From the album: Misha's Middle Devonian Fossils
Plant fossil Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale Hamilton Group Eastern NY -
Hello! I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to give me an opinion about this… It struck me as looking like fossilised driftwood? I’ll be totally honest, just because it looked so much like a modern piece of driftwood at the ends. The striations seemed weird for rock normal banding, layering. Also, there seems to be faded bands running at right angles to the striations on a couple of faces - which again seemed a wood-like feature? I’m very happy to be wrong though! I was lucky, the tide was just going out when I spotted it still wet - it’s fairly unremarkable dry. It’s from the coast in Fife, Scotland. The rocks in this spot are sandstone / mudstone / siltstone, from fluvial, palustrine and shallow-marine environment, from the Carboniferous. Thanks so much for your time and thoughts!

Can anyone I.D? Covered in tiny crystals, looks like a thousand camera flashes going off when you walk by it. I found all these the other day. The big sparklee one is 40 lbs
