PetrolPete Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I found these to items in the cretaceous age Hell Creek formation near Glendive, MT a couple of months ago, and I was hoping someone might have a clue as to what they could be, fossil or otherwise. No idea on the first one odd leaf impression? Thank you, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 second one looks a bit like cliona ridden shell. Could the red color of the material be from weathering? Forget my first statement if this isn't a marine deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFOOLEY Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 They look like plant material. I have seen similar specimens here in NM...a bunch of organic debris mashed together. The first may be bark of some sort and second might be palm. "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.
