My wife and I walked the creek bed today looking for arrowheads, fossils, or just neat rocks. We found a bunch of things, mostly just neat rocks, but there were a few I could use some help with an ID.
Here's a decent crinoid stem fragment -- these are common around here, but generally much smaller and less distinct. This is probably a quarter inch diameter and two inches long.
Then we also found some of what we used to call "worm rocks" when we were kids. Not sure if that's what they really are. The second one you can actually see some segments or ribs or something.
Then there's this thing. It's a thin piece of something resembling shale. Nothing on the back side, but on the front is this dark area, like it had something sandwiched on this side. No idea what, though.
And last but certainly not least, this thing. It's hard to capture in a photo, but it looks like at least three different soft, frondly, feathery plants or something like that. If anyone know what this is, we'd sure love to know.
Thanks!
