Monica Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 HI all! I was just casually perusing my fossils, and I noticed that there are some black fragments on a rock that contains an orthoconic nautiloid that I found at Etobicoke Creek here in Mississauga, Ontario (Georgian Bay Formation, Upper Ordovician). Are these black fragments fossil-related, or are they something else? Please see pictures below: Thanks for your input! Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 It looks like a conglomerate of a bunch of stuff in it. Cool orthocone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
