mimzx Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi Could anyone shine some light on what these may be ? My dad found them in a river circa 1960 and has always thought they were worms. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Look like trace fossils such as worm burrows. A lot of rivers in the world - care to say which one? ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Welcome to TFF! I agree with trace fossil burrow casts. Location and size always help with an id. Please include them with Your pictures.

Rockwood Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's hard to tell in these photos, but I suspect there may me meniscate features that would tend to contradict the worm idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm leaning toward crinoidal limestone matrix, but the pictures are a bit blurry to make any confident ID.
