Two spongy-looking rocks

Recommended Posts

Hi!  I found a few things while kayaking along the coast the other day (Pennsylvania, on Lake Erie).   They look spongy to me so I thought maybe they could be a fossil of some kind?

 

Item #1:  Approx. 2" x 3"

Item #2:  Approx.  3" x 4"

I have two other items to post but I can't fit them here, I will put in another post :)

 

Thanks!  ~ Cari

It is a trace fossil from a burrowing organism. The burrows could have been made when the sediment was soft or could have been made by organisms boring into a hardened rock cobble on the ocean bottom.  

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.
