Conifer Cone??? Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation in Connecticut
Cianfaglione posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this interesting plate this morning, not sure what the two (circled) objects are, but they look like possible conifer cones, including what looks like a stem on the top cone-like marking. Early Jurassic, East Berlin Formation in Connecticut. Comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!.thumb.JPG.fb6a1c5050ff8781d8dd25189f9b2523.JPG)

Recent find; Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation in Connecticut
Cianfaglione posted a topic in Fossil ID
Last weekend I found this very small slab with an unusual marking on it. The coloration does not look like the plants that I have been finding. Looks like a possible insect, but I can't find (see) any defining characters. Maybe a mineral stain?? Comments would be greatly appreciated. The small slab has a penny behind it as a prop.

Here are three recent finds from the early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. I believe two of them are plants, the third one (wavy reddish markings) I'm not so sure. The plate which has markings that radiate from a central area is the second type that I have found like that. Comments, thoughts, or an identification would be greatly appreciated.

I'm still going through some of the rock that I collected from a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. This caught my eye this afternoon, maybe a leaf?? It looks like a leaf from my ginkgo bonsai that I have sitting on my desk! Maybe its nothing. Thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated! Fossil is part and counterpart.

Here is one more fossil plate (same location as previous post) that I found the other day along a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. Maybe a horsetail and strobilus (bottom right corner)?? I don't know what the halo around the vertical lines are about. Thoughts and comments are again greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I found this fossil plate two days ago along a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. I'm not sure what these trace fossils might be, maybe bivalves?? Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated Thank you.

I found this fossil plate last weekend along a road cut of the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation (200 mya) in Connecticut. A similar image posted to this forum hints that these tadpole-shaped trace fossils may be bivalves. I have in the past found invertebrate tunnels at this same location, but these certainly do not look the same. Some of the trace fossils overlap, which makes me think that they could be something else. Could they be fish larvae?? Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated Thank you.

I know there are tons of 'not an egg' look alike rocks but as they don't seem to resemble this one I will venture to ask...my daughter found this in a shallow riverbed on our camping trip last week to central Connecticut. The brown shell like pieces are thick and uniform. There are some in the opposite side as well, will upload more pictures. This pic was taken the day of the find. Any insight would be welcome. My daughter is 4 and pulled it out because we were discussing all the different colors of the river rocks. This one looked nothing like the others. A man we had chatted with the day prior lives close to the riverbed and had spent the summer doing a lot of rock stacking and moving lots of the river stones around to build these rock nests in the water for his toddler to play in. A lot of the areas we were wading in were spots he'd been uncovering and relocating rocks. ANYWAY - any comments are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I found some teeth and bone fragments digging footings in my backyard. Any idea what animal these might be from? Thanks!!
-
Hi, this tooth was found in my front yard in Wethersfield, CT while I was exploring whether there were any datable artifacts in a test pit just outside my house (supposedly oldest house in CT). I only found a few historical artifacts (wrought nail) and was mostly chasing charcoal (Native people were burning the area) and wanted to see if I could get to the clear glacial till when this tooth popped out of nowhere. This is definitely not my area of experience. Thanks for any help Paul

Magnetic in and out. large 3.5 lbs. outer shell had some cracking peeling off as seen Not sure what it is. best guess amphibolite concretion? iron. no known fossils in area. Metamorphic rocks in area but maybe igneous? very tiny shiny metal balls in black area
