A great day with a good friend. At the very end , he found a jaw segment with 2 teeth. I do not know what it is...Only have photos I think the Jaw is 33 mm with each tooth about 11-12 mm. I have a number of interesting finds.. and little time to research. 1) A bivalve transformed to Silica 2) Botryoidal bubbles. I guess there is a little Druzy there also. These are just fun to find... 3) A lower left jaw m3... 4) A toe bone.. looks similar to Mastodon, but they can not be this small, can they? 24 x 20x 19 mm 5) A carnassial, maybe a lower m1. Look at the lines in the chewing surface of the 2nd photo. 6) A very unusual tooth or tusk fragment. The hollow core might mean whale or Alligator... Thanks for looking. Any identifications greatly appreciated. Jack

Hunting a new location today. My partner was doing much better.. The last 3-4 sieves had some interesting items. On this 1st one, I hoped for more, but this was all we found. I may have to try this location a couple of more times I have a number of these that I thought came from Bonita... This one might have come from a sardine. I always mis_identify the modern version for the fossil version... Let me ask @Harry Pristis if he thinks this is an "m3". There were some interesting bone partials, turtle footpads, and many small teeth.... The water is still pretty deep. I frequently had to close my mouth and lifting a full shovel up thru 5 feet of water is challenging. Really liked that druzy... Jack

Crinoid calyx or echinoid? Found in gravel with Ordovician-Devonian fossils. About 2cm across at the widest point. Druzy coating over the fossil which seems to be an external mould. In orange jasper. Thanks so much!

I hardly ever go out on Weekends, because it takes away the perception of solitude. But today ,made an exception... Showing off a couple of finds, and asking a couple of questions... 1st is a lower left Equus tooth, likely the m1 or m2. Equus is pretty common in the Peace River. This one is pretty small at 24 mm APL. Question:... What is you smallest APL for an Equus tooth? 2nd is a P. mirifica about the same size as the Equus tooth. Blowup of enamel.... Question. What has happened with this tooth? Is that sparkly stuff druzy? On the lower left enamel, looks like HSBs ... but HSBs do not occur in Camelids.. So what are those slanting lines? Here is an example of Hunter_Schreger Bands (HSBs) in Rhino teeth..

Hi guys, avid rock hunter here, brought home this “thunder egg” from crater of diamonds in Arkansas a few years ago. I finally got a slab saw and it’s not what I expected! It’s semi transparent in spots and some druzy inclusions. Some areas seem a little oolitic? Could it be an “agatized” fossil of some sort?

TOTALLY GAGA, wow, I don’t care if it doesn’t have fossils- I AM IN LOVE! Tons of blingy wow. Photos don’t do it justice. As that great orator, Pee-wee Herman, said, “If you like it so much, why don’t you marry it?”

I found this rock about 20 years ago while hiking a piece of property I was considering buying, which was perched on a high bluff over looking the Illinois River. I picked it up because of the beautiful druzy crystals on it. I have been cleaning quartz crystals this week, which I found a few weeks ago near Hot Springs, AR. I was using Iron out to remove the iron stains. Anyway, I have kept this rock in my kitchen window so it could catch the sunlight and sparkle for me all these years. It is not the finest home decor, but definitely my style. I picked it up today to see if it had any iron stains on it that might need to be removed. As I was looking at it something in the chert caught my eye! I’ve had this rock all these years, but never realized, to my great delight (squeal!!!), there were fossils in it until today. That just makes it all the more special and cool. The formation there is Keokuk and Reed, which is Mississippian. I think these may be Bryozoa, but I’m not certain. I’m not sure I’ve ever hunted a Mississippian formation and found much besides crinoid pieces. Note the little rice grain size/shape dark spots on the top right side. I saw them and began to wonder if they were fossils. I turned the rock around to look at all sides and saw these rice grain size and shapes that were clustered together. See top center just below the crystal. These look flat, but in the next pic they have more dimension. Rice grain size and shape center of pic. The bottom of the rock. Note bottom center it almost looks like a plant leaf of sorts, but I assume Bryozoa. I have not found many fossils in the area. I found a couple crinoid fragments on the nearby land that I ended up buying instead. So, I’m pretty sure these are marine fossils. A few miles away to the east in Arkansas, in the Boone Formation, I found 3 Spirifers and abundant crinoid stalk fragments. Can anyone confirm that these are Bryozoa and if so what type they may be? Thank you in advance for your comments and input. Kim
