This fossil is from Poland I was told it looks like a piece of a skull cap mixed in with these plant fossils any ideas?

It doesn't appear to be a body fossil. So the dimples of such a bone would be expressed as bumps on the mold.

Being in context with stigmaria, I wonder if it represents a paleosol surface.

A mold of the carapace of a large arthropod (eurypterid) comes to mind, but I can't see any structure, articulation or symmetry that would lead an id in that direction.

Context is critical.

Arthropleura was what first came to my mind as well (I love me some big bugs :wub:)

My first impression is Stigmaria, which would fit with the other plant material.

I agree with Roger. Stigmaria or some sort of decorticated limb/trunk.
