dutchdino42 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Found this small piece in Solnhofen. First thought it was just a fish bone but after prepping I don't know anymore. It has some structure on it that I have not seen before on fish bone although the material looks like fish bone. It is rather thin, just about 1 mm thick.

oilshale Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 not 100%, but pretty sure - could be the praeoperculum (Pop) of a Caturidae (Amblysemius pachyurus) 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).
