Rockin' Ric Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Went fossil collecting today, it was too beautiful to be in front of a computer working! Found a number of Ichno Fossils consisting of Arborichnus Repetita (small horseshoe crab resting traces) and what could be trilobite tracks? Comments and identification are welcomed. Carboniferous Period/Pottsville Formation/Alabama USA Dual Arborichnus Repetita resting trace Overlap of Arborichnus Repetita resting trace Arborichnus Repetita resting trace to the left, not sure what the trace is to the right? Lower portion, appears to be a party of AR resting traces and the larger tracks could be that of trilobites? WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS! If history repeats itself, I'm SO getting a dinosaur. ~unknown www.rockinric81.wixsite.com/fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yep Ric, it was a nice day down here too! Fossil hunting for traces or critters or plants would have been much more appealing than pulling weeds. Thanks for the photos--great stuff!

Auspex Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 , as always with your ichnos! I don't know what made the larger tracks; could have been trilos, I suppose, but they are not the typical cruziana usually ascribed to them.

Thanks Chaz, I saw this pic on this site which looks like those larger tracks... they may have been guessing as well???? http://petrifiedwoodmuseum.org/tracefossils.htm It would be nice to know what made them, already have several others that look like the ones found today.

BobWill Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Pretty cool. Actually we should expect resting traces to look different from tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I would guess those are trilo tracks just based on what I've seen on ebay... You may know the ones I'm talking about - if not, do a search, they're on there regularly. Anyway, great stuff, you always have interesting things to show!
