A few things from the Silurian (Llandovery) Cotton Formation near Forbes, NSW Australia. Most of these specimens are currently undescribed, but a paper will be released on them soon. One of my strophomenid brachiopods from the site will be in the paper, so I'll post it when it comes out, since they're a pain to photograph. The rare Aulacopleura pogsoni ....

Was digging around in some boxes and found this specimen... it has a decent number of species on it! Although its nothing compared to another plate found at the site by some friends. We were going to split it but decided not to. Ended up having a couple hundred individual graptolites inside... but anyway! Sorry about the horrible pic as per usual. Early Ordovician (Bendigonian Stage) Bendigonian Formation, near Bendigo, VIC Australia.

Hello everyone! I have been sorting through my collection and have some bivalve fossils to trade. These 5 million year old oysters come from a roadcutting near Shell Hill, in South Australia. The locality is a large oyster bed with 99% of the fossils being from oysters. The locality is believed to be the only one of its kind above the surface in the Southern Hemisphere. There is more shells than what is seen in the photo. In return I would like some other bivalves or shells from your local area. (I am especially looking for shells from European or Asian countries US states other than Maryland and Florida but am happy to receive anything ) Countries I am especially interested in: Germany Spain Portugal Canada If you are interested, just chuck me a PM. Thanks, Daniel

Pleistocene potoroo jaw fragment. Any information known?
FrostbyteFossils posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello guys. I recently bought this potoroo jaw fragment. It came from naracoorte with permission from the owners at the time . I was just wondering what age it would most likely roughly be and what did potoroos look like at the time. I believe it would be from the pleistocene period, correct? Length of fossil is roughly 1.7cm

Hello, I was strolling my local beach this morning & was pleasantly surprised to see this little guy sitting at the shoreline. I live in Chelsea, Melbourne, Victoria. Was wondering what kind of shark it’s from, and roughly how old the fossil may be? Thank you in advance!

Gday all, was wondering if this was an egg or a rock? I found it on a beach in Australia near the border of south Australia and Victoria when I was a kid, I cut it in half and just forgot about it for around 20 years!

Hello, Last weekend I went back to Fossil Beach with my dad. Fossil Beach is located in Mornington, Victoria, which is approx 70km south of Melbourne. The location is part of the Fyansford Formation which is middle Miocene (10-15 miilion years old). I hadn't been here for a couple of months and was actually planning to go to another location in Bendigo (central Victoria), but we slept in and went here as a "fall back" location Anyway, what a day! There had been a lot of quite heavy rain in the previous weeks and there were so many fossils that had washed out of the exposed clay and onto the beach ...we were just picking them up among the rocks. It was quite warm inland, but at the beach the ocean was covered in thick fog which dropped the temperature right down ...luckily no wind. There were a couple of other group there also. Regards, Daniel Micantapex rhomboidalis Conus sp Gastropods ?? Left: Gastropod ?? Middle: Cowries ....found 5 cowries in a cluster when i lifted a lump of clay. Right: Have never seen these before at Fossil Beach.....any suggestions?? Scaphopods Various bivalves. The far right, bottom row, was a fully intact one with both top and bottom halves joined!! Top Row: Biplex maccoyi Middle Row: ?? Bottom Row: Various corals Columbarium sp.

Hi, I am from Canberra in Australia and am a total newbie to fossil fossicking. I recently found out i have some fossil fields near where i live so thought I'd start a new hobby. Good luck with your fossicking. Jed

Is this a stem shaped bryozoan?
-
Each organism is 5mm in diameter. What is this small cluster?

This specimen was found amongst shells and bryozoans. I am assuming crinoid but my knowledge on them isnt that good. What are the small little worm looking things next to the stem?

If you go to the beaches around Newcastle, Australia, expect to find many glossopteris fossils!
FrostbyteFossils posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
These are some fossil glossopteris leaves from different beaches around the Newcastle area. The rocks they are found in tend to be very hard to break, but yield lovely fossils. Good luck!

Can you find shark teeth on the east coast of australia?
FrostbyteFossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Is there anywhere to find shark teeth(or other fossils) on the east coast beaches of NSW, Australia? -
Hi Everyone, Found some fossils of what appear to be coral but would just like to get some clarification. Both pieces where found on the Murrumbidgee river near Wee Jasper, NSW. The first specimen has a piece of what I'm assuming is Horn coral but there is another impression next to it that looks like it might be something as well. It is round, 30mm in diameter and textured like a sponge. The second, I'm not really sure, but it may be coral? There are two roughly textured patterns, round, one bigger than the other. First one (smaller) is 35mm radius and second is 65mm radius Any help would be appreciated. Thanks very much, Jed

These are some shells found from a town near Mulbring, NSW. If you go fossil hunting these are what to expect, along with literal bucket loads of bryozoans. Good luck Also if anyone can further identify, go ahead.

Hello i found and removed this small fossil from the rocks in Newcastle, NSW Australia. Is it possibly a gastropod?

Leaf found in NSW with other Glossopteris leaves. Is this something else?
FrostbyteFossils posted a topic in Fossil ID
This leaf was found in the same location as glossopteris leaves. Is this anything different?

Hi all, Been lurking around for a while, and an on-again off-again collector (if only shipping weren't so expensive for us Antipodeans!), but now with a bit more time, trying to get more into palaeontology, there's so much to learn about things that have long since passed!

These inclusions are in Broome WA Australia sandstone possibly just higher than the famous dino-foot prints. The shape, relative thickness of wall and lumen, the layout and spacing on the platform, and some of the detail on them, all remind me of sponges. Can anyone confirm. If so there is about an acre of them! The longer ones all lie prone or are aligned in the same direction. A fossil sponge garden or cruel geological hoax?

Hi Folks, A couple of weeks ago we went on a 5 day trip around NSW to find a few different fossils which I'll post another day, but here are some of our best finds from near Cowra, NSW Australia. So in a nutshell, there's a quarry near Cowra that was quarried to be used as road base in the area, and thats how these specimens were found. You can find blocks of the stuff on the side of the road if you're lucky. Since you can't get into the quarry nowadays because the owner has pretty much lost the plot this is the only way to collect material. #1 Cowralepis mclachlani. This is one of a few species of fish at the site and is by far the most common. We have never found any other species there. Continued...

What are these shell looking things? I really have no idea however if it helps they were found alongside some bryozoans.
