bthemoose Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 What's the scale? I identified the somewhat similar-looking fragment below that I found in Aquia matrix as an Ostracion sp. dermal plate based on photos from @MarcoSr's website (the tick marks in my photos are millimeters). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The below page comes from the paper Weems ADDITIONS TO THE BONY FISH FAUNA FROM THE EARLY EOCENE NANJEMOY FORMATION OF MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA (U.S.A) in the Mosasaur Volume XI June 2020. Note, although the below figure is showing Eocene specimens, you can readily see the similarity of E and F to the Paleocene Aquia specimens in this post.
