Kane Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just got back and am beat from a day at Arkona. This one is a bit strange. Just when I think I've seen every odd pattern, ichnofossil, mineralization, and concretion type in the Widder shale, I get a curveball. Or should I say a snowflake?. specs: Mid Devonian (Widder Fm). Arkona, Ontario. About an inch. I can't seem to find it, so this pic was taken in the field. I might have lost it. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I dont know my Devonian from a hole in the ground, but it does look interesting. Im gunna call it a 'thing-a-majiggy'. RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Looks like an algae to me, shame you can't find it. “...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...
FossilDAWG Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Fossil softball? Or maybe one of the Hederella species? Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 It seems to have a good deal of 3D relief which would me make me doubt small Devonian plant. Could it be a very regular chondrites trace fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I was going to suggest ichnofossil. The Hederella suggestion seems good as well. Hope you find it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Upon finding out what hederella is, I now agree with that, seeing as it seems to be attached to something as they usually are. “...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...
Kane Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Thanks, all! I hadn't considered hederella at all, but it very much seems to be the case. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hederella looks like a very good call. Nice one @FossilDAWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
