Paolo997 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hi Forum, i'd like to post to you this specimen i found in Omhden (DE). It seems to me like fish scales, but because i'm a complete beginner i'd love to receive your opinion Sorry for low quality photos, i have tried different ligths. i'll do my best with better camera if you need. Total length 7cm, width 4cm Thanks a lot Paolo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Absolutely fish scales, and what appears to be a gill cover (Operculum) of a fish at the bottom of the piece. Very nice finds.

Randyw Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I agree. It looks like fish. It also looks like it could be prepped out further. At least The marked piece is overlaying the fossil. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I also think there is a good piece of a fish in there. May not be easy to prep without the correct tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
