Fossildude19 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. Cropped and brightened. Unfortunately, I am not seeing any evidence of fossils here.

Peat Burns Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I see parallel "ridges". If somebody told me it was a rock from the Pennsylvanian Period, I'd guess Calamites. (But SW Ohio is mostly Ordovician as far as I know, which would rule out such plants). Can you take some more photos while shining a flash light *across* the surface (rather than straight down on the surface) so we can possibly better see what appears to be parallel ridges?

caldigger Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Could they also be glacial striations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peat Burns Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Seeing the new photos, this appears to be an artifact of erosion or cleavage, or some other geological process and, unfortunately, not a fossil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedding within the sandstone. The new photos, as you said, make that clear now. 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
