EMP Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Is this a gastropod shell? It's from the Pocono Group like most of my other finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusFossils Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 There's something plant-like to the right..so your fossil is probably a seed of some sort.

Yes it's a branch off of a Triphyllopteris seed fern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, very doubtful you have a gastropod next to a branch. Not impossible though. I'd think it's more likely a seed...more typically found in coal age deposits. Cool find either way!
