New Members selair_chapman Posted July 29, 2015 New Members Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hey all. First post, new to fossils. Was near Duncan BC, Canada last week on Mount Tzouhalem at a failed development excavation site where I know people have found a lot of ammonites and bivalves from the cretaceous. Came across this and have no idea what it is. The small piece is just one section of the long tube. Side angle and cross section shots. Over 4 hours of searching I only came across two of these, so not terribly common. Strata is very loose/fragile shale. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 By all appearances, they run through the bedding planes; is this the case? If so, the only things that come to mind are burrows, or plants/roots. The former is MUCH more likely in marine deposits.

Suspected marine roots but thought they might be more common if that was the case. In any event, I am totally new to this so makes as much sense as anything. Thanks!
