Fossildude19 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This actually looks like a section of fish scales, to me. Do you know what plants are found there normally? 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

I was wondering if it might be! The Marl Slate is famous for its fish of course but plants are common, many types but commonest is Ullmania sps. Here's a list from Middridge (an extant SSSI site), this paper:https://pygs.lyellcollection.org/content/42/3/439 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
