pedrobento Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Yes, that was my first impression as well. Unless they are some concretions. - food for thought. Pedro Bento, M.Sci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Coprolite was my first impression, but then I noticed the two side-by-side protrusions; this would be a highly unusual feature for a coprolite, yes?

trilobiteruss Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) They almost look like a combined trace fossil called Conostichus that is from sea anemone common in some carboniferous units in midwest. Let me see if I can find a good photo.... russ Ok here are a few: Edited September 24, 2012 by trilobiteruss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I was thinking it was a bit 'tracey', but couldn't reconcile all the features; I think you're on the right track, Russ.

Kind of thought that and then I looked close and looked like one superimposed on other, I cannot remember if I have seen dual ones before but sure looks like a pair, very interesting!
