The veining and lack of emargination makes me think it might be flower bract or petal.

Perhaps @HoJoon could help, though I believe he is busy with college now. It is a beautiful petal!

It's beautiful for sure. 

Are there identified leaves of flowering plants from the area? 

Then we could look at their petals for a match.

A beaut! You should be proud! :yay-smiley-1:

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
