Found this for sale somewhere, they are advertising it as a gar scale, but I don't think it is, although I could definitely be wrong. My first thought was maybe a scute of a crocodile, but I think that is also not it. Any ideas/ Thank you so much everyone in advance!

This is from the Eocene Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation in Utah. Any suggestions or anyone know if anything similar has been found?

The Green River Formation Collection of Nanotyrannus35
Nanotyrannus35 posted a topic in Member Collections
Here is a view of my green river formation collection. Most of these fish were found at @sseth's quarry, American Fossil. First up is my prize fish, a partial Eohiodon I also have this Priscacara that I've been on and off prepping. A piece of wood from the split fish layer. A partial Phareodus from the split fish layer A (i think fairly rare) stingray barb that had come out of the matrix A Knightia that also has a partial crocodile tooth in the matrix that I had removed. And a view of the whole collection

Looking for information on pressures and temperatures present during typical fish fossil formation. My most recent fossil is from the Green River formation in Wyoming. I know there are some generalized guesses out there but I'm looking real numbers and a description of how those numbers were arrived at or calculated. Thank you.

A Cautionary Tale of Snow, Mud and Bear Tracks in Colorado
Crusty_Crab posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Making the most of the last of my unplanned leave from work, I decided to make a trip to the Eocene Upper Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation in Colorado. Unfortunately, the road was not plowed and there was isolated patches of snow on the ground: I decided to walk the 5 miles to the site anyway through snow, slush and mud., although other parts seemed clear and pleasant Mostly, it looked like this though. I didn't count on the extra effort it takes to walk through hilly landscape with slush and mud, which made the walk seem longer than it was. The payoff for the trudge was..

I was fiddling around with my photo program and look who turned up!

Hey all, I've got a beautiful plate from Green River containing two Priscaceras. The stone itself however is kind of ugly, and I'd like to at least egalize the colours of the stone if possible. Would that be possible, and how could I do that? How about slightly scuffing the stone itself?

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to fossil preparation and want to try on a Green River knightia fossil. I'm in Canada though and have no idea where to find unprepped fossils of any kind. I feel like this is something I'd actually be good at as a hobby to get me through some winter blues. I've been obsessed with fossils since I was 3. Does anyone have an idea of where I might find unprepped Green River specimens? Thank you!

Hello. This is ammonite what I have. It from Germany from Upper Jurassic. I do not know the detailed place name. What's this scientific name?
-
hello and i thank you for your opinions and i welcome your admiration of this beautiful find. can you identify it? do you see the "chop" marks in the green crust? they appear all the way around the bone. the first picture, it is wet on a sunny day - the others are dry on a cloudy day. it weighs 8 pounds. it is 8 inches wide and about 6 inches tall and 6 inches deep. i found it digging in denton - i landscape - most likely fence posts or plants - i dont remember - what i do remember is i had it for years before i recognized that it was a bone...when i grabbed it i thought i grabbed a green rock, which was fine with me. years later i found it again in a pile of stuff, so i washed it off and low and behold....its a bone. some time later i picked it up again and noticed it had chop marks or looks like chop marks and i also noticed that the chop marks are all the way around. am i wrong ? oh yeah, i dont know what animal this bone comes from - any ideas ?

Merry Xmas everyone!!! To celebrate this long-awaited holiday, how about we showcase some fossils linked to it? It can be anything: a fossil that you got for Xmas, found on Xmas day, or a fossil that reminds you of something "Xmassy". Explain why! I'll start off: Orthosphinctes desmoides (?) Gräfenberg, Germany Grafenburg Formation, Kimmeridgian, Jurassic I got this gorgeous double-ammonite piece from my parents for Xmas yesterday! Also, although you can't see it very well on the picture, the ammonites have a nice dark green color thanks to the glauconite that they are made of (similar color to a Xmas tree)!
-
A nice block of ammonites from the Gräfenberg quarry. Although not very visible on the pictures, the ammonites are actually of a nice dark green, thanks to the glauconite present.

What kind of rock...interesting green caught my eye...haven't seen another like it near by
-
Does anyone know what kind of rock this is? It is about 1 to 2" long, about 1" wide, aND 1/8" thick. Medium green in color with subtle white and bluish striations. Appears semi porous, no shine, not beach glass. Small white fossil embedded. This is my first post. I live part time near the northern tip of North Topsail Beach, NC and found this stone there. I have found many shark's teeth, ray ramps, and what I believe to be fossilized bone fragments there. I hope to be a worthwhile, contributing member eventually. In the meantime, I plan t learn from you. Thanks.

Hello all. Its been a long time since I have had the chance to do fossil hunting after the hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. Floods, contaminated waters, power outtages have made it very difficult. Anyway, I took a vacation and found this for a resonable price at an antique store. This would be my first insect fossil as well as my first fossil from the green river formation. It is labeled as: Fossil Fly Eocene Epoch 38-55 millions years old green river formation wyoming i am wondering if the identification is correct and if it is possible to know more information on the piece. Sorry I do not have a ruler for scale. Thank you!

I found this odd greenish piece a couple of weeks ago while walking down the North Sulphur River near Ladonia TX. Size is a couple of inches across the widest section and 3-4 inches tall.

Hi! Usually I'm pretty good at identifying crystals or minerals but this one I cant quite figure out. So a friend of mine is convinced its green calcite, another says green tourmaline however, I feel it's low grade epidote. Either way I'm at a loss. Who's right? Lol Ive taken normal photos and macro of some of the crystals. The crystal is also wet from a quick rinse. any help is greatly appreciated

Help with Knightia fossil.
ynaffit posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I'm a beginner with fossils and recently purchased a Knightia fossil for 50 New Zealand dollars. When I got home I took a look and noticed it appeared painted. I've researched and apparently people often paint over to enhance it and make it look better. The question is, is it fake? I don't mind if it's painted over for looks but I will be disappointed if it's completely fake. Has to be painted, now I'm just wondering whether it's a genuine fossil or not

Hi all found this construction site next to canal love the green what is it?
-
Need help identifying this fossil. Green River formation. Parachute Creek member. Douglas Pass, Colorado. Radar Dome location. The specimen is 5/8" across. This is the best I can do for a photograph until I can get a macro lens. (or learn how to take better photos) I have tried many different settings and lighting, but I can't seem to get a better photo. Thank you for your help.
