TMJD Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 This seems to be a plant. Found in Potomac Highlands of West Virgina. Stone is sandstone. What is fossil? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Kane Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Picture seems very dark, but this seems geologic and not a fossil to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Kane Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 This picture is also a bit too dark to make out. You may wish to also provide a scale, such as a ruler, to indicate size for more successful identification. Link to post Share on other sites

abyssunder Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 They are trace fossils. This one looks like an arthrophycid, possibly Arthrophycus isp. Seilacher, A. 2007. Trace Fossil Analysis. Springer-Verlag Berlin Or, they might be asterosomids, like Asterosoma. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
