We had a pretty good amount of rain fall last week. With that said, it's a sure bet I was gonna find Ichno fossils...that I did! Here are a few really nice specimens...I still haven't found the body impressions of the track makers...yet?

Hello All! It's been awhile since I posted latest pics of trace fossil finds. I usually go to my favorite site once every two weeks and usually walk away with 1 to 3 finds but never have the time to post all of them. Here are a few and I hope I haven't posted any of these previously on TFF...they definitely have been posted on the Facebook sites. Probably need to go through my boxes and sort through the others and take pics and post soon? Pic #1- Have no idea what created this? Pic#2- Resting trace with another set of tracks to the right. Pic#3-6- Really cool tracks...Diplichnites, Protichnites? Pic#7- U-shaped burrow. Pic#8-10- Conostichus, side and top view Pic #11&12- I find a lot of these, unfortunately they've been all one side not a complete set. From the looks of them, I'm assuming they are the track/claw marks of an arthropod???

Hello Ya'll from hot, steamy Bama! It had been over a month since I went on a fossil hunt. I got to go on Saturday and found a few nice specimens. Pictures 3-5 came from a stone I walked over numerous times not thinking that much about it until I picked it up and split it into and this is what I found, the pos and negative of a fern frond. It evidently had fallen from a section of the rock wall? Moral of the story, don't overlook stones just because they have nothing on it that is visible, it's what you find on the inside of one when it's split open... Central Alabama, Pottsville Formation, Carboniferous Period. Pics 1 & 2 - Alethopteris? Pics 3-7- Neuopteris Pics 8&9- Peripteris Pics 10- Lycopodites Pics 11&12- #11- 3D Calamite Stems in matrix which pops out. #12- 2D Calamite Stems with nice carbon preservation

Hello All! I've collected a lot of plant fossils as well as others, most of them stored in boxes. Over time I've purchased and been given many pictures frames from regular to shadow box with plans of someday placing something in them. Now I've combined both my fossils and frames together, discovering new ways to be creative and getting the fossils out of the box and filling up wall space! Of course all of these are for personal use and not for sale. Here are a few samples... The third sample was created several years back and can be improved upon.

Crazy is, crazy does when it comes to fossil hunting on a hot day! Went fossil hunting last Tuesday after work with the temp pushing 92 degrees with a real feel of 101 degrees! Gotta love the summer in Bama...not! Oh cold weather can't wait till you get here! Here are a few finds from that hot steamy day.

Can someone please identify these plant whorls? They were found among ferns, calamities and cyperite leaves. Do they belong to the Lycopod family? What would they be classified as?
