femmephysicist Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I found what I think is a fossil embedded in a rock. Because I do not have an HD camera, I posted in addition to my fossil a simple sketch of what I think are the most important features of the fossil. It was found in a creek in the eastern panhandle of WV, Devonian. It's about the size of the tip of my pinky finger, and shaped similarly, as well. Could someone help me ID this fossil/geological thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looks like a piece of a rugose, or "horn" coral. Very common in some Devonian formations.
