Yes, While Skolithos is a generic term for vertical burrows which covers a wide range of geological time, I guess yours are similar age in rocks deformed by the Appalacian Orogeny? Glad you like the vids.
These trace fossils aren’t great for dating rocks as they occur across a wide range of time. But in this case it is their very first appearance at the start of the Cambrian. Around 550 million years ago.
Great filming
It took a bit of explaining but the cameraman got the idea in the end
All the nice geo-insitu-classes! Nice Dave! 👊🏻💥 The pink chinchilla brings all the style to the video! Greetings from Lausanne! 😊🙏🏻🌻

Thanks doctor. If there are trace fossils of "worm holes?" that would somewhat date this? When?
