Hello! I found these beautiful scales inside a calcium phosphate nodule from Muncie Creek Shale. I believe this fish regurgitation might have some identifiable scales and I would love to know if anyone can nail down an exact species!

 

Location: Missouri

Time period: Pennsylvanian

Formation: Muncie Creek Shale

There's a few skull bones in there as well. Not really sure what this is beyond actinopterygian.
