Holocene micro fish parts

Wondering if these tiny fish fragments can be identified? These are about the size of a grain of sand about 8-10,000 years old ancestral Lake michigan.

May need to get a microscope in order to get better focus on your pictures. Unfortunately it's very hard to get shots of very small fossils.

Any chance these can be reworked from the Paleozoic? The second one looks like a high-spired gastropod and the last looks like part of a conodont element.

Interesting that you mentioned this as this is what I had thought initially but wanted to get some second opinions. It is indeed possible as I've found some Devonian palynomorphs at a nearby locality.

Given the colour of the conodont element(I think I'd have to agree with Al Dente) it wasn't buried to any great depth.

(Low degree of metamorphism)

So wat colour am I seeing?

Pale yellowish?

Here's an image taken at higher magnification 400x light amber color.20230416_084412.thumb.jpg.dec30d5d6fcd9b5a7c80f01857626531.jpg
