What Is It. Fossilized Chicken Foot?

[Ludwigia]

Nice! Finding flowers is really something special.

And luckily all the flowers I have found there have been different.

This is from the same Oligocene keasy fm as the Isocrinus

Ok, this has gotten outright disgusting!

Beautiful specimens.

Here's another deep water sweetie, from between the crinoids. But no longer in my collection.

I gave it to Bruce Welton for further study

As found---------------------------- After prep

Wow... on all of these. I think your flower (post25) though might be a seed pod. I don't see pistils or anthers. And seed pod fossilize better, even in these types of deposits. So... are you gettinh crinoids along with the insects and leaves? Or are these two different sites?

[PRK]

Of course I don't get insects in the same deposited. I really don't know WHAT I was thinking, I apologize for the confusion !!!

However, I have found a crinoid, a sharktooth, and a nice crab on one piece. Pretty cool association.
