Hi, was on a road trip a few weeks ago for work and stopped at a spot where rocks had been excavated along the road. These rocks where full of partial leaf imprints and stems, alongside Trilobites and bivalves. The first pic is of a few partials I found, second pic has the fossil in question and a stem or leaf of sorts. I am not sure of the age as I'm still trying to piece together how there are leaves with the devonian fossils:headscratch:I'm guessing that the the rocks are from different layers, the fauna bieng middle to late devonian while the Flora is permian in age. Anyway, will not be getting a chance to go out there anytime soon again. What do you think the spherical fossil could be? Thanks

I would guess that its just part of the rock, but I could be wrong.

Definitely possible and I would except that. Thanks for your reply.

Permian Flora is not typical for this area and must have been late devonian in age. I don't think it's a seed, I do still think it's a fossil though.
