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.

Blue Geode

Okay, this is not a fossil from the Louisville area but a geode from an area around Lake Cumberland, Kentucky. It was blue colored so I took the diamond saw and cut it in two pieces. It was almost solid but not quite.

I might try and polish it to see if brings out any details.
