I found this today while going through my collection of fossils from Kemmerer, WY. I don’t remember finding it, so it must have broken off another rock revealing this.

 

It looks like an insect wing. Then, I looked at it under my microscope, and took these pictures.

 

I need a second opinion. Is this an insect wing of some kind or just a piece of a fish scale?

 

Its about 3mm long, by the way.
