stubee5 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 the first one could be either a jellyfish or some sort of brachiopod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacialerratic Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 #1 is too poorly preserved, most likely a jelly. #2 is interesting, but I have no idea. Looks like a piece of shell is next to the leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubee5 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 the first one could be a chiton instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFossils Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I would agree that the first specimen is either a porrly preserved Essexella asherae or just some mineralization. The second specimen is a plant fragment. Possibly an Odontopteris. Here is a similar specimen in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
