Zebrafish Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'm new to the site, first post, great forum. My son and I found these in Devonian shale in Eastern PA. We also found Brachiopods. I thought maybe some type of coral? Scale is inches. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebrafish Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks for the info. Very informative, and here I thought it was a fossil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Rockwood is correct, That appears to be a nodule rather than fossil. That happens often in some Devonian rocks in PA. Occasionally they will have a fossil within but they would need to be solid for that to occur. 1 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
