Hi, At Trefil quarry, Wales, I found these. They were found very close to one another. This site was a carboniferous coral reef. If anyone can ID, or point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have 2 Pennsylvanian fossils from Mazon Creek. They have previously been identified as crenulopteris and lobatopteris lamuriana. Presumably the crenulopteris specimen is a seed fern; however, I am unsure about the lobatopteris lamuriana specimen. Presumably the lobatopteris was once labeled as a pecopteris so is it still considered to be a seed fern? Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The first image is of the lobatopteris specimen, The next image is of the crenulopteris specimen.

I found multiple pieces of this rock which each vary in size but the shape and structure is the same. There is banding and in the middle of each is a cellular structure looking material. Is this some sort of plant? I am in Mississippian strata Indiana USA

Yesterday, I spent about 30-45 minutes sitting in a pile of mud/rocks and practicing breaking apart softer rocks with a hammer and chisel (a little closer to shale--pretty easy to split into layers--but I'm not sure?) to see what I could find. This was one of the prettiest things I found! Northeast Alabama, US. Pottsville Formation. Thank you for your patience with my lack of knowledge. I'm currently waiting for a paycheck so I can purchase a book that will hopefully decrease my posts here!

This needs to be cleaned up a bit I think, but I found this cool fossil on Friday afternoon! Northeast Alabama, US. Pottsville Formation. I still don't have any good reference books (plan to order this week), but with my internet digging it looked like this could possibly be a spore cone from one of the clubmosses (like Lepidodendron sp.)? Any help/guidance is much appreciated!

Northeast Alabama. Pottsville Formation. Beautiful (and tiny) fern fossils I found a couple of days ago. I would love some help with an ID (or even someone to point me to a guide)! Photos are from my cell phone, but I plan on taking more with a better camera this week

Northeast Alabama. Pottsville Formation. This is embedded in a large boulder (with multiple other fossils) that we dug out of the ground within the past 6 months. I'm not sure yet how to remove or clean it. Not the greatest quality photo (my apologies), but I am assuming this is Lepidodendron bark?

Typhloesus wellsi Melton & Scott, 1973 Early Carboniferous Serpukhovian Heath Formation Bear Gulch Montana USA In the beginning, it used to be believed that Typhloesus were conodont animals, a group of extinct agnathan vertebrates. The conodont teeth however were actually located in the gut contents of the Typhloesus, meaning that while it wasn't a conodont, they were a part of its diet. A new paper published revealed several potential mollusk-like features of the animal. -
Hello, everyone! My name is Flown! I have a biology background--and my special interests include mycology, botany, and entomology. I mostly spend my time researching, identifying, photographing, collecting, and vouchering my fungal finds (both for the University of Alabama herbarium & for DNA sequencing). I also love mothing in the warmer months and seeking out spring ephemeral wildflowers! I only just recently began to delve into the world of fossils when my partner and I began digging the foundation and utilities for our home in Northeast Alabama. We've honestly been overwhelmed by the amount of Carboniferous/Pennsylvanian fossils, and I cannot help but want to learn more and hopefully become more knowledgeable about what I am finding. If anyone can recommend any resources, I would be thrilled! I have attached my most recent find below (what I am assuming are seed ferns?). I have zero fossil preparation skills, and I'm terrified of ruining them!
