Joe Salande Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 While fossil hunting at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, I came across this interesting looking (possible) fossil. Two of the pictures are similar, and the last picture is a side view of the rock that it's on. Sorry, that seems to be about the most clarity and zoom that I can get. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Joe Thanks in advance Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 when looking at the NC geological map keep in mind that when it says "Ordovician" for instance it is referring to rocks of that age but not necessarily sedimentary rocks. The rocks in the foothills and appalachians proper in NC are metamorphic or igneous and don't contain fossils. Doesn't hurt to look though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
