Miocene_Mason Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Weird. I would say either ichnofossil or strange concretion or some other geological formation. Is there a date, place, or formation for this fossil? 2 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Dumbbell-shaped burrows are referred to the ichnogenus: Bifungites Here is an excellent paper: Pickerill, R. K., & Forbes, W. B.
