On the afternoon of November 22nd 2013, in the middle of the pouring rain, i found this huge Amber specimen in a Late Cretaceous formation. Location unspecified. This is the current unofficial Tennessee state record. It broke the previous Amber state record which was also set by myself barely two months before finding this specimen. It's the size of a hamburger! The first state record was set by the late mr. Bruce Wade and stood for 99 years. I have been told this specimen is in the top 10 largest Amber specimens to ever be found in America. -

Another pic of Late Cretaceous Amber from the Sardis formation in Henderson county Tennessee. The largest specimen shown here is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. -

On september 20th 2013 i found this huge Amber specimen at an unspecified location, it is also Late Cretaceous. There have been 3 state records for Amber, i hold 2 of them. The first was set by the late mr. Bruce Wade. That record was surpassed by this specimen 99 years later. This specimen almost doubled the previous record. I have been told it is in the top 10 largest Amber specimens that have ever been found in America. -

Another view of a small selection of Late Cretaceous Amber from the Sardis Formation in Henderson county Tennessee. As noted already, the largest pictured specimen is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and a green amber. -

On September 16th 2013, i discovered this Late Cretaceous Amber in the Sardis formation in Henderson county Tennessee. It was the first of much Amber i have since recovered. The largest specimen pictured is about 11/2 inches in diameter. -
Last year i collected the following Late Cretaceous Campanian specimens from a lignite layer in Henderson co., TN that has proven itself to be special to me. This is my first and only whole cone....what a sweet lil'baby! Was thinkng A sequoia species, but lets see what the experts say, I treated it w/ a preservative because i had to, the lignite was partially replaced w/ marcasite which would have soon deteoriated if left untreated. The seed & seed pod i'm not sure go together, but the seed sure looks like it may fit in something like that....the seed also stunningly looks like a redwood

Coon Creek Formation Preliminary Survey 4/25/14
Tennessees Pride posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
On this day, a survey of the said formation was made by myself and the property owners. The potential of what is there is as vast as acreage. Many glorious and illustrious items are there waiting for the right time to be shown to the world! The property is so vast that no where near a 1/4 was inspected, and during which the actual outcrops were passed up for the most part,while trying to get an idea of "where to start." This truely is a geologist's paradise! briefly while @ one exposure, these specimens were recovered, i presume the small one to be a "baby" Baculites....sweet little dude. It' -
This paleo-botanic was recovered on April 6th 2014, i've just now been able to get to it & unwrap it, give a small prep, and am now waiting on it to cure a bit, then it will all be preserved and ready. This specimen is rather large. I'm pretty sure this is listed in prof. Berry's books, but there seem to be several there that are similar to one another, so, thought i'd put it in the i.d. section and see what you all think it is. It's Late Cretaceous material

Small Baculites Portion, Big-0 80 Pd. Ammonite, & A Couple Others.
Tennessees Pride posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Here's a portion of Baculites from a Coon Creek formation outcrop east of Selmer, Tn. Beside hwy. 64. Late Cretaceous. Maastrichian, around 72mya. -
Here is a interesting specimen of pet wood, found by myself in Dec of 2013. It's from the late Cretaceous, and i assume it is Palm wood. I've found other palm specimens, but not quite like this one. As,all other examples never had holes this large, about half the diameter of these holes or a fraction smaller than that. Is it Palm wood?

Another surprise dinosaur discovery in Utah: http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-new-dinosaur-siats-meekerorum-discovered-20131121,0,6885690,full.story As it turns out, geography could not impede the neovenatorids from spreading to North America. Given that Chilantaisaurus is also a neovenatorid and from the same hemisphere as Siats, it's therefore possible that Siats may be descended from some neovenatorid that left Asia and made it to North America via the Bering Straits because dino trackways1 and a tyrannosaur tooth from the Gallic epoch in Wyoming2 provide evidence for the e

These teeth are from an indeterminate sandstone layer within the Late Cretaceous Carlile (Turonian) Shale. Do you have any ideas on which fish they might belong to? ...

Stumped - Seed Pod? Rhyncholite? Chiton? Late Cretaceous New Jersey
non-remanié posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found these in the latest Maastrichtian, uppermost New Egypt fm. of NJ. Both pieces were basically found together which leads me to believe they are somehow related. I have never found anything else like it although I could have easily missed other similar objects since they are small and somewhat nondescript. The preservation reminds me of invert steinkerns found in the same layer. I thought these might possibly be pieces of some larger invert, but I have no idea what. And they really do look like 2 discrete structures instead of pieces of something larger. The local ammonite/invert -
I'd better post this before a new weekend arrives . Last Saturday, I got out to a "new" outcrop of Juana Lopez and Carlile Shale (Turonian). The day started out with another pharyngeal fish tooth (I still don't know what species)... ...followed by some awesome Prionocyclus (sp.) ammonites still in nodules... ...I was able to carry the smaller back to the truck, but had to return with a dolly for the larger (100+ lbs.)... ...after getting this big rock home and giving it a scrub, I decided to leave as is... ...I don't find many large nodules with the ammonite intact (or even vis

My friend found this in a stream bed in Monmouth Co., NJ. We like to look for sharks teeth on the gravel banks after heavy rains.Most fossils are late cretaceous period.
