Kman100 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hey everyone. These are from the Oligocene of Oregon, bridge creek formation. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! 1. -kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl O'Cles Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) The top one looks like a string of fish verts to me Edited July 15, 2014 by Carl O'Cles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kman100 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 That seems like a likely idea. Thanks! -kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I thought fish verts too, but the second one looks like plant material. So i was thinking the first one may be just another plant of some kind. But im not familiar with this formation. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kman100 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) The formation mostly yields plants, but fish have been found. Edited July 16, 2014 by Kman100 -kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prem Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 #1 looks like some sort of plant rhizome with lots of little rootlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 #1 looks like some sort of plant rhizome with lots of little rootlets. Or a lycopodium, maybe?

I think I will email the Oregon Paleo Lands Center, which is partially affiliated with the site these are from. -kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
