I say, Mostly all rocks use to be something unless you are right onto of some geological formation. I took a picture under a electronic microscope you can clearly make out the synapse. Only something that has a biological brain will have this

I was out hunting the Peace River yesterday, and then went to my local fossil club meeting, last of the season doing a swap & sell, show and tell session. There were some impressive finds this season. I did not get a lot of photos but the TFF member sitting at my table had these: Matched pair of Mastodon 8 humpers. That's a great find. I always sign up for the Club Raffle, which has a lot of items donated by club members and I won. Went to the fossil table and selected this ziplock bag of coral fragments: I recognize that Rose Coral (Manicina areolata) and w

Mammal Brain Endocasts from the White River Badlands of South Dakota
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I was looking at some of my collection yesterday and dextrose take pictures of my better mammal brain endocasts from the White River Badlands of South Dakota. The first piece is exposed on a partial skull of an Oreodont. This next piece is my favorite and I believe it is from an Oreodont. These other pieces I can only guess, but I would also think Oreodont. This small one appears to be from a rabbit. This last one was ID’d as coming- 6 replies

I found this in my Seattle area yard, near the dead stump of a small maple. After washing and bleaching the septums appear filled with sand and shell bits. There is also something growing throughout it like a veinous system—likely plant? It is heavy. There are striated and mineralized layers. There is a ventricle feature and a faceted stem—it’s disturbingly brain-like. I feel honored to have finally guessed my way through your captcha (respect!)~~hoping someone can identify this oddity. Best guesses so far are coral or fungus, but I’ve not found any examples sporting this stem canal...

Hello, I saw this online. Just curious if it actually is what the label states: Oreodont Braincast / Badlands of South Dakota / Oligocene Period. Thank you for any and all help.

Cheboygan Michigan they look like brains, I find them from baseball to basketball sizes. I broke one up with a sledge hammer, the center gets more dense. The out side seems to house shells?

From the album: Dinosaurs & flying reptiles
Another view showing an area of what I do not know. I'm guessing it involves nerve fibers/channels. -
From the album: Dinosaurs & flying reptiles
Another view showing more channels/cross sections of blood flow(the small solid dark gray areas), and nerve channels. I'm not entirely sure what the large dark areas are, although I believe it to be related to blood flow as well. -

2 pieces of a triceratops skull with brain case impression. Blood vessels, veins, and arteries visible, as well as nerve channels. I have to contact in order to get the fossil information again. -

On one of our first trips of the year, I found this partial skull. It was the proverbial case of "low hanging fruit" and it was just laying on the bottom in a pothole on the limestone bed, covered by about 6 inches of water. The sun lit up and it practically yelled out to be picked up. The cranium was mostly intact, but the lower jaw and all of the dentition was missing. It was in one piece, but it was fragile and it split into two equal halves on the bumpy ride home in the truck. This was a mixed blessing, because it revealed what was previously unseen: the brain impression on the inside of t

Researchers Have Found The First Ever Fossilized Dinosaur Brain
tmaier posted a topic in Fossil News
Brains! Brains! BRAINS! Fossiled tissue, not just a cast. From the article... "According to the researchers, the reason this particular piece of brain tissue has been so well-preserved is that the dinosaur's brain was essentially 'pickled' in a highly acidic and low-oxygen body of water - similar to a bog or swamp - shortly after its death. This allowed the soft tissues to become mineralised before they decayed away completely, so that they could be preserved." Just in time for Halloween! http://phys.org/news/2016-10-fossilized-dinosaur-brain-tissue.html "The structure of the fo -
Found this online. The seller claims it's an oreodont brain cast (with one end broken off). Was collected from White River Formation, South Dakota. It does to similar to an endocast.
