ynot Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 ,No location. (added scale while I was typing.) I see a leaf in there. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

DPS Ammonite Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Nice fossil leaves. Notice the vein patterns. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

ynot Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 From a previous thread it was suggested that You are in cambrian rock and there were no deciduous plants back then. So either the age is wrong , someone brought them there from somewhere else or the "fossils" are in cement, but it would have to be a bad mix to get that many leafs. (Does not look like cement to Me.) Do You find much of this particular rock there? You need to look at a geologic map of Your area and let Us know what age Your hill is. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Kingofthekats Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Today I first discovered this kind of rock that why it so easy to spot it because none of the rocks look like this one. Okay I will try to find out the age of the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not fossils. The leaves are travertinized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This specimen must be recent as Northampton County is entirely Cambrian and Ordovician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Note: the almost perfect 90˚ angle in the rock. I'm sure this is concrete with leaf imprints. Perhaps in was put in place to hold a square pole on the forest floor? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'll go with concrete as well. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taogan Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Another vote for concrete. The bubbles and the 90 degree angle give it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
