Are those conchostrachans? (spelling..) also? Theyre in a few insect locales.

Looks like a stonefly, Sinotaeniopteryx sp.

Thanks Sdsnl for the hint with the stonefly - helped a lot. 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.

Ash, these Jurassic beds near Daohugou are full of conchostraca or clam shrimps. 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).

What is the difference between Promenoura and Sinotaeniopteryx?

Pronemoura is from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou - Sinotaeniopteryx is from the Lower Cretaceous of Beipiao.

Ah I see, thanks!

Great info, might you have access to the full text of this paper? I have a clam shrimp with some white balls, been assuming they are coprolites, but would love to check if they are eggs.

Not the one I mentioned, but same topic: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/283909518_Exceptional_preservation_of_clam_shrimp_Branchiopoda_Eucrustacea_eggs_from_the_Early_Cretaceous_Jehol_Biota_and_implications_for_paleoecology_and_taphonomy
