fossilzz Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Here is an interesting potential fossil that I found in Oakville, Ontario. From fossils found in nearby rocks, I think this is from the Georgian bay formation which is ordovician in age. I don't know if this is a fossil, it could just be an interesting deposit of oxidized pyrite, but I would appreciate any help identifying this.

Elasmohunter Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Greetings! I don't think it's a body fossil. There's a slight possibility that it could be evidence of burrowing activity; that being said, however, I think it's most likely that it's a mineralogical phenomenon. You can find some examples of fossil burrows in the link below. https://timescavengers.blog/2018/11/11/urban-fossil-hunting/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilzz Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Ok, well thanks for looking at it. I did some research and it looks like the Georgian bay formation is host to an abundant array of trace fossils. None seem to match what I found however.

fossilzz Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 I was looking at some thelodont fossils and was reminded of this, having posted it a while back. Any chance this is a warped/twisted thelodont? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
