Biological or what?


OregonFossil

Recommended Posts

Is that a biological in the center (ribbed red object)? This is around 800X (scope = 10x object, 50" HD TV, no barlow, 1/2.5" sensor).  About a 1/5 crop of a 5 mpx camera.

 

Any Ideas?

The photos are too fuzzy to be able to make out any details. It would certainly be helpful if you could give some stratigraphic information or at least a precise location.

I'm afraid you're going to have to try to make some much sharper photos if you want any kind of serious judgement. Unless we happen to have someone here who is well familiar with this Formation.

Any chance it could be an extant insect exoskeleton?  It almost has that kind of look to it

My first thought was extant arthropod or insect exoskeleton as well.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
