Kane Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Where in Manitoba was this found? And just be advised that the Manitoba Heritage Act prohibits the removal of any fossil without a permit. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer
Mark Kmiecik Posted June 15 Posted June 15 How big is it? The photos are a bit blurry. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

FossilDAWG Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Can we get some sharper photos? Also "southeastern Manitoba" is a bit vague. Can we get a nearby town? There are Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian aged rocks in that area, each with a different set of fossils. Don

FossilDAWG Posted June 16 Posted June 16 In that area the bedrock should be Ordovician Red River Formation. The rock you posted looks like the dolomitic limestone that is common in that formation, although if it was loose on the ground there could be glacially transported material from the north, which could be other ages. The photo is still focused on the counter top, not the surface of the rock. Also it would be more useful to see closeups of individual circular structures than the entire rock. So far I don't see any internal structure that suggests any fossil type in particular, as opposed to some minerological phenomena. Don
SPrice Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Looks like a paleo flake with cortex outer skin. Possible that it came off of a nodule that was naturally or human intentionally struck. As far as the circles go...no clue.

Taking a picture with that in place may help.
