I had recently made a visit to Besom Hill, Old Ham, Manchester, UK for the spectacular remains of carboniferous fossils such as calamities, gastrioceras, and many more. Although I found some strange impressions in the shales (Listeri Marine band) and wished to get some idea on what it might be. It appears as an impression on the dark shale, has a sort of 3D impression on bottom and top. The pattern is lines radiating in a parallel manner, with slight but observable curvature. Surface is not flat, rather slightly wavy. First impression was possibly burrows, but probably not. Would it be some sort of shell or plant impression instead? Another specimen follows along as a cylinder.
