AcadianofNS Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 I will post a few more photos of it.. 1. Would you say it is an imprint, or a fossilized piece? 2. Also what would you date this too? I've been reading ~300mya I'm in a unique part of the world I'm hoping to find pieces that would be dated to "Romer's Gap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think it is a print as I see no structure in the rock under the surface. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

paleoflor Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 In the absence of internal structure, you might be dealing with a cast (see image). Yet, the structure appears quite two-dimensional to me, suggesting the specimen at least is flattened to some extent... Three-dimensional cast of Stigmaria Below another example of a three-dthree-dimensional cast, here of Sigillaria. Searching for green in the dark grey.

AcadianofNS Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks for the information guys ... This is my first time on the forum... I'm super impressed with the quick responses. That being said I have a few more pieces I will take pictures of to get your opinions. Paleoflor: I was unaware of "3d casts" ... this does seem to match. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
