I found this at a man made lake, so there was alot of deep digging in order for them to make the lake. Lake Miramar is in San Diego but a little north east of the metropolitan area.

Hi! I found some rocks with shell imprints in a creek in Tompkins county, NY, USA. I understand that the fossils found there are usually from Devonian period. My guess is that it is a brachiopod. If yes, is there a way to out more precisely what kind, and to narrow its age? I have a very sketchy knowledge about the subject so any help is appreciated. Thanks! 1.

So when I found the encrusted bivalve, I found this in the same roadcut in what I believe is Bethany falls limestone in Kansas City. It has define spikes/spines/other with softer margins and I simply don't know. there are no other complete fossils near it but there is this imprint-whatever that is ?? Any help or thoughts, as always, appreciated! Thanks! Bone

Again from my "museum". This one was found in Warren county outside St. Louis and as close as I could tell at the time, it appeared to be an imprint of a "tusk shell". Guess it could also be curved nautaloid? Haven't changed that opinion, but haven't advanced my knowledge as much as I should have either! Thanks for any thoughts!! Bone

It has it all around it an on the ends this one was mostly covered. It might be 2” long an half inch tall on ends an almost a inch tall at tallest point for size. Some shell it looks. I found it in my aunts flowerbeds she had bought rock in 1969 to cover 7 beds. So when I weeded them I'd dig out interesting ones. She's had the same rocks since then. She'd have the rocks cleaned an put back . Kodak, TN. I thought it was the most interesting one. Thought to share. Thank you.

Hi, my sister found this on the beach of Hunstanton, Norfolk last year whilst on holiday We are unsure on what it is, but we think it may be an imprint of some kind of anemone or coral, not sure though The whole rock is concave and about 4.5cm across I will attach a close up of the pattern in the replies

Heyo! Found on the river banks of Humber river in Toronto, Canada I came across this rock this weekend and I was not sure if it was anything special or just a peculiar shaped rock. After some hesitation I decided to pick it up just in case. It has a very distinct wave looking shape to it and the texture on the 'wavy' surface seems rather fossil-esque but I wasn't sure as the cross section doesn't seem to show much of anything. If I had to take a guess I would say its either a coral or maybe its an imprint of some-kind? Let me know what you think If its anything worth keeping or just random rocks: /\ These two pictures show the general shape and size of the piece. /\ These two pictures show the close-up texture on the surface of both sides. /\ This is the side/cross section. Thanks for the help! -Em

I found this years ago as well. I cant remember exactly where. I think maybe by the lesser slave lake area. There is some kind of imprint on the rock. Does anyone know what it is from?

I'm a fairly novice preparator and I was wondering if some of you more experienced folks could help me out a bit. I am working on a dipleura that unfortunately broke apart upon extraction. Some fragments of the pygidium were lost. I have the imprint and was considering casting the missing parts in plaster or something ideally reversible. My goal is to turn this fossil into a nice display piece. There are also some large voids in the matrix I would like to fill in. I've never done anything of this sort to a fossil before and I was hoping for some guidance on materials, techniques, etc. I have attached a couple of photos of the areas I would like to repair.

Does anyone have any fossils of, or with anomalocaris BODIES? I'm interested in seeing what they look like. I did searches for them and they all look so random, without any features except for the overlapping ends. Even the beautiful full-animal fossils have bodies like that. Did they always fossilize so unimpressively?

I live in Utah, which I have heard is a hot bed for Fossils. I love to collect rocks, but I don't really know anything about fossils. I was at a cabin a while ago and found this rock on the ground. The cabin was in Weber canyon (Trying to be specific for forum rules) and it was found relatively near a river. The rock has a perfectly shaped oval, egg shaped imprint on it. I don't know if its an egg but I't going to refer to it as the "egg imprint". As you can see the outline of the egg is dark, and then the inside is a lighter brown. The rock is really hard but the place where the actual egg imprint The rock is a different material that isn't as hard and has a more grainy feel to it. The rock itself is very interesting besides the egg imprint. It was very unique patters in it all around that I've never seen before in a rock. It looks like something that would have a fossil in it, something really old (but lets be honest I have no idea). In terms of weight, the rock is lighter than it looks. It's not exactly light by any means, but actually feels lighter that you would think it would be. Also if your looking at if from the side it is different colored at the top where the imprint is. Its almost as if someone painted the top. It appears to me that maybe that was a layer of mud or something? Due to the VERY annoying image size constraint on the forum I could barely show any of the rock but i did my best to show you what i was talking about. this is the imprint itself. The egg is about a inch and a half by an inch (not very big) this is another view of the imprint with the side showing where it starts to get lighter (so frustrated i couldn't show more) this is what the backside looks like (cool rock patterns all over) and this is just a closer view at part of the imprint itself My guess is that this is some type of bird egg that fell into the mud and then fossilized. But maybe it isn't anything at all, but I've been obsessively perplexed with it and I would love for someone to share their knowledge and opinion with me. thanks!!
