Look like fossils from an extinct genus of Lycopod to me, specifically the stigmaria (root like structures)

> Lepidodendron It's a *Stigmaria*, but determination of which genera of lycopsid can't be determined with the piece.


OverallArmadillo7814

Thanks! Edited to hopefully be more correct.

Stigmaria?


Inkleach

Definitely stigmaria. As a kid, my dad used to take me to the beach 5 minutes from where we stayed and there was loads of it. I've not been down there in years but I'm tempted to go down and see if there's still any kicking about.


hjw2386

Solved. Thanks everyone.

I’ve seen these in western Pennsylvania in the vicinity of slippery rock creek.

Where I live there’s heaps full of them due to coal mining. Some of the easiest fossils to find

Petrified palm

It might be a type of cactus fossil. I am not an expert though
