Shamalama Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Some more items from the Llwellyn formation at St. Clair that I'm trying to pin the ID down on. I have found oodles of these in some layers at St. Clair and the rounded shape makes me think they are Cordaicarpus seeds. However, there is not enough detail for me to be sure. Someone also suggested then could be fish scales but they have no blue tint (which is from the phosphates found in bones and scales) nor ornamentation. Thoughts? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I don't think it is a scale, Dave. No concentric rings are visible, which fish Carboniferous scales usually have. Also, the carbonaceous look to if leads me to plant matter. Wait for some more opinions, though.

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I would go with a seed of some type. Cordaicarpus seems a good start. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
