More seeds?

[CrustaceousBaki]

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of going on an ESCONI trip to a giant shale pile in Danville, IL in search of Pennsylvanian fossils. I was fortunate enough to find a beautiful Trigonocarpus seed. (I included it for comparison to specimen 3).

 

 

 

Second specimen seems to be another seed I can’t quite identify. After some research, I’ve come up with basically nothing. It’s textured, and has the shape of a teardrop. (Below)

 

 

 

As for number 3, I actually just noticed it today while going through some of my finds. I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking, but it looks kinda similar to my Trigonocarpus seed, but with more ribs. I was thinking possibly Holcospermum because of how ribbed it is?  Unfortunately it’s a little hard to see as not much of it is exposed. Could just be nothing, but I thought it looked peculiar.

If anyone needs more pictures, let me know.

The second specimen is really interesting but I really just don't know. My initial thought when I saw it in person was some kind of pollen organ but that's just a gut reaction. Any chance of exposing it more? Maybe @fiddlehead could provide some insight.

Hard to say, I’m just worried I might ruin it on accident if I were to work on it. Certainly a mystery though and I’m hoping I can id it soon.
