Sizev_McJol Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 While hiking in Arizona last year I saw dozen of tiny fossils very similar to what I find back home in Illinois, so I left most of them there (I was already carrying 50lbs on my back and didn’t want more weight). But I brought a few pieces back as a keepsake. Any special IDs for this guys due to their location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The first may be a fenestellate bryozoan (see here). The second might be a brachiopod impression, but it is a bit tough to determine. And the last may just be trace (ichnofossils) or purely inorganic geologic phenomena ... although a bit hard to make out what appears to be detail at the upper middle area. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Chris Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hey, that looks like the Kaibab formation! Yes, definitely Fenestellid Bryozoans for the top one, maybe part of a Pectin for the second (very common), and trace fossils for the third. You should have carried out so much more. ;0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arizona Chris Paleo Web Site: http://schursastrophotography.com/fossiladventures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
