evannorton Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Hi Folks- A couple of other fossils exposed themselves last night. One I believe is a problematica fossil described as a Y or "wye". The other is coprolite....which I normally wouldn't share - but this is a very well preserved piece of !*@*.

Missourian Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Nice. I've found plenty of "wye-nots". Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCFossils Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi Evan, I do not think the first specimen is a Wye. It appears to me to be a trail. It is also possible that it is a portion of an Etacystis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
