connorp Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I picked this up thinking it looked vaguely like a fish scale, but I'm not entirely sure either way. Collected from the Cuyahoga Formation (Mississippian) in northern Ohio. Any thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Very intriguing. It reminds me of the pattern on some fish scales and other bones, but that's mostly a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike The site was loaded with fenestrate bryozoans and occasional brachs but that was about it. Nothing worth collecting. I know crinoids and conulariids have been found in the area but I had no luck on that front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
