Are these fossils? And if so, what of? Found under Seacliff Bridge in New South Wales
spagbutcher posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone! I'm new to fossil hunting and I found a few interesting rocks underneath Sea Cliff Bridge near Wollongong in Australia. There was a lot of coal in the area for context. I will attach some photos of the rocks I found, I'm particularly interested in the small white (quartz??) lines intersecting the black part of the stone. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks -
Dear Community, I need big help for small tooth that i found in North-east Queensland, Australia. I suspect it to be a shark tooth, but a missing root makes the search much harder.. I'll be using metric sizes, or specifically mm= millimeter Here the hard facts I can give: -ca 6mm long and 4,5mm wide -triangular shape, no serrations -no cusplets (maybe broken off?) Ps: sorry if I am spamming pictures, wasn't sure what lighting would be best... Thanks in advance for all the knowledge sharers and gatherers out there!

Below are some of the slabs/slices/limb casts of petrified wood from my collection. I'll post more pieces in latter replies. I especially like very colorful pieces and unusual pieces like Teredo bored pieces or pieces with fungus. I have hundreds of close-up pictures. If you would like to see close-up pictures of a particular piece, reply to this post with the number/numbers. 1 Petrified Wood botryoidal agate golden calcite insect borings ostracods Eocene 50 MYA Green River Fm Blue Forest along Lake Gosiute Sweetwater County Wyoming 1.2 lbs 8.25 x6x.38 inches

Hi all, recently i have come across this website. I have always been interested in finding fossils, but I'm not sure where to start. I am mostly interested in finding fossilized shark teeth, and was wondering if anyone would know of any good locations I could visit around Melbourne. Thank you for the help, Lyndon

Fossil Hunting Holiday at Beaumaris, Australia - Dec 2018
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
As the year comes to a close i decided to do a bit more collecting at one of my favourite Australian sites: Beaumaris near Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Once again i travelled down and stayed at a motel near the beach for three days (27/12/18 through to 29/12/18). This trip is a sequel to the previous two trips i have made here which are also posted on the forum: Jan 2016 trip: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/61248-fossil-hunting-holiday-in-victoria-australia-dec-2015-jan-2016/ Feb 2017 trip: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/71996-fossil-hunting-h -
A rangeomorph holdfast trace fossil from the Ediacara formation, Rawnsley quartzite of the Flinders Range, South Australia. This specimen is Medusina mawsoni, so called because it was until recently thought to be a jellyfish, but is now believed to be the attachment point of a fractal rangeomorph as Charniodiscus is the point of anchorage for Charnia sp. This one may have been the holdfast point for some species of Rangea. The diameter of the outer circle is 1.5 cm and the fossil is estimated to be 555 million years old.

Any fossil hunting sites in Newcastle, Australia?
fossilturtle posted a topic in Australia - New Zealand
Hi friends! Just a beginner/amateur fossil hunter(?)/collector(?) (lol) here and I thought I would ask to see if anyone knows about any cool places around Newcastle - NSW - that I can go fossil hunting? Particulary one that is open to the public (perhaps a beach, hiking trail, etc) and that does not require me to have to call anyone or ask for permission! (and also that I am legally allowed to take the fossils I find hehe) I tried looking on this forum to see if there was any posts about fossil places in Newcastle but I thought I would just ask anyway! -
Hello, Here are a few microscopic images of Yowah opal. I wonder if this spider-looking thing is a fossil or a mineral, and also what do you think about other things in this opal

Mud-lobster fossil with soft tissues preserved. Can I please ask some questions?
MHAN posted a topic in Fossil ID
Here is my small collection of fossil mud-lobster. I know they are very very common but still find they are fascinating to look at. They are all from Gunn point , Northern Territory (Australia). From the last photo, I can see some soft tissues exposed and preserved. Can I please ask, under what circumstances, the soft tissues can be preserved? Because I am not sure of its age (probably 17000??), I don’t know if they are fossil or just sub fossil? Thanks in advance ️- 6 replies

I found this shell fossil 6 or so years ago on the fossil walk in Ulladulla, NSW, Australia. What I find strange about it is that it's a common species at this site, only it's deposited in a rock from after the species inhabited the area. The fossil is deposited in a stone transported to the area when glaciers moved though and, to the best of my knowledge, the fossils in Ulladulla are all from far before the glaciers arrived. Does anyone have any ideas how this fossil came to be here? Thanks
