    Too much time on my hands lately so I’m examining my collection of unusual rocks I’ve found around my own property or near by.

    This fossil was found among a huge “bale” of flat rocks I bought to face a retaining wall. I do not know where the rocks I bought were collected but considering transportation costs, they likely came from SE part of US.
    It measures 8” X 12” X 0.5”.
    It has raised figures on both sides which look like worms or baby snakes.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts about it.
    Thanks for having a look!

      These are worm tracks made in mud which later turned into rock. They don't contain actual worms just their trails.

      Eileen, kinda like a drunkard’s path of the worm world, I suppose!

      they could just as easily be snail trails.

      Thanks ho2cultcha, for leaving a comment. I wish the pictures could show better the “tactile quality”….there are ridges and depressions in the stone….I think a snail would only leave a slime trail on the surface.

      Thanks apostata, I appreciate your input….you gave me my first smile of the day.

      Thank you to everyone for taking a look and leaving a >Love<
