Definitely possible ( @EMP has found Cambrian fossils in Cretaceous sites) but this stone looks potomac group to me. I think we must at at least consider the possibility this could be bone, perhaps hailing from a dinosaur. @Troodon can you tell if this looks like dinosaur bone structure? “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemme see if I can find the second for this piece. These are the two for this piece. Less of a cell like structure than the other. Hard to see in thumbnails.

Yeah, found by Ray Stanford and on display at the smithsonian along with a print or two.

Is it keying to anything else, or just some material you aren't familiar with? No disrespect intended. The serious cell like structure made me think flora, but as a whole......

GeschWhat Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 You could try scraping the surface of a tiny area with an X-acto blade, and then take another micro photo to see if the cell structure is more recognizable.

I agree, it's possible, I've found some more worm burrows from the Antietam Sandstone and a brachiopod from the Hamilton Group at the Cretaceous sites, but this one looks like Potomac Group rock. Maybe it's part of a Cycadeioidea sp.? Those are a common fossil from the unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but photos can be entertaining. I am leaning towards cycadea on gp because of the other larger specimens I have. Let me post these for reference.
