paleo.nath Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I have this fossil here which at first glance I perceived to be some kind of seed, however I’m not sure. These are both from the same individual, just the positive and negative sides. It is just shy of half an inch long. It was found in the North Attleboro section of the Rhode Island formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRatKing Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 From these pictures I only see a pyrite formation. Possible to have some close ups of the features you are asking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The overall appearance reminds me of Cordaicarpus. This example is from the Pennsylvanian of Misssouri: Are Cordaites leaves found in the bed? 1 Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Agreed. The geometry of it's perimeter is wrong for a natural pyrite crystal cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
