Hello everyone! I'm a young fossil enthusiast from Ontario, Canada. I've been interested in joining this forum for a few weeks now and finally decided to join yesterday. I am in awe of the sheer knowledge and resources on here, and I can tell I'm going to be spending a lot of time here in the future! I can't say I know the most about fossils and prehistory, but I hope I can eventually contribute in some way! Have a great day!

I have had this hunk of rock from Manitoulin Island for quite some time now, but I have never attempted to really clean it before. Does anyone have any tips for cleaning the fossils, but leaving them in the rock? I would just like to be able to analyze them more closely. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Like the title says, I collected this when I was a kid in Woodstock Ontario. Not sure what I'm looking at exactly. I'm thinking the bigger thing is horn coral of some kind?

Rochester formation rock with knobby form, could it be anything?
JUAN EMMANUEL posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello guys, I was out fossil hunting at the Niagara Escarpment of Hamilton, Ontario today and I came across this odd piece of Rochester formation shale (Clinton Group) with a knobby object on it. Could it be anything underneath all that shale or is it just my wishful thinking?? It also got some calcitic bits on the side too.

There are so many brachiopods that look alike, it's hard to identify them. Is this Dalmanella sp ? I found it in the Nicolet River formation (Late Ordovician) each one is 1/2 inch

Spotted this today at an antique market. Wondering if there is any chance it is real.

Hi everyone! I am from the prairies and grew up really close to a location where sea creatures where found and even convinced my family to go to drum heller for a summer vacation! My sisters where not impressed but for me it started the life long love of dinosaurs! After growing up a little I realized how competitive a paleontology career was going to be so I shifted my focus to the offshore oil and gas industry. I just take my dinosaurs in liquid form now! It was only in the last few years that I started to collect specimens from shows and personal finds. I am really looking forward to meeting more people from around the world who share my interests and who knows, maybe wouldn't mind a Canuck digging in their back yard

My eagle-eyed mother found this in Saskatchewan Canada over 40 years ago...No idea if it was a shell, plant or a cocoon...if something new or very ancient, but all searches thus far have not helped me identify it.

Any ideas on my finds during my rockhouding experience last week in Canada?

I found these Ordovician fossils in the Nicolet River formation, could it be cephalopod related?

Rocks are handy for a campfire. A common use for stones in a campfire is to create a protective ring around the flame. This ring serves two purposes: Creates a barrier between the fire and the rest of the forest, keeping the rest of the woods safe. Creates a wind barrier that can help light the fire, especially in wet and windy conditions Whatever the reason, someone made a campfire at my fossil dig site, it's a small secluded beach along a river. A nice place to make a campfire. By the way, I noticed that a rock they used to make the protective ring around the flame, had very distinct and visible small white fossils on it. A small chuck of rock found in the ash contained even whiter fossils. I deduced that the bleaching of fossils is created by the heat of the fire. I started experimenting, I put a rock containing fossils in the oven and set the heat to maximum (don't laugh, this is a very serious experiment) after heating the fossil for a solid hour, nothing happened. For my second try, I used my barbecue (don't laugh), I think I can have a higher temperature with it, I cook the same fossil for an hour and I get the same result: nothing. I needed more heat, so for my third try I put the fossil not on the grill but directly on the burners, and hooray I got white crinoids and Sowerbyella that really stand out from the matrix. Does anyone know what is the chemical process that creates this amazing effect? I wonder if this is a good method to give a second life to dull, unappealing and scientifically unworthy fossils. The heating process helps to bring the fossils out of the matrix, making it visibly more interesting. What do you think? A dull and unattractive fossil I used for my test After high temperature heating
