    • Possibly part of a trilobite or fern

    • I agree with your assessment @i-edwards! It certainly looks like a trilobite mold. My guess would be Devonian based on the rock & preservation. Maybe @nathan-newell can confirm as he collects in similar rocks. Classification can be Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Arthropoda > Class Trilobita.

    • @jbauer @i-edwards I agree, it definitely looks like the back half of a trilobite mold. I’m not so sure about the age, the rocks I’ve collected have looked very different. I tend to find trilobites in freshly-split shale, but the rock here is really weathered. That makes sense if it was found along the river, but it’s interesting that the trilobite itself doesn’t look weathered at all. I wonder what its counterpart was like!

    • Probably a zachanthoidies trilobite
