joceybird Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I found these hunting for arrowheads in northern Upshur County. They were on the surface downhill from a knoll after recent rainfall. It's a sandy "red dirt" area, with what I think are some scattered hematite and sandstone or siltstone rocks and pieces. Are they fossils? I'm new to fossil and rock hunting.

joceybird Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thank you for the speedy replies! I found images and description of "crinoid stems" that look VERY similar to my "things." I'm looking at your suggestions "burrows" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
