JBkansas Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) I acquired a ?juvenile gomphothere jaw supposedly from a coal mine in Poland. I wondered if anyone would be able to identify the associated fossils in the coal deposits. I assume they won't be identifiable due to the incompleteness and lack of site information but I hope to be surprised. There's numerous subcentimeter gastropod shells and there's several linear leaf impressions on the back.

connorp Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 This looks like a horsetail. The gastropods appear to be Planorbis or similar. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense with the lignite coal being compressed freshwater marsh. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
