jualhadun87 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hello, As I am sorting through my Oxford clay micro fossil material, there are a bunch of seemingly related items that I have not been able to ID. I have included pictures of two pieces that I think are different parts of the same type of specimen. Most of the pieces I have found are straight or slightly curved sections of roughly square cross section (spec 1) with a circular interior that sometimes bloom out into the odd lumps you see in the other picture (spec 2). I am assuming its something quite common and silly as I have found dozens of them, but I just have not been able to ID them yet. They are in the roughly 1mm size range and come from pre-seived Oxford clay Jurassic period: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
