araucaria1959 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Additional pictures taken from the sides of the stone where the structure in question is broken off may help. Trace fossil? Wood? Do you know something about the age of the specimen or other fossils from the same locality? araucaria1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissa318 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I found it in a cut embankment in Eighty Four PA that went down about 14 feet. I found the brachiopods along with some other finds (which I haven't posted yet-but believe plant fossils) about 1/4 of a mile away from this... Probably doesn't help much. Gonna pull up a map and check. Not sure if Pennsylvanian there or not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourian Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The folds on one side remind me of lava. I think I can see little bubbles, but I'm not sure. Being found in Pittsburgh, it's possible that it could be a piece of slag. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I find more I will know. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
