What is this an Imprint of?

Recommended Posts

Found this out in the west desert of Utah, between the small towns of Eureka and Vernon, Utah.  I was out rockhounding for some Wonder Stone and found these fossils too. This is one of them.  Not sure what this is an imprint of. The exact location was 40*06'36.2"N  112*21'26.3"W  (The exact location my Jeep broke down that day!) 

 

Thanks!

I agree - ichnofossil, possibly something like Arthrophycus sp. , or Cruziana sp.

I'm curious...... what is " wonder stone " ?

 

Wonder stone is a fine grained rhyolite (volcanic rock) that will take a very good polish..

It has a wide range of colors and patterns that make for beautiful polished pieces.

I agree with trace fossil. Taenidium looks close (sorry, I don't know where this plate is from, it's been on my desktop for ages, might have found it on this forum...).

Cool fossil find!
