Ash Posted March 17, 2017 Are those conchostrachans? (spelling..) also? Theyre in a few insect locales. Link to comment

I've checked the literature and found more than ten almost identical looking species (at least to my eyes) described from this location. But I think I could nail it down to Pronemoura shii Liu, Sinitshenkova, Ren & Shih, 2011. Pronemouridae fam. nov. (Insecta: Plecoptera), the stem group of Nemouridae and Notonemouridae, from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, China On 17.03.2017 at 8:01 AM, Ash said: Are those conchostrachans?

Even clam shrimps with eggs have been found there, but to determine to what family they belong is something for absolute specialists only (and far beyond my knowledge).

I have a clam shrimp with some white balls, been assuming they are coprolites, but would love to check if they are eggs. Link to comment
