Hello! In the past couple months I have been searching out terrestrial arthropod fossils of the carboniferous. In this time I have procured quite a few specimens that I would love to have examined by members of the community, especially those experienced in the identification of carboniferous fauna. I will post the specimens one by one over the next week, if they turn out to be something different than the name they were sold by I will not be disappointed. My experience in Entomology and close disciplines such as Arachnology and Myriapodology has only been with modern species, excluding minor experience with arachnids in amber, so I am so excited to pick your brains! The first fossil was indicated as being from the Carboniferous Zaleskie Beds of Poland, dated at 314 mya. It was sold to me as a "roach" though I know roaches had yet evolve so if so i'm guessing this would be a roachoid. The fossil itself is 3.0 x 2.5 x 1 cm. I will be posting pictures of the specimen below, please let me know if you have any questions or need further information to support a conclusive ID. Thank you all so much for your help! Looking forward to your input.

I was going through some pieces from a long time ago and am looking to see if anyone has an ID on these two pieces- each one is on 1/2, I do not have the other half. This first piece I think it a partial Roachoid, what do you think? This next piece is small and I am thinking that I am seeing an insect wing, what do you think? @RCFossils @stats @connorp
