I am trying to identify fossils in these thin sections of Silurian sedimentary rocks from Lithuania. Any ideas? I am still learning and lacking so much in experience… 🥺
I think I got the Crinoids right and some Bryozoas, but that’s it.
.
Also, next to these there are some nice cathodoluminescence photos of the same thin sections 🤩 You can see growth zones in them!
