New Members GooseScroll Posted November 14, 2020 New Members Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Good afternoon, I have submitted photos of this fossil to multiple local groups in hopes of a possible identification to no avail, therefore I have turned to this forum and home to figure this out! I hope it to be a calamite cone fossil but I have been wrong before, so I am asking for a second opinion. Thank you very much! Important information: This fossil was pulled off a shale cliff that is abundant in calamite and fern fossils. The cliff is located near Carnegie, Pennsylvania (Western PA). The specific fossil has both calamite and ferns on the reverse side. Edit 1: The size is about 1.5 inches (3.81 cm). Information that is possibly helpful but may not be: The cliff has a few layers of coal and black colored shale, while the majority of the cliff is a grey colored shale. This rock was pulled off just above a black shale line. Edited November 14, 2020 by GooseScroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Looks more like a branch to me, but maybe @paleoflor knows better. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Almost looks like a growth tip of a calamites. Could be a calymostachys, though.
