Seeds of something? Hi there. I have no information about your question, but thinking with some logic, and assuming that these insects were trapped in a pond when it was drying, I think they are some kind of aquatic plant, like duckweed.

Tidgy's Dad Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Lots of plants are found in these deposits where they fell into the water. I just wondered if olishale might know this common type to save me doing my research. Edited October 5, 2021 by Tidgy's Dad 1 Link to comment
Paleorunner Posted October 5, 2021 I have multiple bugs from the same place, and almost all arrays have the same inclusions. If you discover what they are, pass me information please. 1 Link to comment

Paleorunner Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) UAAUUU .. Thank you very much. My thinking with duckweed was totally wrong. @Tidgy's Dad Edited October 6, 2021 by Paleorunner 1 Link to comment
Tidgy's Dad Posted October 6, 2021 Ah, thanks, that makes sense. Though Conchostraca doesn't exist anymore, it's been split into three. 1 Link to comment
