Hello, New to the site and rockhounding in general. I live in Northern Indiana, close to where a glacier ended up resting, so some interesting things are in the area. Cracked open an interesting specimen and found these. I know Nothing about fossils, learning what I can rapidly, but there seem to be too many things in here to identify for my newby brain. Thanks for any assistance!

Hello all! I found a glacier transported fossil in unusually good condition in Southern New Jersey so I was wondering if anyone could get specific on it as to species and genus. Obviously, it was found severely out of its original formation so I'm not sure we can get any detail on this but I figured I'd try!

I wanted to show a fossil I found years before I ever joined this forum or took a step in the Cretaceous brooks. This is a Crinoid specimen I found about 20 years ago at the Delaware River in Burlington City, NJ when I was a kid. The Deleware River has a good amount of fossils brought down here from the glaciers. At the time, I did a horrible job prepping (if you can even call it that) this fossil and pretty much destroyed the middle of it. A few months ago, I re-discovered this in a closet at my parents' house. I took some time, polished up the middle, did a little trimming, and now I'm actually quite fond of this so I figured I would show it off! Have a good winter season of collecting everyone!

Hello! I found this tiny fossil in Mercer County, New Jersey but I think its a glacier transport from New York. I noticed it had an intricate pattern so I was wondering if anyone knows what it is. Thanks! Frank

Hey everyone, I got this interesting mammal bone piece (about 3 inches across) that was found in an area with a glacier and no live animals around. Could it have originated from within the glacier or is it a modern bone? What type of bone is it and what animal did it come from? Thanks everyone!
