Cincy Fossil Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Here's another one from Cincinnati, do you think this is plant matter? Possibly a leaf? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleoflor Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Is the structure convex/concave or flat? Not like any plant fossil I have seen before. Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like a fish scale to me, ... but I wouldn't rule out a bivalve or brachiopod piece. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

paleoflor Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The matrix of this specimen looks similar to that of the specimen you show in this thread. Do both come from the same locality? The other piece would then suggest a marine environment. 1 Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I could be wrong, but can it be a regenerated brachiopod valve after injury?

RJB Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Looks like fish scale? Not sure. My question is: what are all the little white marks on the fossil? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
