New Members TerryG17 Posted May 23 New Members Share Posted May 23 (edited) Hello, can anyone help to ID what this is, we don’t tend to find anything except plant remains or bivalves in the sandstone here. image was a 3d scan but then screen shot so no other app was needed to view Edited May 23 by TerryG17 Scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm inclined to think that most of these traces record the movement of bivalves, or at least bivalved animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Seems a reasonable hypothesis to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm seeing a few different ichno-genus present. Could be from bivalves, worms, or arthropods.

New Members Bruce Hatfield Posted August 16 New Members Share Posted August 16 This is a track that I collected about 30 years ago near a stripper pit in an area that was Upper Carboniferous sediments near Montgomery Indiana. The rock is sandstone. My best guess in that it was a worm track in an ancient ocean bottom or beach. I would like some other opinions on that idea. I would like to loan it to a local museum. I probably will but label it as a trace fossil trackway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
