Calcite Deposit

This is not a fossil but I found it with the last batch of rocks I posted from Blankenbaker Road. Sparse findings at that road cut so this is the last rock and I always like picking up calcite. [Updated: I originally declared this was quartz but after doing a scratch test it appears to be calcite.]

I will try to start using the ruler when taking pictures from now on though.

Bubble Pseudofossils at Blankenbaker Road

Here are some bubble looking structures found at a road cut at Blankenbaker Road in Louisville/Jeffersontown Kentucky.

There are a lot of these shapes in the rock but I am not sure it was some sort colonial creatures or just little rocks bunched together.

UPDATE (2014): This is probably some sort of oolitic limestone.

Maybe a Brachiopod at Blankenbaker Road

Here is a rock piece with bubble like shapes and also some straight line projected out radially. It could be piece of brachiopod or a bunch of pseudofossils.

As you can see the rock there is pretty weathered.

Coral at Blankenbaker Road?

Some type of coral or bryozoan from the road cut at Blankenbaker Road in Louisville. I stopped there and looked for about 30 minutes and found not a lot of signs of fossils. An occasional crinoid stem disc embedded in the rock.

Lots of little bubble like shapes in sheets on the rock at different layers. Some sort of pseudofossil? A later post will show what I am talking about.
