Catalog Number: CG-0003
The clam Palaeoneilo is easy to spot on this specimen of shale. But, what I assumed was Lepidophylloides under the Microscope really sold me on adding this to my formal collection.
Is it a leaf or a spine?
However, after some further discussion with more seasoned fossil experts, the Lepidophylloides may actually be fish spines. Examples of fish spines I found online aligned closer with my sample.
Clearly you can see the small twig like structure in three dimensions at this view. This may not be plant material but actually from a fish.
