Hi everyone, first time poster. I found this rock at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia near the water line. At first I thought it was an organic specimen, like perhaps seaweed or roots growing on a rock, but on closer inspection it appears to be mineral. Ive never seen anything like this before. It looks a lot like petrified roots, but I figure thats unlikely. Does anyone know what this is? The last picture is from a magnifying app.

Hi, I found this beautiful little asterophyllites yesterday and noticed that there seems to be some rock covering part of the fossil. I'd like to be able to remove the rock and expose the fossil. It's very solid and too thin for any of my chisels. Would an air-abrasive pen or dental equipment work? Perhaps professional help would be appropriate.

Finding a large specimen of Chaetetes sponge in the middle of a snowy park
Pauli W. posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On one of the last days of 2021, my daughter and I went for a walk to my favorite place. This is a forest stream in the Troparevo Park. I have been interested in these places for several years from the point of view of observing an island of nature within a large metropolis. I observe many species of birds, insects and plants there. There are species listed in the Red Book of Moscow. Here is an example of a very rare insect "Conocephalus dorsalis" - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/93245215, which I observed in August. I hope that my observation will be taken into account when compiling a new edition of the Red Book of Moscow in 2022. Let's go back to the fossils. In the stream there are fragmentary Paleozoic rocks (carboniferous) brought here by a glacier from the north of Russia. Below are the photos taken on the day of the walk (18.12.21): Chaetetes sponge photo: I hope that I will soe a more complete account of my modest finds in this place. -

Bivalve mollusks. Perlovitsa (genus Unio) vs. Praemyonia (?)
Pauli W. posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Comparison of river bivalve (genus Unio) and fossil bivalve mollusk of the Carbon (presumably Praemyonia). The find was made in quaternary moraine deposits containing carboniferous rocks. The photo also shows the moment of the discovery (October 2021).- 2 replies

This time I chose a specimen of the Early Carboniferous tabulate coral Michelinia favosa which I found a few years ago on the Hook Peninsula in Ireland.

Good evening to all participants! I have accumulated a lot of local (from Ukraine) material - I decided to sort it out, and recurring fossils, or not of interest to me, offers you an exchange. Everything in the photos is one lot. Consists of: 1. Tile from Carboniferous period with fern print; 2. A fragment of the armor of a armored fish Podolaspis Lerichei of the Devonian period; 3. Tile with Silrian brachiopods and tentaculites; 4. Mollusk of Neogene; 5. A small fragment of a fossilized araucaria of the Carboniferous period with quartzite crystals; 6. 2 fragments of orthoceras (found together with a tile with tentaculites); 7. A selection of teeth and vertebrae (most of the Cenomanian fish): 7.1. 3 Enchodus teeth (2 large ones are glued from fragments, and the largest (light) one is also smeared with a children's felt-tip pen), Cenomanian. 7.2. Ptychodus teeth (light - Cenomanian; found personally, and dark ones got by exchange); 7.3. 2 undefined teeth of the Cenomanian fish and good teeth of a shark from Malin, Zhytomyr region (by the way, dark teeth of Ptychodus are from the same place); 7.4. 2 Pycnodus teeth - Cenomanian. 7.5. - A bag of Cenomanian fish vertebrae - about 50-60 pieces. Perhaps some of this will interest you. What is interesting to me: first of all, on marine reptiles and dinosaurs, and also offhand, I am interested in the teeth of megalodon, Crinoids and ammonites. Surely I missed something - I ask you, do not hesitate to write to me in private messages - i will glad to talk. Best regards, Svetlana

Unlike the soft oil-shale, I've been preparing this Knightia from a much harder matrix. It's still oil-shale but doesn't seem to flake off as easily as the other. I love how I can see the specific bones and the scale is a bonus. Here is my question to the frum: The dental tool shown in the photo is what I've been using but it doesn't seem to be able to get that final bit of matrix off. It looks like it's covered in a thin layer of dust and I'm worried that if I scratch it off, I will lose much of the detail. How do I remove the final layer and get that dark brown carbon color that makes me proud to show off my work?!?
