few of these trace fossils in a Permian marine environment deposit. Nearby (1km ) were few bivalves but nothing close to where I found these. They were reasonably common and I think they look to be worm traces. The 3 channels all lead back to the base and I think it’s where the animal drew sediment back to feed. Nearby ones have no uniformity of direction and they all face different was, so I don’t think water current etc was a causation of the 3 channels facing a certain direction. I first thought of Echiurans but they are not spoked and always seem to have 3 channels coming out of the base and fan out. Location if north Queensland in Australia. Any ideas would be gratefully welcomed! Edited August 19, 2012 by Auspex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
