I'll take things Absolutely not supposed to be found in Southeast Kentucky for one thousand, Alex...
Kentuckyhistorygirl posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hello 👋 I am so happy to have found this forum! I have already gleaned some excellent I formation and look forward to more. I am an avid researcher. If my interest in something, in ANYTHING is piqued, I have to KNOW all there is to know about that particular subject. A blessing and a curse. My curiosity is rarely, if ever, fully satisfied. I have been told by many, many experts that several of the things I have been finding recently are absolutely NOT in Southeast Kentucky amd I MUST be mistaken. Ummm... I live in Southeast Kentucky and most (99%) of what I have found in the past several months has been from an area within 10 miles of my home. So, what am I missing? Only so much can be explained through the occasional drop or glacial deposits. Just in the past 24 hours I have found over 30 small geodes! All between 1 inch and 4 inches in diameter. All within 30 yards of each other. NOT in or near water. Also found were bits of agate, small agate nodules, crinoids, crinoid crusted geodes, loads of Rugose (horn) coral, etc...- 17 replies

Hi folks, I ventured out today and found these in a creek in Monroe County, IN. I've seen (what I think were) geodized fossils at a local show in the past, so I was keen on trying to find some of my own. Attached are some photos. I think one is a geodized horn coral, while the other appears to be a crinoid calyx or blastoid. There is a small horn coral in some of the photos as a reference. These were somewhat common in the creek. I'm not really concerned about species here as they are fairly distorted, just interested in hearing if you think these are, in fact, geodized fossils. Thanks! Jim

This was found on one of my recent hikes in a creek bed in south-central Indiana (Monroe County). Geodes are very common finds as well as crinoid columnals and horn coral but this is the first find of this type. So I would think it is some type of geodized fossil but would like the experts' opinions. The first 3 photos (taken in natural sunlight) are "side" views and the 4th shows the "bottom". What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I'm a newbie to The Fossil Forum. I hike in the hilly areas of south-central Indiana (mainly Morgan, Monroe & Brown counties) whenever I get a chance and many times I end up walking the rocky creek beds looking for fossils & unusual rocks. These creeks are rich in geodes and there is a lot of shale & limestone. I believe that some of the unusual finds are geodized fossils. I have several that I'd like to share with the forum to get opinions from the experts. Attaching multiple photos (15 total: 3 groups of 5) of 4 different specimens with the first five photos showing a pair which have similarities. Thanks in advance for any input.

I would appreciate some help identifying some of my latest finds. Since I am in Southern Indiana, I know many of my finds are silicified or geodized and I kind of know what some of them are but I want to be sure. I apologize if this post seems to be a bombardment of pictures that I am asking help identifying but I didn't want to post too many separate posts. Hopefully I've correctly uploaded pictures & if I am doing anything incorrectly please give me advise. First are what look to be turtle shells or are they just geodes moonlighting as turtle shells?

Hi all, I found online the following fossil. The finder claims it to be an egg, which I really doubt, although I am no expert. What can it possible be?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!! Find location is south america, sorry for the lack of further details! Best!

I'm new to this forum from Jasper in Southern Indiana. I have been finding geodized fossils by the bucket fulls in the creek by my house for a few years. I was told it would be strange to find them this far south without a nearby rock formation. From all the rain a bank washed out and I m finding things I am not sure of original. Hopefully this forum can help. Here are a few I found a couple days ago. My name is Jackie. Thanks ahead of time for any help and glad to be a part of this forum
