jpc Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I would be surprised if it is a flower. They rarely fossilize, but there is an interesting pattern in there. Can you take photo with the light coming at a low angle from the upper left side? That makes the three dimensional-ness stand out better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Trace has a slightly different use as a term in paleontology. The faint remains of seeds of some sort seems the most possible. Any other examples that you can use for reference would be helpful, if fossils are known in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Fischer Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Sorry for the delay of a few months. Here is a picture of some similar fossils, I am pretty sure I had more and also ones that are much more similar to your fossils but I can't find them. I also think that your fossils are brachiopods and I know that mine are probably brachiopods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
