Carboniferous Ichno Fossil Finds

Recommended Posts

Hello All! Here are some ichno fossils finds from several weeks ago after days of rain we got down here. I love hunting these things and find them fascinating since there is a mystery that surrounds the maker of the trace fossils. Finding the track maker has eluded me although one of these pics might shed some light on one possible track maker...I found an impression of what appears to be the underside of an arthropod? Either way, hopefully someone somewhere might take up the challenge of writing a paper about them in the near future.

How marvelous! 

The last ones look like arthropod tracks, but no idea about the first ones! 

Fascinating.

Ric,

I am always fascinated and amazed by your ichnos. Their makers can't evade you for ever!

Hello RR,

 

The Georgia Mineral Society (gamineral.org) has an attachment for the information that you seek.  At work now but if you cannot find it let me know and I'll turn it up and forward said document to you.

The one on the left side seems to have the ability to leap/ hop.

Very cool and interesting!

Looks like we've got a mystery on our hands. :popcorn:

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
