Weird "7" shaped fossil

[Miocene_Mason]

Here's another fossil from Carbondale, shaped like a check, or an L or a 7. Two in fact, I split the rock and it's inside it as well, so its thick. Any ideas?

Separate leaf imprints crossing each other. The "L" is pure coincidence.

[Rockwood]

Agreed.

I was considering tool marks, but the layering sort of rules that out.

Twice? There's another L next to it. Nature always trying to mess me up. Any ideas on taxon? I'm new to this period so im not sure what diagnostic details are needed, but what's the highest classification possible?

Yep twice. Mother nature does this....Lycopod leaves. Here's a sample I have from Alabama that showing a similar overlap....

I dont have any 7's. 

 

Cool finds.

No, but it does look like Zorro left his mark on yours
