My group found this weird fossil they have shared it with some paleontologist who are absolutely certain it is dinosaur, I don't want to sway anyone here. It is smaller then .5mm. Very smooth in some places. I was leaning more towards scute?

I was shown this rock recently and am trying to get an ID. It was found near Weldon, Montana, USA in a wash. Likely from Paleocene age Fort Union Formation. I thought they were leaves initially, but at least one white section looks more like a vein when seen in cross section. That can be seen in the fourth photo, center left. Sample is approximately 14 x 12 x 4 cm. Outer brown layer of the rock has a very glassy texture. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm looking for help in identifying some leaf fossils/impressions I found in the Fort Union formation in Montana. Most were found in S.E Montana. There are many different kinds. Can someone help me identify them? Can someone give me a good point of contact for someone? Here are several examples. Tia.

Grandson found this in an outcrop of immature sandstone in the proximal fluvial facies of the Paleocene Fort Union Formation in Park County, Montana. My current guess, based on the age of the outcrop and the depositional paleo-environment, is that it is a fossil plant, although it doesn't look much like one.

I am looking for some help IDing these leaves. They were collected less than a mile north of Miles City. They came out of the Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation. They are Paleocene, Danian age. These leaf fossils were with Sequoia and grass leaves.

A friend found this in Central Montana and is wondering if it is a worm. It's from the Fort Union Formation in an area of plant fossils. I think it is a stem or root end. Any ideas? Only an inch long or so and has lots of fuzz or something.
