  1. Samurai

    Metacoceras sp.

    From the album: Missouri Ammonoids, Nautiloids and Gastropods

    Found this beautiful specimen the other day while searching in the rock pile attributed to the Iola Formation. More specifically, this one was most likely found in the Paola limestone member.

    Ice age TOOTH ID

    Hello all, Can someone please tell me what animal this tooth belonged to? 4 centimeters - around 1.6 inches Found on the beach: Zandmotor, The Netherlands. Thank you!
  3. Today, I stopped by the DuPage County Fairgrounds fairgrounds for the 2024 ESCONI (Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois) Show. The show runs today and tomorrow and I have to say, it was really busy. The show is great for anyone interested in rocks, minerals or fossils. There were a number of dealers present as well as other things that are managed by ESCONI, such as Silent Auctions, Live Auctions, Kids Corner, Book sales, Demonstrations, etc. Book sales- Kids Corner Silent Auctions- Live Auctions- Demonstrations/ Give always- Displays-
  4. From the album: Missouri Ammonoids, Nautiloids and Gastropods

    Found this one a long time ago and never posted it here, not sure what it belongs to but Pharkidontis has been found in nodules, any more specific IDs are welcome! Due to being contained in a phosphatic nodule, I believe the blue-grey hue comes from that as well. I have some conulariids of a similar hue so I assume it's a quirk of the fossilization process. I also have some other bellerophons of normal colorization in the same nodules. Found in a Muncie Creek Phosphatic Nodule. Here is the other half with some fish remains: The lower bone resembles braincase material, which can further support the idea this blue hue is caused by the fossilization/phosphate replacement process.
  5. If one assumes that the Ediacaran lasted from 635 MYA until 538.8 MYA then I have a number of ediacaran fossils that have little to no identification. Any comments or suggestions from Forum members would be greatly appreciated. The first image is the front of an ediacaran fossil from Guizho, China. This specimen is constructed of a relatively fragile high sand content shale. Most notable is the spaghetti like fossil that could be compressed fronds, tubes or perhaps even some type of mold; I have seen nothing like it on the internet. The top of this image depicts a crescent moon shaped fossil and the portion of the lower left may or may not reflect abrasion. The second image is of the back of the Guizhou specimen depicted in image 1. The top of this image depicts another more detailed crescent moon shaped fossil illustrating fine "hairs" on the periphery. There are small less featured fossils in the lower portion of this image. It is possible that the crescent shaped fossils are among the petalonamae. Images 3, 4 and 5 are closeups of the fossils depicted in images 1 and 2. Image number 6 is of Nemiana simplex fossils from the ediacaran in Mulgilw, Ukraine. When I first acquired this specimen it was thought to be a jellyfish attached to the sediment. More recently it has been proposed that it is the result of algae. Any further information would be appreciated. Image 7 is of Prota-medusae fossils from 550 MYA that were found in Gadsden, Alabama. I was pleased to see that such soft bodied creatures were preserved in the fossil record. Comments, suggestions, and corrections are welcome.
  6. I have decided to start a thread showing pieces from my collection. I usually post in the "mailbox score" thread, but have found that my additions get lost in the volume of postings in the thread. So my collection will be in my own thread.
  7. Hello! I came into a ton of fossils well documented from the 70s 80s and 90s. I haven't gotten through half of the boxes. It's pretty incredible!

    Hey guys! I found these black beauties and am trying to identify them. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

    A Fossil A Day.....

    A Fossil A Day....keeps the blues away! Or something like that... I started an Instragram account (jamielynnfossilquest) and am posting a fossil a day, so I figured I should do that on here, to REAL fossil enthusiasts! I'm a few days behind, so I will start out with a few more than one a day but then it will settle down to One Fossil (but I will admit, I'll probably miss a few days, but I'll double up or whatever.) I'll start with Texas Pennsylvanian era, but will branch out to other locations and time periods, so expect a little of everything! So enjoy A Fossil A Day! Texas Pennsylvanian Fossils: Nautiloid Agathiceras ciscoense Brachiopod Neochonetes acanthophorus Trilobite Ditomopyge sp. Gastropod Straparollus sp. Bivalve Astartella vera Cephalopod Brachycycloceras sp, Brachiopod Cleiothyridina orbicularis

    South Carolina

    Hi all. I’m 27 and have been hunting for 6 months. I live in Ladson so i collect a lot in the Charleston area, but I’m from Aiken SC and that’s where my current passion is. Would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about the Aiken area or the formations therein, specifically the dry branch formation. Looking forward to great discussions, happy to be here!
  11. So I got out of work early yesterday and headed off in hopes to find a few trilobites. I started off by finding a flexicalymene, and another. Then it happened! I found a fraction of an isotelus! I was stoked and ready to head home! On my way back to my vehicle I figured that I would look for more. I stopped and stared up the slope and out of the cornet of my eye I spot it staring out towards me! I quickly and carefully remove it from the ground, which made me even more stoked! Here are a few photos!

    Looking for any information

    Trying to find out any information. I inherited 2 Fossils that were my deceased ex-husband. I don't know anything about them..they are made of rock.i know nothing about Fossils. How old is it..yes that is the whole fossil..I think the tail is curled up on the back?
  13. What layer are the ammonites in, the yellow stuff? And in that Km? I went once and covered roughly the parts marked on your map here in red. I found a lot of the gastropod stuff but not the ammonites.
  14. Looking for a well know site, believe it's a road cut, in Maysville KY. The site cuts through several formations of the Cincinnatian. From bottom to top, it exposes the Kope, Fairview and Bellevue Formations. Any idea where this is exactly (I.e road intersection, etc?)

    Coprolite

    Wanting to see if this is a Coprolite thank you. It is about two inches long and found in Arizona
  16. Hello 👋 I am so happy to have found this forum! I have already gleaned some excellent I formation and look forward to more. I am an avid researcher. If my interest in something, in ANYTHING is piqued, I have to KNOW all there is to know about that particular subject. A blessing and a curse. My curiosity is rarely, if ever, fully satisfied. I have been told by many, many experts that several of the things I have been finding recently are absolutely NOT in Southeast Kentucky amd I MUST be mistaken. Ummm... I live in Southeast Kentucky and most (99%) of what I have found in the past several months has been from an area within 10 miles of my home. So, what am I missing? Only so much can be explained through the occasional drop or glacial deposits. Just in the past 24 hours I have found over 30 small geodes! All between 1 inch and 4 inches in diameter. All within 30 yards of each other. NOT in or near water. Also found were bits of agate, small agate nodules, crinoids, crinoid crusted geodes, loads of Rugose (horn) coral, etc...
  17. Hello this is going to be a topic where I share my recent buys, finds, and collection. Hope you enjoy! -Daniel I'll start it off with my most recent purchase of Gompothere teeth. - Sinomastodon sp. -Gansu, China -Miocene

    Need help IDing some fossils/imprints

    I was given these many years ago by a relative so i unfortunately dont have the location they were found but there is a good chance it was in Australia. I'm hoping someone can help me ID just what is i them. I've put my thoughts for each here under the image names. Fossil 1: Some sort of brachiopod? Fossil Imprints 2: I know its leaves so im just wondering if anyone knows what species they came from? Fossil 3: Possibly some sort of shell? Fossil 4: Incredibly light weight and almost feels chalky. Never been sure whether the fossil in the stone is a plant like some sort of fern or fishbones? Fossil Imprint 5: Obviously a shell. Imprint from an Ammonite or some other shelled creature? Fossil Imprints 6: This is in a big chunk of rock that also features leaf imprints. Same type of stome as Fossil Imprints 2 and from the same location I'd assume. Is this fish skin or something else?

    Morocco 2023 Geology Trip

    I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Morocco last year in May and tour the wonderful geology of the country. This will be a very short recap of the experience because frankly there are just too many things to share. For starters, the culture is fantastic. Morocco consists primarily of the Berber people and they are some of the friendliest people I've encountered. Very welcoming and ready to share some tea with you. Tea is by far the most common thing you will drink in country. I'm quite certain there were days that I had tea at least 8 separate times, and the tea was fantastic. If you've never had Moroccan tea then you are missing out (the mint tea in particular is wonderful). The cuisine is beyond amazing, and there honestly wasn't anything in country that I didn't like. Trying to replicate some of the foods has been a challenge (my tagine is getting close), but I suppose that just means I'll need to return some day. The country is also very safe throughout. As a solo female traveler, I felt comfortable at all times and was not concerned. However you should know that few people speak English. The most common languages people know are Arabic, French, and Berber, so there was some language barrier but as with most things, it was doable. My arrival to Morocco began in Marrakech where I was met by my guide who drove me out of the city, through the Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass at 2200m in elevation. Eventually we made our way to Tamdahkte and I stayed at a wonderful riad that was (as I would come to find out) quite open air just as most riads and buildings are in Morocco. On the way we stopped at a salt mine and walked through.

    Rock found near Cooperstown NY

    Not sure what I have here. Any ideas?
  24. I'm back with Part-2. I am adding the fossil specimens that weren't included in the last post. I will try my best to arrange all the specimens in the order of their origin just to make this post a little interesting. Feel free to point out if I make any mistakes. Let's start with Cambrian.. Ordovician period Silurian Period Devonian period Mississippian Period Pennsylvanian Period Well I have hit the post picture limit again. So I will continue in the comments of this post.
