paleonet Kentucky Mystery Fossil

[Brandon Nuttall <bnuttall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

As long as we are examining mystery fossils, how about one from east 
central Kentucky.

      http://www.uky.edu/KGS/emsweb/fossil/kyfossil.htm

The fossil occurs as a limonite crust on an iron-rich chert nodule. The 
nodule was found in a creek bed about 1.5 miles southeast of Berea, Madison 
County, east central Kentucky. It is most likely from the Lower 
Mississippian Borden formation. However, the possibility exists that it 
could come from the Devonian New Albany shale.

What do you think?
