Bird fossil (with feathers)
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This bird fossil is amazing, if genuine, that it has the imprints of feathers. Is it painted? The fossil is from Liaoning Province, China. -
Can anyone tell me what this is??

Hi, another fossil I quite like the look of. A feather from Jiufotang Formation Chaoyang, Liaoning Province, China. 2.7 inches. Am I right that this is multiple feathers on one slab--looks to be five feathers. Now, is the description of these being feathers accurate, and, can anyone see anything suspicious with it? The fact the feathers in quite a straight line looks odd to me. Thanks feather1.jfif feather2.jfif

What is this inclusion in this amber? It appears to be some sort of head, but I don’t know what it is

Just as it says in the title, are these feathers from the Eocene Florissant Formation of Colorado. Or are they plant parts. They both are about 9mm long, 1/3 of an inch. Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone! I recently started looking at burmite amber online and found this interesting feather inclusion. I'm not sure if it's avian or non-avian. Quite wispy but shape suggests avian... I'm not sure. Any info is very much appreciated :)!

My husband and I found this in Myrtle Beach, SC this week. It's not wood or bone, so we are wondering if it is feather or fern. Your help is needed. Thanks!

I have had a bunch of broken bits of Oligocene mammal coprolites sitting in a cup for years. I got them before I had a proper microscope. I decided to pick through another one last night. This one had what I thought could be a rodent incisor. So I started excavating with my X-acto blade. As I uncovered the bone, I realized it was not a tooth. I started noticing these very fine crescent shaped objects (which I unfortunately did not photograph). So I decided to give the poo a little vinegar bath overnight. As I lightly removed an unremarkable bit of fossilized fecal mass this morning, it split a

Hi guys, Last week I was on a vacation in Balchik on the northern coast of the black sea and I visited a small fossil site there. It's a small shoreline littered with mudstone and limestone (I think). Previously there I have been finding bones of sea mammals but this time I found something even more interesting... From what I can tell it's a feather. I just wanted to ask you if you can confirm that it's a feather. I was also wandering if there is anyway that it is a modern birds feather somehow imprinted on the fallen rock. Happy New Year to everyone !!!

Amber fossils and authenticity
VlkCherokee posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there! I wanted to ask you for your opinion on this amber fossil. Does it seems genuine to you? Would you have any recommendations what to look out for? And how common the fake amber fossils actually are? I am quite new to this, I was an enthusiastic fossil hunter, usually searching in slate deposits, but I've recently came across these amber fossils and I was blown away by the level of detail that has been preserved in these. I am actually an ornithologist engaging mostly in educational/popularization field, doing all sorts of events for schools and pre-schoolers and I was thinking that ha -
Hello together, I have been finding online offers of feathers in Burmite recently, some look rather like recent birds´, other look structurally different at least to the everyday feather you get, the later often called dinosaur feathers. Price range is enormous. Any advice on how to recognice the good ones? I wouldn´t expect to afford a nonavian dinosaur feather, but a cretacious Bird would be nice, if real. Thanks in advance, J

Hello guys! Happy new year to everyone! Saw this interesting fossil listed as a rare fossil bird feather from Parachute Creek, Colorado. Here are my questions 1. Is it really a fossil feather? ( I was thinking more like some kind of seed but It does look a lot like a feather) 2. If it is, is it really a bird feather? What else could it be? Really Appreciate the help, here are the only pics I have. Cheers!

I would like some help identifying some trace fossils. These are all from the same site from the "Soldier Summit Fossil Track Horizon" area in the Eocene Green River Formation. My grandson and I collected these for his science fair project, so any insight is welcome. Fossil A is obviously a tail feather. It's length is 55mm. Fossil B has shore-bird tracks, but please notice the insect track in the right side. What kind of insect could have made this? Fossil C and D are different sides of the same rock. For side C, I initially thought that this might be bird tracks,

This is a fossil that a friend gave me. I have no idea where it originated, although CO or NE could be a good guess. Any idea what it is? It is very fine. It looks to me like a feather, but under the microscope it doesn't have any of the features of a feather. The fibers are just straight and very thin. The pictures are of the two opposing sides, which fit together.

Plant or feather (Glen Rose / Devils River Lower Cretaceous Texas)
Mr.Marcus posted a topic in Fossil ID
Could someone please help me identify this fossil. I'm not sure if it is a plant or feather. My instincts tell me it is some sort of filtering sea plant. I found it while fossil hunting with my boys on top of small mountain approximately 3 miles west-northwest of Camp Wood, TX. The geologic atlas of Texas indicates that the formation is the Lower Devils River / Upper Glen Rose (Lower Cretaceous). The fossil is 1.5" x 0.5". -
I picked this up as part of a collection this is one of the few items that did not have labels or information. It looks like a feather to me but I am no expert. Thank you
