Found in a creek in Floyd County Kentucky. Area is Pennsylvanian (according to the university of Kentucky website the area may also have a very small mix of Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary). I'm wondering if this is a fossil, like an impression of a seed or something, or if this is just a weird rock. Thanks in advance.

Newbie notes I found the scapula during my last outing. The humerus I found many months ago. I didn't know it was humerus when I found it, but I thought it was a fossil. While I was taking a fossil inventory, these two came together again . . . after 90 million years. You can't see it in the photo, but they are connected quantumly. The "paddle bones" were dark, smooth and easy to spot. I've got a few more here. Who would have thought that putting them together could be as much fun as finding them. ~

My neice just pulled this out of the creek at my mom's near Ashland Kentucky. I know the area to be Carboniferous. I think it's a coral, but I'm still too much of an amateur to know for sure. Any help would be appreciated by myself and my neice.

This was found in Eastern Kentucky in the creek behind my house. Carboniferous. I think it might be astertophyllites. Is this correct?

Found this in the creek behind my house in Eastern Kentucky. It's been raining (and flooding) a lot so tons of rocks are being washed out of the hills. I'm uncertain what era this could be from since I'm not exactly sure where it washed out from. The pictures I'm including show it while it was still in the rock and after I removed it. I thought it was made of metal at first, but it isn't magnetic at all, nor is it soft like lead or aluminum. After looking around online the closest thing I could find to it's shape is fish coprolite. Is this coprolite or just some strange thing in a rock?

I am new to the forum but have been collecting fossils for many years and need help identifying ones that I am having trouble finding on internet please and thank you! The last one looks like a fish but maybe it’s just a rock that looks like one

I thought the first fossil was a rib but I’ve got some other rib partials here that are small, thin and fragile, so I’m not sure. I thought the second two fossils were cervical vertebrae, but I don’t see the “peduncle on the underside surface,” so I’m not sure.

Any ideas on these?

I found this small tooth years back in one of the numerous Bone Valley creeks that produce colorful teeth. I never was positive on the ID, thinking it was likely Carcharhinus .sp, but not shaped like the common Bull or Dusky I was finding in the Peace River, similar to the one directly below. Just stumbled over the photo below, looking for well preserved fossils. I only have this single photo.. Hope it is enough....

@stats, @fiddlehead, @Mark Kmiecik, @deutscheben, @connorp @RCFossils and any other member. Here is a piece that I cannot put my finger on and don’t recall seeing one before. Any help would be appreciated.

Thus far, 18 fossils have been ID in my first four posts. Thanks to all the professionals here at TFF for taking the time to ID so many fossils. I’ve got a bunch more. THANKS ! ~ I found what appears to be a coprolite in the same strata that I’ve found most of the other fossils. I picked this one up, tossed it back, then picked it up again and decided to keep it because I read that if you don’t recognize it or think it might be different in some way, keep it . . . might be somethin’. I read up on the Dutchess of Dookie and I’ve been to her web site and reviewed the coprolites there, didn’t see anything like this one.

Newbie Notes I’ve had these fossils for a while. I’ve had a chance to research them and I have an idea of what they might be . . . but as a newbie I’m not positive. So, I defer to the professionals for the final ID. With the help of the veterans at this forum, (11) fossils were ID in my first two posts. Thanks. The following pics are group number three. The last fossil in the group you’ll notice the depositional environment is different. It was found where the creek flows into the river. I sat down to eat lunch and there was the fossil.

@RCFossils @fiddlehead @stats @Mark Kmiecik I am opening concretions right now and this one split with a nice little tap. It looks like flora, but I don’t recall this piece. If it was from a later time period I would say it was a pretty feather lol. Any help would be appreciated.

Newbie Notes Long story short. September 2020 I decided to become a fossil hunter. I searched the internet and found the North Sulfur River. My first three visits I found coral fragments and small fossil wood. I was still hopeful. I then reviewed several maps of the area and decided on the road less traveled by. Went there November 2020 and found my first fossil. I followed the strata in which that fossil was found. The strata led me up a creek and that creek was laden with fossils. I hunted that creek countless times and found a bunch of nice fossils. On my last two visits they were scarce, so I stayed away for six months. I returned this May and it was the same as it ever was. I searched the internet and I have an idea of what these fossils might be . . . but as a newbie I’m not so sure, so I need help to ID. The following first set of pics include the first fossil and one of the latest. Thanks in advance for your time to ID. I hope you find these fossils as interesting and fascinating as I have. ~

Can we collect in the Deep Springs Road Creek?
Trilobite Enthusiast posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I was just fossil hunting at the deep springs road site, and I decided to search for fossils in the dry part of the creek (downstream a bit, in the thorny brambles). I found many fossils, but I wondered as I was doing it whether fossil collection there was allowed. I figured that since the owner lets people fossil hunt on that property, and because that area was not cared for (bramble city), that it was okay. However, I stopped on the off chance that it wasn’t allowed in case it could affect any other people hunting on the site. Is fossil hunting there okay? If not, should I return the fossils I collected? -
Would this be a snake or lizard fossil? Its a creek rock from a creek bed in Weldon Springs Missouri.
TinySpiderMonkeyNinja posted a topic in Fossil ID
It wraps all the way around or quite possibly just goes all of the way through? I am not sure but it is pretty! Any help you all have is amazing!
-
Understand this may just be a rock but nothing around in the creek bed matches what this looks like. Not sure if it’s some sort of shell concretion or what. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts.

Very much looks like a mushroom but apparently that's impossible

Over the weekend, me and my friend went to a creek in North Florida and found the Fossils below (main picture to fire wolf) the next day I went by myself to a land site near me and found most of the small teeth and the megalodon. This was our first time at this creek, and it was a huge success, with the most Miocene age fossils of any creek I have been to. We got camel, round- tailed muskrat ( thank you to those who helped identify that) horse, gator, and best of all, my first dire wolf tooth.

Hey Everyone, Wife has decide to join me tomorrow morning. I really enjoy her company and our time out there. Wondering if anyone can help me locate an easy access point to a creek , or area, that might produce some ammonites near Fort Worth. I have a couple species I am looking for in that area. I have not hunted Fort Worth except Lake Worth. Thanks on advance for any suggestions, George

I was splitting open some Mazon Creek nodules I've had for a while about a half hour ago when this enigma popped out, I have no clue what it is. The nodule is from Pit 11.
