I found this fossil while collecting rocks for a landscaping project. It was in Gasconade County Missouri along the Dry Fork Creek (if that helps at all). I washoping to go back and look for more fossils or more of this fossil in the fall when the critters go away again.

Hello everyone, I received this Carboniferous fern fossil along with many others from @Fossildude19 earlier this week. The largest one in the picture caught my eye due to the interesting shape of the pinnules, they are quite elongated and the ones lower down on the pinna are somewhat spiky at the base. I tried doing some research but was unable to find any ferns that had these structures. Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much, Misha

I have posted this pic on another thread but still would love any info about it. I have the opportunity to get this at a pretty low price. I am not experienced enough but it seems like these can be some really great dinosaur claw/horn/tusk fossils but I have no experience at all with dino fossils. If someone can help with the nautilus will help aswell if I want to ultimately purchase this lot. Sorry to have been asking a lot of IDs lately! I appreciate anything!

So, funny things happen. When my parents bought the house we were in we found this limestone plate of brachiopod imprints in the rock garden. Not only until 16 years later after I became interested in fossils, I realized our front rock section in the front of our house is the same limestone full of fossils. There a few a good pieces and one of them I opened up the layers and found a bunch of imprints. Almost all of them either look like brachiopod impressions or fossilized brachiopods...but there is this one I find here and there that intrigues me. No idea what it could be. So I also drew a sketch of it as its hard to make out. I do know that the rock is limestone and most likely Devonian.

I found this in my garden when I was digging out an invasive weed. I was keeping some interesting stones in a separate pile to add to stone edging I have around a garden bed. I saw it, and even covered in soil, it looked interesting. I removed some dirt and saw it was really lovely. At first I thought it would be porcelain. After I removed more dirt I realized that it isn’t. Both sides are truly beautiful. It looks like a mushroom to me - the detail is amazing! I don’t know anything about things like this but came across your website as I was trying to find out more about my find. Any help and advice you can give would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hey guys, I saw this listed as a ornithopod footprint. Do you guys think it’s real? Also what dinosaur could it be? Thanks!

Hi folks, Need some help with this fossil being advertised as a Tarbosaurus claw. Seller says it's from Mongolia (doesn't know formation) and that it is about 1 inch in length. Seller provided no other useful information so my apologies if this isn't very descriptive. If it is from Mongolia I would think that it would be theropod indet? Would appreciate some input on it!

So, me and my family bought a house. We are moving into it in June or July. While exploring the backyard and measuring for a garden, I scored a big fossil find. 5 LARGE pieces of petrified wood. Larger than I have ever found so far. They were partially buried in a spot where I was going to put some flowers. Legally, I can't take them until the deal closes, which we are certain will happen before we move in. As soon as the deal closes and I can get my hands on them, then I will post pictures. Apologies for keeping everyone waiting for the photos. Jared

New member from North Yorkshire with a question about a find
Fossil mark posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hey everyone. I’m fairly new to all things fossils. I go a couple times a year but always leave with ammonites and belemnite fossils. Yesterday I found a round ball with an interesting texture so I thought it’s best to take home and have a closer look. I have no idea what it is but I love it. Can anyone help me? I cracked it open and there’s something inside I just don’t know what it is. Any help would be much appreciated thanks!

So I guess the opposite of the "White Whale" thread. What fossil do you regret buying? For me it must be the Mioplosus I bought when I first started collecting fossils. It's an ugly, heavily stained example. And it was quite expensive for what it was. Whenever I look at my fossil shelf and see it, I think to myself that I should never have bought it. All part of the learning curve I guess

I have found several of these fossils over the last few months and would love some help identifying them. Most are small, less than 1 inch long and difficult for me to photograph with any real detail. But the last one I found is much larger by comparison. It's just a fragment but it's about an inch and a half long and 1/2 inch wide. They all taper from one end to the other and they all have raised bumps down one edge and a deep groove along the other edge. The flat sides are textured. They were all found in a creek in Southwest Alabama, US alongside Eocene shark, ray and sawfish teeth. Suggestions so far include silurid spine, stingray barb, fish jawbone, and a piece of Noah's Ark. I have not been able to find matching examples of any of them. Any other ideas, or pictures to confirm one of the previous suggestions? I posted some videos I shot if that helps. Not sure if it's permissible to link to them here so apologies if not... Thanks!

Figured it'd be an interesting topic. What is your fossil white whale? That one piece you'd love to add to your collection but never have--either missed out, never seen it for sale or it's just far too expensive. My two are a Baryonyx tooth (I spotted one for sale for a decent price during a spell when I wasn't collecting. I'm a fool for not buying it) and a dilophosaurus tooth. I think of the two, the Baryonyx is the more likely to obtain Please share yours I'd love to see what other members are after.

Dear Friends, My name is Elie and I am new to this field. I found some fossils during my inventories of forest plants and that interests me a lot. I count on your experience to help me discover this beautiful world. And I also hope to contribute with my fossils in this science. Best reagrds Elie

Just some of my concretion landscaping. They were all found in Middle Tennessee. I’m curious what other kinds of fossils may occur in them besides gastropods? I have found several that nature cracked open containing Gastropoda.

Hello again, This is an interesting find found at the causeway in Tampa Bay, Florida last year. Looks like calcite covered coral or a sand fused fulgurite which I'd prefer to add to my collection, lol. What do you guys think? Thanks!
