3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoThis fossil was found in a small creak cutting through a field near Catawba Ohio. Because it was found in a creak, it could have come from any number of places, so I don’t think analyzing it in reference to its geological location will help. It’s made up of almost cylindrical “stems” (for lack of a better word) stuck together, and is very small, as are most of my finds for some reason. Any help in the identification of this fossil would be very much appreciated!
crinoid stems?
looks more like a plant stem. those vertical parallel fibers are diagnostic
I bet your right @leonardo-miranda, but if it is, what kind of stem is it from?
can’t say any more than that. see if anyone knows more about plant life
Thanks @leonardo-miranda.
@mackenzie-smith could help ID if it is a plant.
@chase-grim I think this is a tabulate coral like Favosites. Maybe not Favosites specifically but similar.
