Carboniferous arthropod?

[oscarinelpiedras]

Hi group! What is your opinion?

 

I bring you this rarity, which seems to be divided into segments, something I had never seen around here until now in my Carboniferous area.

 

It reminds me slightly of an arthropod, maybe it could even resemble an arachnid.

Or maybe they are just plant remains!

 

Note that there are some sort of indentations in some of the fossil segments and there is an area (vaguely reminiscent of an abdomen) that is oval.

 

It comes from the Upper Carboniferous Estephanian B (Saberien) of León, Spain.

Alethopteris zeilleri megafloral zone.

 

Thanks you!!!

It does look kinda crabby but also looks geological, non expert opinion.

What does the rest of the rock look like?  I am having trouble seeing what is fossil from possible mineral

Does anyone else find themselves oscillating from might be to can't be, and then on to could be ?

Looks more like "could be one" to me

The bottom photo has a quite arthropod like symmetry and it could show that contrasting textures are part of the same specimen.
