@kyle-griffiths I have a chunk of tree stump from the Jurassic (? I have to check macrostrat) that has this pattern to it. I’ll try to upload it later today. would love if you could help narrow it down.
U-Dig is part of the Wheeler Formation which is Middle Cambrian. No fish and no trees. I will see what I can find online that resembles this fossil. I am not too good with sponges so I’ll “dig” to see what I can find for you.
@cameron-muskelly thanks! I only say sponge as there was a similar fossil at the pay station that they said was a sponge. Pintrest (!) suggests Margaretia dorus which looking at other more reliable sources seems correct. If someone with a more trained eye agrees I’ll update. I’m cleaning up images of the wood I have with a similar texture, and will post that in a few.
@cameron-muskelly take a look at this!!
Wow! Now that is quite interesting! The detail of it is spectacular!
almost looks like scale tree bark, it also looks like the dark shale of the Carboniferous!
