JIMMFinsman Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 That's very cool. Could be Indian pottery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I think nautiloid cephalopod is right. 1 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still stuck in matrix, and the item is consistently homogenous looking, with the matrix. This looks to me like an actinocerid type cephalopod. The area around Fort McMurray is mostly Cretaceous in age, but does have some Devonian exposures, namely the Devonian Waterways Formation that outcrops along the Athabasca River.

Fossildude19 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Looks like a bivalve in the first picture, and some orthid brachiopods in other pictures. Pretty sure the rounded rock is just a rock, and not a coral. Not seeing any coralites. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

JIMMFinsman Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Cephalopod for sure. Take a look very similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
