Even knowing that's how they actually look, my mind just CANT see them as being really like that! They are cool in a way, but really, they just make my eyes hurt.

Hahaha yes! they kinda do, don't they?! At least feel weird...like my vision wants to stretch to compensate, or something. Im sure my eyes would believe it in person(in fossil), but it just doesn't want to on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will allow it to be deformed. Ahh, thank you! It seems so simple! I'm surprised it's not a much more common phenomenon. Would pressure by itself do it, without actually breaking it, without the heat? Or I guess the pressure by itself would create the heat, wouldn't it?

doushantuo Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 image from : R.A.Cooper:interpretation of tectonically deformed fossils. Needless to say that if you taxonomy is based on considerations of size and/or shape,you'd better retrodeform your fossil . Particulary graptolite systematics can be plagued by the effects of slight deformatiom,which changes thecal spacing and angle of the thecal aperture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
