Do you have any idea what this item is? 102_7024.jpg It has an interesting arthropod-ish look to it. Regards, Yes Tim, thank you!

Fossildude19 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'd say Euproops is a fairly close match. Have you found any of these before, Roman?

Missourian Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thank you Missourian! No unfortunately I haven't the counterpart... Interesting idea about HEAD Yours is pretty flattened, but you may still be able to trace out the structures in the cephalon. Also, it's possible more could turn up on some of your other pieces. Check for wrinkly things. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourian Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Also, keep an eye out for these guys: Just one millipede showed up in a profusion of plant material. I'm sure I could easily dismiss it as a poorly preserved, partial seed cone. Edited March 2, 2013 by Missourian Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
