flipper559 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Finally getting through some of my over-winter tubs and buckets of concretions. This is an interesting one from pit 11. I'm not sure what it is. Have a look. Any ideas ?? @connorp @deutscheben @fiddlehead @Mark Kmiecik @stats @Rob Russell @Roby @RCFossils Rock On !!

RCFossils Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 This appears to be a shrimp molt. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 It also resembles Jeletzkya douglassae (squid) to an extant. Possibly both in association? Of course, if we consider Occam's razor, it's a molt. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipper559 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 I found this nice piece of bark on Saturday. It was an open find. I believe it is Diaphorodendron rimosum with a nice association of Spirorbis. It measures around 4 inches by 4 inches. If I am mistaken about the variety, please correct me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this was Palaeoxyris lewisi Zidek ?? What do you think ?? Rock On !! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred97 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 That would be my best guess. Palaeoxyris lewisi. It doesn't look narrow enough overall to be Palaeoxyris prendelli and I think the bands in Palaeoxyris appendiculatum are narrower. is this from Braceville? How about the fish scale, I assume that is from the creek? I'm very jealous of the scale, too - haven't found one yet and I think they are really beautiful.

Mark, I always like finding both halves. But I am also happy to find anything nice. So, I guess one is always better than none. Rock On !!
