Fossildude19 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Cropped and brightened: The lack of venation leads me to a Plant for ID. Not sure if it is Calamites, but definitely plant, in my opinion.

Rockwood Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Calamites sounds right to me. Likely where a large branch joined the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Not an insect wing. I agree this is Calamites. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought this to be an external mold. After further consideration I believe this is instead a pith cast. The taper would be quite normal near most any node.
