3 years, 4 months ago3 years, 4 months agoI can’t see the bottom one very good, but the top specimen look like it could be a horse molar fossil. I don’t know where these were found, but horse molars are most prevalent in Florida.

3 years, 4 months ago3 years, 4 months agoI used to find these and kept them until my grandpa told me that they were just rocks that solidified on top of a small mound of dirt, sand or other sediment. I don’t know how trust worthy my grandpa is, but it made sense to me. Still a cool find nonetheless

3 years, 4 months ago3 years, 4 months agoIt could be erosion, but it could also likely be what’s called a phycode. Most phycodes are casts (or coming above the rock it’s in), but some are molds (meaning it dips into the rock like yours). Basically, phycodes are tunnels dug by animals like worms or animals that have an anchoring “foot”, that hole is filled and it leaves a defined impression.

3 years, 4 months ago3 years, 4 months agoHey Pat, I did some quick research on fenestrate bryozoans, and it looks really similar. I found this in Ohio, and it says that most fenestrate bryozoans are found in Kentucky, which isn’t to far from me. Thank you for the new insight!

I don’t think it could be a bird track if you found that in Ohio. Birds would not have existed when the rocks of Ohio were formed, during the Ordovician to lower Permian periods. The earliest bird fossils date from the late Jurassic and later.

Could be the seed of a tree or plant?

Hi @justin-reedy! This is a Brachiopod (lamp shell) in the order Spiriferida. Can you update this info for the eMuseum curators please? Thanks!
