RossK Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hi, new to the game and hoping someone might be able to ID a recent find (see attached photos). Setting is diatomite bed (fresh water) between basalt flows (tertiary age) in the Mt Sylvia Region, Southeast Queensland Australia. The fossil in question is ~ 13mm long, suggested it is a seed of some description. I have added a couple of leaf fossils as well - just in cas eit helps!

Auspex Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Seed seems most likely...could be a bract, but the lack of structural texture (compared to the leaf pictures) might make that less likely. Nice fossils!

izak_ Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Probably leaves and seeds, unknown species though (at least I don't know the species...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
