Found this in Goshen Oregon, not sure what formation it falls under, I have only heard it referred to as North Goshen Flora. I have read it has been dated to the Late Oligocene. Wondering if anyone recognizes what it could be. I know Pinus, Quercus, Hydrangea, Acer, Plantanus, Cinnamomum, and Sassafras have been identified in the formation, perhaps it is a seed or flower from one of those? Thanks for any help. Please be kind, I'm new and just looking to learn.

Hi, I found this trace fossil the other day and I'm having trouble identifying it. I saw something similar that was a coral with hexagons but I'm just not sure. Could you please give me a little help. Sorry the pictures are just from my phone, Thanks so much.

Plant and Insect Fossil Finds From Florissant Fossil Quarry ( Colorado )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Colorado Time: Late Eocene Epoch Formation: Florissant Formation Hello! I had the fortunate opportunity to visit the famous Florissant Fossil Quarry in Colorado and was able to collect some amazing stuff before the rain ended our class fossil hunting ventures. Nevertheless I have at least 3 insects that I was hoping I could ask for identifications on for here! I also added some of my plant fossil finds if anyone can recognize those too it would be great! Found this little fly guy Mosquito? or something else? Insect larvae? Or just missing the wings? To me this looks like a possible larvae of some insect, but the wings present in the top right might suggest another story, what do you think? All of my insects just so happened to be next to each other with some amorphous plant debris Fossil Flower? I spotted this guy right as we arrived lying in a mound by the road Sorry for the grainy photos, this guy just could not focus for the life of me Leaves: Other plant material: Couldn't really categorize this one. It was very weird to say the least as it looks very plant like but I have a feeling it could be something more.- 1 reply

Final Round of Real vs. Fake
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is actually quite enjoyable finding out which fossils are real and fake. First pic we have a fossil flower stamen from the Green River Formation in Utah. The second piece was quite cheap, but it's from Morocco (Anti-Atlas Mtns.) and it seemed odd to me that the bottom Orthoceras has the same pattern as the matrix below it. But perhaps you have an explanation for that. The third piece is a Ginkgo leaf from the Sentinel Butte Formation of North Dakota. The final piece is a Juvenile Megalodon tooth from Pungo River Formation of North Carolina. Thanks again to everyone who's helped out, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's learned something..thumb.png.d1605919f5b60890a3dac3a004e43fde.png)

The Green River Formation is one of the most well-known fossil sites in the world, occupying present-day Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. This Lagerstätte has been noted for its well-preserved fish fossils, as well as numerous invertebrates, plants, and sometimes even reptiles and birds. Green River fossils are Eocene-aged, at 53.5 to 48.5 million years old. Thankfully, not only are Green River fossils attractive, they also remain affordable to the casual collector. Allow me to present my humble collection. Crocodile tooth Borealosuchus sp. Southwest Wyoming Water bird tracks (possibly sandpipers or plovers) Presbyorniformipes feduccii Vernal, Utah Bird feather Aves indet. Southwest Wyoming Crane flies & Mosquitoes Pronophlebia rediviva & Culex sp. Parachute Creek Member; Douglas Pass, Colorado

99 million year old flower found encased in amber. http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/valviloculus-pleristaminis-09184.html

Hi everyone! This is my first find, not so exciting as I saw on other members' pictures, though still exciting for me I found it in Sydney Australia, on a beach near Long Reef golf club, Collaroy, NSW, Australia. Rock face here is weathering and pieces of black shale are falling off. As far as I know the entire Sydney area are from Triassic period and later. One looks to me like some plant, probably a flower. If it's a flower, then it shoudl be definitely younger than Triassic for sure. The smaller one is probably similar, since they were on the same rock. Thanks!

Possibly a flower fossil? Found in Toowoomba, Qld Australia. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Hey Everyone! I've found these in Toowoomba, Qld Australia. I was wondering if anyone knew what they were and how I should go about cleaning them up. These are my first fossils Ive found, im so excited and don't want to damage them!

Found this earlier while shark tooth hunting. Just trying to find out what it is.

My Dad was given a few slabs of this rock from a friend in Phoenix, AZ. We can’t figure out what it is. Similar to coral fossils but they aren’t circle in shape. When he cut and polished it, it was really hard. Any ideas?

I have searched since I found this, to figure out exactly what it is. Nobody that I have talked to has been able to for sure ID it. I found it while searching for crinoid fossils at a beach near Michigan City, Indiana, in Lake Michigan. I was swimming around, picking up anything I found, taking a look, and I tossed this one up on the beach. We were guessing that it may be the bulb part of a crinoid, but I haven't found anything online that looks exactly like this one. We used dental tools to pick out some of the sandy stuff, so we could see more detail. My hand is not in the picture for size reference, rather, I had to hold it upright to get more picture angles. My mom took this fossil to a rock show, and people were amazed by it, though they couldn't identify exactly what it is. Some said it is a once in a lifetime find. If it can't be ID'd here, I will likely take it to the university I attend, or a museum. My dinosaur class professor wasn't entirely sure about it either. I would really like to know exactly what it is. Thanks in advance for any help! I look forward to contributing to these forums!

Went to the Florissant fossil quarry, and found some nice fossils. Wondering if I could possibly get them ID'ed, since I'm a novice. Thanks.

Hi all, I wish to get a Green River flower or feather. The entire fossil, including matrix, shouldn't be larger than 3" by 3". I can trade you one of my fossils (I've got amber, iridescent ammonites, croc teeth, edmontosaurus teeth etc). Thank you.
