Need Help for ID

[XZY]

Hello.

I am looking for identification of this fossil. I found it many years ago, and sadly, do not have much information on it. It was found in Northeastern BC, in either Jurassic or Cretaceous rock. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The pictures are too small to see any detail. Can You post a closeup of the fossils?

[caldigger]

They look to me to be molds of the open ends of rugose corals.

I agree with Tony, the photos are too small. You should take them with a zoom, we could enlarge them to better see the details.

To me, as they are, they make me think about some sort or solitary coral imprints, but i'm not expert and wait for better pics.

And, please, to us that aren't from the United States, could you precise what is northeasten bc ?

I think they are rugose corals. I still have a piece very much like it on the kitchen table that I collected last weekend. (not married, obviously).

Oops! Age problem. We need to adjust the age or the type of coral.

I believe that would be northeastern British Columbia (Canada).

It looks coral-y to me as well

XZY If you are confident of the age the adjustment to scleractinian coral is quite simple. Otherwise it is a more complex matter of counting the septa.

Of course this is provided the whole coral idea doesn't get canned first

Thank you all for the input.

Attached are better (hopefully) pictures.

Yes, this was found in Northeastern British Columbia, Canada, south of Tumbler Ridge. Sorry for not being more specific. I forget how global this website is.

I am fairly confident of the age (Jurassic or Cretaceous), as broad as this may be. 

In addition to a coral, I had considered the possibility of it being plant material....some sort of seed? (Just guessing here...)

No matter, you're welcome.

To me it stills look like coral.

Those corals  look like they might have been preserved in life position.

In fact, those look like tobe positive imprints.
