Nadia Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 This is the same rock, that I found what looks to be a fossilized insect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I'm gonna say this looks fishy as well...maybe another scale or some other fragment? How large is this one? Regards, Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I agree, ... definitely fish material. Could be a scale. Could be an operculum, also. Size would help.

Nadia Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 I’ll have to measure and post size tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hey Chris the scale is only about a 1/2'' in diameter...tiny, but there. lol "D.N.Fossilman" suggested possibly Herring or Anchovy.... a "clupeid scale". So many brainiacs on this forum...blowing my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
