Hey guys! I’m new here. I am a geologist that’s has Ammolite claims and does frequent hiking and canoe trips to collect fossils from my claims. I guess I’ll start with posting some photos from my collection, please let me know if there’s any other info I can add. Take care, John

What type of rock is this? Found it on the shore (Anyer beach)

I'm pretty sure these are quartz, but I'd like to know your opinion, thank you in advance

I might need this for my journal and research

My feeling tells that's an old rock

Here is a great video from a geologist that explains how purported giant tree fossils form. Reminds me of what we try to do on the Forum: using geological principles and logic to determine if a rock is a fossil. Debunking purported fossils seem to be a Sisyphean task around here.

I've now had it looked at by a geologist and the park paleontologist at "The Falls of the Ohio". The paleontologist was intrigued yet baffled by it. As far as the record books are concerned there were not supposed to be dinosaurs in Indiana. But I know for a fact that Tell City man in southwest Indiana found one in a creek. He had it authenticated. Maybe there never were dinosaurs in this area? But I can tell you who was. Mound builders. A friend of mine had a theory as to how the came to be here. That sometime, somewhere, native peoples found them and carried them in their travels. At some point they cashed them just as they did with points, effigies, Ect. There was a huge Native American presence in the same area where I found mine. The geologist told me that it was similar to rocks found in the oceans. But that made no sense to him considering just how land locked we are. He also remarked about it's density. It's very heavy. His recommendation was that I continue my search someplace where I can have it x-rayed or have a scan performed on it. Can anyone tell me where I could have this done where I won't have to mail it. A place close enough that I could possibly drive there. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Greetings from northwest Arkansas. I was born and raised in Wyoming and started rock, fossil, and arrow head hunting at a young age. The hobby tapered off as I got older but was reignited many years later when I got my BS in Geology from UW. I'm now working on my PhD and collecting here in Fayetteville. While paleontology isn't my specialty (sedimentology/geomorphology) I am crazy about all types of fossils. When recently looking for a BIF I knew I had somewhere, I rediscovered a sample of the Madison limestone with crinoids/bryozoans. Found the forum while looking for info about the bryozoans (couldn't remember the correct names). Anyway, this forum seems like a great community so I thought I'd join.

Hi, by way of introduction, I'm a retired geologist, started off as a micropaleontologist working on the forams of the chalk of the UK and North Sea. I spend time as a Stratigrapher and then most of my career as an Exploration Manager in the Tertiary Basins of SE Asia. Currently trying to resurrect and repair my fossil collection after many decades in storage!

Hello everyone! Just a little background: I graduated with my Master's in Geology in Alabama and moved for work just before the pandemic Now that things are starting to settle down, I have been looking to check out the local fossil scene and I found this site while trying to find some good information from people in the know! Found so much good info I just had to join! Excited to have this space to get back into fossil hunting, one of my favorite parts of my undergrad experience!

Hi all. I am new here and excited to learn. I am a biologist/ geologist and love to collect fossils. I was the guy that studied the sediment and rocks around fossil deposits prior to joining oil and gas industry. Currently, I live in SE Asian. I mostly buy fossils these days but get out into the field any opportunity I get. My new research interest include plate tectonics and the opening of the South China Sea.

My birthday was on 31 May so I did what any other person would do on their birthday, I took a cruise on Loch Ness with a visit to Urquhart Castle and then drove to Cromarty to visit the Hugh Miller house and cottage. I got quite a bit of photos for you all to enjoy, including some specimens that Hugh collected himself. For those that don’t know who he is, you can check out these sites for more detailed information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Miller http://www.thefriendsofhughmiller.org.uk/hugh-miller-a-brief-history.asp

Hello yall. Recently moved from Germany to Texas and am fascinated by the local fossil load while walking my dog. Embarrassingly enough, I have a BS in geology and could not even remember common names of what I was seeing. In my defense, that was 30 years ago and most of my paleontology experience was staring down a microscope counting foraminiferia. So I joined the community here in hopes to ID some. I've kept only one textbook from my geology days, "Invertebrate Fossils" by Raymond Moore (copy write 1952). We called it the "treatise" back then, but I don't even know if the taxonomy is correct anymore? Can anyone recommend a more up to date book or is on-line a better resource? Thanks
