Enigmatic Fossils from the Upper Cambrian Abrigo Formation in SE Arizona
 

Updated  6/22/20
 

 At one locality only just south of Tucson, we found one small slab with some rather peculiar bead like fossils on them. They all seem to have a hole through them leading to the suggestion of being perhaps a stem ossicle. But being spherical is not typical of such. We have never found them again, and have no idea what they may be! Write me if you have any great ideas on this.

 7x view of area of slab with fossils. they appear to me anyway to be in linear rows laying on the bottom. Small calcareous algae? Stem ossicles? Forams?

 40x close up showing holes on each bead.
