Methodology of identification & Green Turqouise Stone
Cyberafrica posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals
Good Day, Excuse e for my ignorance,I’m still a novice and trying to learn as much as possible as do spend a lot of time outdoors studying rocks,pebbles & striata formation. Firstly,what would you recommend would be the quickest & best methodology to identify and compare types of stones to as an authority ve guide? I have found these two greenish/turqouise stones in a garden in Hampshire,UK,and would please require assistance in identifying them. PS I did clean them and the greenish colour is not moss or chlorophyll. Thank you in advance.

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!

Hey, all. Found a small boulder recently (clearly imported, so I don't have a locality of origin!) with a green mineral of uncertain identity. I'm hoping someone here will have a guess, because I thought it was really interesting and maybe a species I haven't seen before. The mineral's structure does look a bit layered in the one pic, but in person it really seemed too... not-that-layered... to be like any mica I'd seen before. Here's area of the rock with a lot of the green mineral: Close-up of large spot of the green mineral: Some scattered bits of the green mineral: Another area of the same boulder. Looks a bit different, so maybe it's helpful in IDing the type of rock it is.

I found this rock in the mountains of Taif in Saudi Arabia and it is plutonic origin and is pretty dense I would estimate 4-5g/cm3. The mineral is black and very shiny and under a modest microscope I can see interlocking columns of greenish black crystals. I used a strong neodymium magnet to see if it was magnetic and it was not magnetic which means it doesn’t contain the common metallic minerals. What could this mineral be?

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?

Found this in layer in north tx sedimentary layer where I find mica like soft crystals. a grayish layer with no rocks. Just slated looking gray dirt with occasional mica like soft crystals in it. is this possibly jade? Or jade like mineral or recommendations to look for id of this. Kinda out of place where I found and never seen this color of rock in Texas. mineral experts are much appreciated weighing in.

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

The very last unknown ID is this polished green slab. I'm looking for green stones on the web, but I still am not finding a slab like this one. If somebody could help?

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..

Hello everyone! Just wanted to say I enjoy geode hunting and spelunking. Interested in the search for precious gems and crazy formations!

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!

any ideas on this?

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 ?

I found this high up in the mountains of WYO. on a trip in the 70s. Its very hard. I did the copper test and the copper comes off on the surface of the mineral. I also did the scratch test. It is very very hard to scratch. Not sure I have scratched it. Its about 4 inches long by 2 inches wide.
