@cameron-muskelly take a look at this!!
-
Wow! Now that is quite interesting! The detail of it is spectacular!
-
almost looks like scale tree bark, it also looks like the dark shale of the Carboniferous!
-
@kyle-griffiths I have a chunk of tree stump from the Jurassic (? I have to check macrostrat) that has this pattern to it. I’ll try to upload it later today. would love if you could help narrow it down.
-
@cameron-muskelly anything more specific you can add to id? I’ll update all the info I can
-
U-Dig is part of the Wheeler Formation which is Middle Cambrian. No fish and no trees. I will see what I can find online that resembles this fossil. I am not too good with sponges so I’ll “dig” to see what I can find for you.
-
@cameron-muskelly thanks! I only say sponge as there was a similar fossil at the pay station that they said was a sponge. Pintrest (!) suggests Margaretia dorus which looking at other more reliable sources seems correct. If someone with a more trained eye agrees I’ll update. I’m cleaning up images of the wood I have with a similar texture,…[Read more]

I can’t get the specimen entry to post to the group. All the info I have on this is in the link. Eocene from Utah, plant (seed?) of some sort. Would love an ID to update more fully.-
Probably some kind of plant seeds.

@mackenzie-smith might be able to help here!

@samantha-ocon and @corinne-daycross I’m not quite sure. The dark reniform object may be a seed attached to an axis or that could be the wing of a fruit. It’s angiosperm, but other than that I can’t say. One of the challenges is that there isn’t a complete treatment of GRF flora or fruit, just isolated publications here and there on one or a…[Read more]

@samantha-ocon and @corinne-daycross oh wait! I’m looking at it incorrectly! I think this is the floral bract of a Hydrangea! I see some venation of the bract and in the center (bottom of the bract) is where the flower would be. Order Cornales, Family Hydrangeaceae, Genus Hydrangea. I’m not putting a specific epithet on it because I don’t think we…[Read more]

@mackenzie-smith thanks! if you click on the specimen link there are more pictures, the other side is a little lighter colored but shows some different details (I think). will update taxa when I get to a real computer, currently out collecting.

Hi @corinne-daycross I have an ID now. This is a Hydrangea (genus Hydrangea) bract. Order Cornales, Family Hydrangeaceae. Would you mind updating the information please? Thanks! Nice find, I didn’t know of it from GRF but it is in Clarno (OR) and Chuckanut (WA) and the Miocene of the Latah (ID). It is not Florissantia, a similar flora structure)…[Read more]
