Mainefossils Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Fossil forum, I just uncovered this possible fossil. It is from the Leighton Fm. To be honest, I am not sure it is actually a fossil, but I wanted to check. I was thinking that it could be a conodont element, but am unsure. Any help on its id would be helpful. Here are some pictures of it: The more I learn, the more I find that I know nothing. Regards, Asher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacTheFossilMan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 That's not to say it isn't a fossil though - I'd wait until someone else comes! ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

ThePhysicist Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I don't know conodont elements very well. However, I believe it would be helpful to fully uncover/extract the object in question.
