I was recently contacted by a specialist who is studying Neuropteris lindahli and identified this section as most certainly being another piece, I have another section here which he identified as another Neuropteris lindahli mislabeled as Pecopteris sp. -
Help with ID'ing unknown frond-looking fossil from Silurian Waldron Shale
TK421 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! I was wondering if you guys could help me ID this fossil. I found it in the Waldron Shale (Middle Silurian) collecting piles that the Falls of the Ohio State Park (SE Indiana) sets out for guests to rummage through (they get their shale piles from the Sellersburg Quarry, Sellersburg IN, Clark Co). I wasn't sure if it is part of a crinoid, burrows, or some sort of frond-type bryozoan or coral. I have August F. Foerste's Silurian Fauna of KY document but didn't see anything in his figures that caught my eye. The ruler in my photo shows the centimeter side. The true color of the shale is more blue-gray but I have a desk lamp with a warm white bulb on it which is giving the pic a false yellowish hue. Thanks in advance for your help and expertise.
