Fossil Burrows?

Hopefully this is good enough picture quality. I found them in Turners Falls, Ma, where trace fossils are abundant. I think they may be burrows. ID

Not sure there is enough detail in your pics to make a determination one way or the other.

I've circled some interesting looking features, but, with so little detail, it's hard to say for sure.

They could just be sedimentary structures.

I am admittedly bad at seeing the ichnofossils, but the one in the largest circle Tim drew looks like a bird foot to my untrained eye. Can't wait for the members with some knowledge to chime in :popcorn:

Given the location I would be inclined to think they may be small reptilian tracks.

Or at least one on a surface with other traces.
