New Members MrG Posted June 18, 2022 New Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 I found this rock and smashed it open while taking a walk at Lake Ontario. What I found inside seems rather interest. It is sort of egg shaped but what got my attention is 3 near parallel lines in the possible pattern of a bird or reptile foot, maybe too. Possibly branching lines like blood vessels or roots? It's not very big, maybe a couple inches in length at most and a good part of it is still embedded in the rock. I don't know if there may be more embedded in the rock. I couldn't identify the other fragments that came off the rock after I broke it open unfortunately. I'd love to hear some opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Very much a newbie when it comes to ID'ing Ontario fossils beyond Crinoids (Which is funny cause I grew up there) but that looks to me like a Trilobite, possibly? Or at least the head? Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Looks more like an internal mold of a gastropod, to me. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Gastropod mold was my first impression as well. It is a fossil, just not the one you expected. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
