Fullux Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Howdy all, I was in my geo class today and my group and I identified this as a piece of shale. I saw what looks like plant fossils in it, and was wondering if that is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Depends on where the shale is from. Looks like Calamites, perhaps. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago This looks like the external surface, as opposed to being a pith cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like some of the rocks I've seen around here (Morehead), and I know we have shale deposits as well as carboniferous deposits here.

Mark Kmiecik Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I'm thinking Calamites as well. 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...
