Bonzo Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Found in a small stream in south east BC Canada. About 2km west of continental divide. It's very heavy for its size. The filaments have segments on many of them and have and organic appearance. Location would suggest Devonian or Permian I'm guessing. It's hard to know with fast flowing creek finds this high in the Rocky Mountains. Any info or ideas be appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Welcome to TFF! I think it is a mineral formation and not a fossil. Really looks like agate growth on a fibrous mineral. Wait to see what others think. Regards, Tony 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Bonzo Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thanks! Ya maybe just calcite from limestone and a strata of sandstone? I'm definitely no expert on this topic. This small creek does have a section with sandstone outcrop that seems out of place in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I don't think it's coral, but it could be something related to sponges or sponge borings. picture from here picture from here " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

A Septastrea or Lithostrotionella? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 That is a bivalve bored by clionaid sponge and it is encrusted by a coral.
