Hi Sydney, I can’t discern overall shape-  is this seed broadly triangular with 2 flatter and one more curved side and with a raised circular collar at hilum? If so have you checked Convolvulus sp?
What is the site and time period?
Good luck!

Hello all,

I'm working on an assemblage from southwestern Wisconsin and I'm having trouble identifying this seed. If anyone has any guesses, I'd be grateful for the help! The scale is in mm.

Best,
