Hi! I just moved to Ithaca New York, and while I was birding around Beebe lake, decided to make a little fossil stop on a rocky slope, I found this, which to me, looks bit like a soft tissue preservation, but any thoughts on it?

Last year while on a fishing trip in Ithaca, NY I found this as well as some brachiopods in a small outcrop of shale along a stream. I’m pretty sure it’s Devonian in age but I haven’t been able to identify the species.

I was checking out a local creekbed with my husband, and he spotted this interesting rock: I'm wondering if the voids in the rock were originally a calcified coral fossil that weathered away? The rock could be shale, or possibly dolomite. I'm not sure which although shale is far more common around here. Here's a few close-ups of the interior of the voids: This one shows a texture that may have been left by the original organism. Here's a couple where the void is still filled, and the structure of the original organism can be seen. This one has the interior organism in the process of weathering away. Several of the holes go all the way through, some also branch. Others go at least an inch into the rock. That's a bit harder to get a good photo of! Anyone recognize this? Thanks!
