Fish fin or Plant (Mazon Creek Pit 11)

Hi FF,

I purchased this off of eBay last year - and after reviewing and looking at reference ID books. I am beginning to suspect I may have been duped.

I purchased this advertised as a fish fin. Although I believe it looks like either equisetites or lepidophylloides.

Thoughts greatly appreciated.

All I can make not of is that a couple of the 'rays' spllit and diverge. This is a very un-fishlike characteristic.

Could it be a fragment of a cyclopteris leaf?...
