Boris Albert Wagner Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I was back in the field this morning and was on the hunt for shale and other sedimentary rocks that may contain fossils. I found this one and cracked it open and found what looks to be a fossil. It is Kane of hard to see so I outlined the areas of interest in red. I found fossils on this field before but I just don't know what this is. Would love some help. B. A. Wagner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I think you have branch fossil there. It looks to me like it continues under the matrix a bit - and has little twigs/branches coming off of it. Neat find.

EMP Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I agree that's it's probably a branch segment with some twigs on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I second Tim on this one. Though I would never have thought of it, Tim's proposition does seem quite matching.
