Crinoids Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I found multiple pieces of this rock which each vary in size but the shape and structure is the same. There is banding and in the middle of each is a cellular structure looking material. Is this some sort of plant? I am in Mississippian strata Indiana USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It looks like it may be wood, but some wood fossils are difficult to diagnose from photos alone. I'm leaning towards yes, but let's let a few others chime in. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
