Today I would like to share with you a fossil I have which I am shy to show because I have shown it to palaeontologist at the Royal Ontario Museum, (ROM) and they said no it isn’t because it doesn’t fit into the correct time period for this area.
I was disappointed but relieved at the same time because now I can keep it
I am grateful to them because they gave me their time and experience, but I keep it on my shelf and this is what I think, as the Silurian sea slipped a way land did begin to happen. Fungi and eventually vascular plants. I found this fossil of a Psilophyton, which I have included and this is difficult for me to present on a scientific forum but on the bottom left I think it is an insect, possibly a Diptera Empididae, and have included a diagram. I have placed straight pins to point out my examples. If you continue looking there are more examples Psilophyton. I have studied this fossil for years now.
