Strepsodus Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hi. I found this in South Yorkshire, UK in the Pennine Middle Coal Measures formation (upper Carboniferous.) Is it part of an insect wing or just a plant? I think it may be the negative half of the fossil though I'm not sure. Thanks, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I did a bit of brightening and cropping and rotating. In this one, I outlined the missing chunk of matrix. It may be possible, but it reminded me more of a shark egg case - something like Palaeoxyris sp. ? Too bad that chunk is missing.

Jesuslover340 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Not in any way an expert on fossilized insects, but it does look reminiscent of one I found from the Permian of Oklahoma: "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."-Romans 14:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strepsodus Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hi. Thanks for the replies. That Permian insect wing is very nice- well done. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While likely not the same (Asthenohymen sp.), it does kind of show similar structure indicating yours may be an insect wing, I think.

Micah Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hmmm reminds me of one of the fossils I'm still trying to ID, but in mine you can still see the veins of the bug wings. (This is Late Pennsylvanian/Early Permian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Personally I'm leaning more towards Annularia, because of the circular shape towards the attachment point and the evenly spaced (in this case pinnules) objects. Don't want to burst any bubbles, just my observations. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taogan Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I am also leaning towards plant with this one, I can't see any veins that would confirm it's a wing. Maybe some more pictures with the light at a different angle would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think Plant of some kind on this one your item, Micah. I adjusted contrast, and am not seeing any insect loking veining on this.
