Liverwort belonging to the family Lejeuneaceae, contained within the same specimen depicting pholadid domichnia; adjacent to it, is a small root trichome, possibly that of a fern (such trichomes are commonly observed in Myanmar amber, comparable to the presence of stellate "oak" trichomes in Baltic amber). Provenance of specimen is Tanai Township, Myitkyina District, Myanmar. This image was captured using a HAYEAR HY-1070 microscope.© Kaegen Lau

An odd specimen I have been meaning to post for a while. From the Jurassic Talbragar Fish Beds in western New South Wales. Apologies for not including anything for size reference, but it is 3.5cm long. Perhaps it could be something like a thallose liverwort or lichen? Some other smaller delicate plants are known from the site including Selaginella spp., so they don't seem out of question. Curious to hear your thoughts. A very difficult specimen to photograph, I had to use a pretty week flash from the side to even make it visible, so the photos are quite dark. Thanks,
