Monica Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 HI all! I was just casually perusing my fossils, and I noticed that there are some black fragments on a rock that contains an orthoconic nautiloid that I found at Etobicoke Creek here in Mississauga, Ontario (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician). Are these black fragments fossil-related, or are they something else? Please see pictures below: Thanks for your input! Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 It looks like a conglomerate of a bunch of stuff in it. Cool orthocone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 My first thought is trilobite bits. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
