Cooll finds Gery. Is the wood mineralized or just carbonized? I like the clam that looks like it has been turned into a septarian nodule.

All the other fossils are great but this massive assemblage of Thalassinoides burrows is simply spectacular! :1-SlapHands_zpsbb015b76:

Just carbonized Dave,Thanks Scott,what i can say about the tracks is that it's not Thalassinoides but made during a very long time by the water(don't ask me how) :)

Sorry to disagree Gery, but the manner in which those structures are intersecting are textbook features for Thalassinoides: LINK

The water erosion has simply revealed their presence.

Yes: "bioturbation" is a general term for infaunal burrows. :)
