Plant or feather (Glen Rose / Devils River Lower Cretaceous Texas)
Mr.Marcus posted a topic in Fossil ID
Could someone please help me identify this fossil. I'm not sure if it is a plant or feather. My instincts tell me it is some sort of filtering sea plant. I found it while fossil hunting with my boys on top of small mountain approximately 3 miles west-northwest of Camp Wood, TX. The geologic atlas of Texas indicates that the formation is the Lower Devils River / Upper Glen Rose (Lower Cretaceous). The fossil is 1.5" x 0.5".- 9 replies

I picked this up as part of a collection this is one of the few items that did not have labels or information. It looks like a feather to me but I am no expert. Thank you

Hello, This is a fossil found by my father, probably in Illinois. USA. Although I am not a paleontologist I am guessing it is a feather because of the detail; however I think the height of convex shape (3/8") (or depth of the concave impression) that was created would indicate a plant of some kind. The length of the fossil itself is 4". Thank you for any help you can give me. Lunaqua
