I set my 8 year old to work with a rubber mallet and old screwdriver on a landscape boulder in a SE Seattle neighborhood where the bedrock is the Blakeley formation, and where the homeowner was pretty sure their boulders were local bedrock. This was his favorite find, I said it looks like a bit of leaf/seed pod/wood to me. Anyone have thoughts about what it is? It measures almost exactly 1.0 cm x 0.5 cm.

At 1400 hours on 10/13/2018, I collected a number of specimens from the Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation. The location is about a mile north of Miles City. The rock is fine silty clay with leaves and twigs mixed into the sediment. Above the strata is a layer of cattails forming a matted layer. Source for leaf identification came from Reproductive and Vegetative Organs of Browniea gen. n. (Nyssaceae) from the Paleocene of North America Article in International Journal of Plant Sciences, February 2007.

A friend picked up a fossil on the beach at Fossil Island, Alaska about 15 years ago. He's always thought it was a leaf, but I think it looks more like a shell.

Hello and thank you for your input. This slab is 20" x 15" and has a folded, what I believe to be a sigillaria leaf that is about 30" long. I am not sure though? I have color changed one of the photos so you can see the specimen in the center.

I collected this at Douglas Pass last year. Can anyone identify it? I was thinking it was Lygodium, but seeing other images of Lygodium I am now not at all sure and am thinking maybe Sapindus? Obviously I am not great on the plant IDs I am not hiving great luck in finding a good paper to identify flora from this site. I was really hoping for something like the Daniel Axlerod papers which are very comprehensive. I do have one called "Fossils from the Green River Formation" by Dayvault and another called " Common Plant Fossils from the Green River Formation at Douglas Pass, Colorado and Bonanza, Utah" by Johnson & Plumb. Both good, but short. "The Lost World of Fossil Lake" is also a good book that has helped me some. Anyone have any other good suggestions?

From the album: cheney's korean plant fossil collection
This is a korean leaf fossil. but quality is little bad. -
I just "Re-discovered" these fossils in one of my drawers, it's been a while. I found the first shark tooth at Venice Beach FL about a year ago. The second shark tooth I found at Rock Springs a little more recently. And the leaf/Single-celled animal, I found somewhere in central FL. I don't remember the exact location. I'm also not sure about the leaf thing, do the different colors in the rock mean anything? I also understand the pictures are kind of bad, my camera has been giving me a lot of problems lately.
