Rosemary Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I found this inside a soft clayey stone. Washed if off and wondered about the symmetry. Is it fossil? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The darker colored things maybe fossil, need some close ups of them. The overall piece looks like a concretion or nodule. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The symmetry probably washed off with the clay. There's just a hint of a pattern in the enlarged photo, but I'm not seeing anything fossil there. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Rockwood Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I think there are two different ichno taxa here. One with simple fill, and the other a more complex structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I think they look like burrow cast with mineralization in them. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
