Hi there... The piece on top I collected from the Fruitland Shale today. The piece on bottom is from the Albuquerque Natural History Museum. I am trying to identify the conifer shoot towards the top of both photos which almost sort of resembles a fish vertebra. Any ideas as to what species or family it could be? Looks like Cupressaceae /Taxodiaceae or Araucariaceae.
