Rockwood Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I think this is actually a sedimentary structure known as a lens. Moving water is commonly place that they are formed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilshale Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 This is not a fossil. It is purely of geological origin. Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a soft thin layer of sediment being squeezed out by pressure from between two firmer layers. Wherever one of the firmer layers ends the softer stuff gets squeezed out along that edge forming a long snake-like rod of sediment that eventually hardens. Sometimes it's nearly round in cross-section; sometimes it's lenticular. Pick a shape/cross-section combo -- they've just about ALL been done. Nature is malicious in her efforts to confuse us. 1 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...
westcoast Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I'm not totally convinced that this is geological. The lower right end appears to show a sub spherical cross section. Could be poorly preserved plant, or burrow, possibly maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
