Highlands Glacial Till Site 5


Odd Rocks

Recommended Posts

I didn’t put this one with sample 4 because the projections are different and there is no view of stacked columns, but it could be the same.  The toothy “face” in the first pic is pretty cool looking even though it’s not a real critter’s face!

 

Like the others, these come out of a layer of glacial till found near the top of the Ohio Valley Knobs (~920’ elev.), Indiana side, near Louisville.  I’m sorry I don’t have layers to date any of these.  If you’d like different angles or magnification, please ask.

Maybe a silicified coral? 

Hard to say, as silicification tends to distort the morphology of fossils.

I lean towards a coral as well, maybe a tabulate mound given the size of the columns and calyx.

This one probably is a heavily geodised crinoid.
