Fullux Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Howdy all, Found this a little while ago in a Silurian deposit near McNeely Lake park in Louisville, Kentucky. Part of me thinks it's a coral or something like that, but part of me wants it to be a plant fossil of some sort from a younger layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Definitely not coral in my opinion and probably not plant either. My suspicion is that this is an example of harnish or slickenside morphology, but let's wait for some more opinions, since I'm not at all familiar with this Formation. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

FossilNerd Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Looks like slickensides to me as well.

ScottBlooded Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I agree with slickensides, I used to pick these up thinking they were petrified wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
