bdevey Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Thanks for looking.... I have put this piece in the junk pile twice, But I keep pulling it out. Found in SW Oregon, Western Cascades, Miocene, Little Buttes Volcanics. Measures about 30mm by 25mm, Here is a link to the site it was found, in fossil hunting trips. The piece was already split open on the ground and I did not look for other pieces, Because it looked like a stain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) My guess is that's a piece of plant matter, maybe a leaf, somewhat decayed, or a bit of wood/bark. Just a guess, mind you! Edited October 26, 2021 by Wrangellian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 It seems like most of the sites here in the West with that kind of rock are plant sites (sometimes including insects and fish)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
