Silurian Microfossil Identification - Help!


Elasmohunter

Recommended Posts

While fossil hunting last year, I collected some shale from between two lenses of Silurian dolomite in Ohio. I have since cooked it down and searched for microfossils, and all I've found (aside from contaminating insect parts) are what appear to me like marbled fragments of bone and what might be . . . denticles? I'm really not sure and would appreciate any suggestions; please see the attached photos. All fossils are about at most 2 or 3 mm in width. Thanks!

Just guessing maybe scales and piece of dermal plate? I'm surely wrong but this should get correct answer hopefully.
