hokietech96 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi. I have no idea where to even begin with this one. Just found this in the Lee Creek matrix that I have been working through the past month. This one is 1MM. My uneducated guess is..... nevermind I have absolutely no clue! Anyone's guess would be better than mine. Thanks for any feedback. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doushantuo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 my bad:foraminiferan,would be a slightly more correct term. I've included a faunal list from 2001 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doushantuo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 i've found a somewhat in-depth article dealing with the cenozoic forams of the Atlantic USA coast . the LO-res version is 27 Mb,as you can see on that page. It starts on p.363 of the book edit: having said that,the Lo-res version certainly lives up to its name,the scans looked washed-out,and morphological details are not as clear as they should be . I'm downloading the Hi-res version now,but the download takes over two minutes now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doushantuo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 That makes way more sense.The ornament and the pustules around the edge i found tough to reconcile with foram Good call,Al!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peat Burns Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Agree with Al Dente. Likely Chenopodiaceae. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Al Dente Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 You can find a lot of odd modern material while looking for small fossils. I just found this roach egg case a few minutes ago. Thought it was a ray tooth plate until I picked it up and wiped it off. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is to funny. When I first found it I thought I had a rare fossil that I can win some award of the month on a certain website.... Back to searching! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
