Gastropods with calcite crystals from Oxfordian stage (163,5 mln years)
Svetlana posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
Hello everyone. I offer interesting gastropods with calcite crystals - perhaps someone will be interested I have a lot of them. Pseudomorphoses of calcite after gastropod shells of the genus Nerinea from Upper Jurassic limestones of the Oxfordian stage (Izyum Formation J2-3iz); 163,5 mln years. Ukraine, Donetsk region. I'm interested in everything - I invite you to private messages Have a nice day VID_20220122_135535.mp4 VID_20220122_135732.mp4 -
I think I’ve posted before in the wrong area…hoping this is reaching y’all: found this in Bexar County San Antonio, Texas in my neighborhood which is new construction. In this area I’ve found a lot of petrified trees and other types of possible water creatures. I’ll attach those pics since I may have posted them in the wrong discussion area.. this looks like a shell of some sort and has beautiful little crystals in the ‘valleys’ of the sunburst pattern..

Crystal Mountain Museum (crystals, minerals and fossils)
Gareth_ posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
Last weekend I went to Crystal Mountain, it is a retail store with attached cafe, animal feeding, small rollercoaster (for the kids), large indoor playground etc overall a pretty cool place to visit. Under the shop there is a museum, which is what this post is about - not your typical museum, a lot of things are unlabeled unfortunately, it's quite small (just 3 large rooms with corridors) all set up to look like you're deep underground in a cave. These photos are in no particular order I got my youngest (6 years old) to pose in front of some of the really big crystals to add a bit o- 14 replies

Hello. I want to show you some examples from my collection. This is a Carboniferous wood. The preservation is not the best, but for me these samples are interesting for the presence of crystals of smoky and ordinary quartz on them. A sliver that has broken off from a larger fragment. There is more quartz than wood Perhaps a stem or stump - it is almost round in cross section. And thickly overgrown with crystals. Large flattened fragment; perhaps the first sliver was from it.

Hello i just buy right now ammonite fossil with crystals on it
Tseytlin posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
So guys its very randomly im not collector or something like this - I buy through auction houses , and I buy a fossil last day because its was on low price and no one wanted to buy it. I tried to search any information to how recognize if its fake or real and value there is no information about it , so I will be happy to get more information about it. I buy it inexpensively. I know its above 100g didn't weight it still because it's shipping to me right now and he got lot of minerals crystal and the things that grow on it with the years There is the pictures , sorry for bad en -
Hi, I found this stone in...a charity shop. I really love it but I’m not sure what type of stone it is and the only one I can connect it to would be stromatolite. It has more unusual pattern though. Please could someone help me with identification. It has a clear quartz (I think) in the middle, it should be visible on the photo. Thanks

Parkinsonia parkinsoni (ammonite) Jurassic, Upper inferior Oolite Bridport Dorset. UK 6.5" The first photos I took a few years ago did nothing for this unique specimen. I found it difficult capturing the details and still think they could be better. The ammonite has many chambers preserved in calcite that glow when backlit. Calcite crystals can be seen growing inside some of the empty chambers. Fossil, mineral, crystals, art, science, love Happy collecting.

So i have heard stories of people finding crystals in shells on the peace river. I'm assuming it's yellow calcite but i could be wrong. Anyone hear the same or know some places?

I am wondering if anybody else has ever come across a fossilized Seabiscuit that is showing some form of crystallization

My metamorphic/igneous trip to Socorro, New Mexico.
Innocentx posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
All the beauty you see against the blue sky is a story of time from the book of rocks, uplifting, cleaving, and eroding in wonderful ways. I searched and got this Socorro County geologic map. A rather immense amount of study involved in this document. Best at 175% zoom. If I lived there all the time I might come to understand it. https://geoinfo.nmt.edu/publications/openfile/downloads/200-299/238/ofr_238.pdf- 39 replies

THIS ONE HAS SEXY FOSSILS- heck, I can even feel the cockles clamming-up over this one! Sooooo... did I get this right? (Not volcanic glass, and definitely from “ancient water”....right?). :-D -

Hello from Cyprus, warm wishes for exciting finds to everyone! Here is a relatively bigger oyster than my usual finds, this one is complete and inside small crystals have formed, could be calcite not sure. Took advantage of the heavy rainfall and found it on muddy collapsing hills north of akrotiri area. I found half, and half a meter further I dug out the other half Perhaps you can better see the small crystals that formed all over inside both parts below Nearby I found also the following: found pos

Recently found this odd looking rock with a very concrete like feel to it. it has multiple fossils and crystals on it but what is weird is this flower shaped crystal on it.

I went exploring today. I hit 3 places. The 1st two were the Ozan in Rowlett. The first 2 were a busts, but the 3rd was in the Eagle Ford in Dallas and it was a very interesting place. I can’t say that I found specific fossils per se, but I did find the product/remains of prehistoric animals. I was ecstatic with my finds. Septarian nodules have been on my bucket list of things to find. I found a hill full of them!!! I got there less than an hour before sundown and was thrilled with what I found. This one is very cool, but I’m not sure what the original creature actually was.
