1.4g translucent specimen measuring (mm) 16x15x10; one side presents an unbroken exterior, with slight remnants of sand, clay, and lignitic matrix. This material was recovered from the Malvern Clay Pits, east of Malvern, Arkansas. FTIR spectrum comparison of Claiborne amber to modern Shorea sp. resin points to the Dipterocarpaceae as a probable source for this middle Eocene-aged amber.© Kaegen Lau

This weekend I went again to the Baltic Sea coast. This time my target were Miocene deposits of lignite in the cliffs around Chłapowo. This is one of the cliffs I climbed in vain: because the only thing I found has nothing to do with Miocene - it is a piece of a crinoid stem, so most probably Silurian.

This is the most incredible piece of amber ever found. its so unbelievable, that nobody takes me serious when i post images of it anywhere. Facebook groups delete it and block me for posting fake fossils. its still attached to about a foot and a half of the original tree that the sap was secreted from. that in itself is very rare and one of a kind. this part that is wood, has high magnetic attraction. the fact that its included with creatures that have never been identified before, neither in amber or out is another unbelievable aspect of this piece. notice the two creatures in blue. bot

I've been reading about the potential for lignite to spontaneously combust, which has gotten me thinking a bit. It's mentioned in the Wikipedia page for Lignite, as well as in paper such as this: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010218002005539 I sometimes collect pieces of lignite from locations around the UK, if they preserve the shape and texture of the wood. Is there any risk of them suddenly bursting into flames? I'd have thought not, since I've never heard of such a thing happening, but then I suppose not many people collect these bits because they usua

Hi, i wish a good day for all of you. I've visited another new place where i could find miocene plant material in a ligniteous clay.It had rain for days there and the place is covered by vegetation, so i only looked on the border of a road and i found those two items. First photos are taken in daylight, others under a magnifying glass and artificial light. The scale is in centimeters. 1)

Announcing The First Ever Discovery In Tennessee Of Lignite Fossilized To "jet"!
Tennessees Pride posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
In september of 2013 a small piece of history was made in a Late Cretaceous formation here in Tennessee. In that month, I discovered a whole tree which had been fossilized to Jet! Jet is an organic mineraloid substance which is something of a rarity. Other organic mineraloids would be Amber and Pearl. A Mineraloid is something not technically a true mineral because it is derived from matter of an organic nature. In this case, this Jet could be described as a fossil, a mineraloid, or even a semi-precious gemstone. Our ancestors have had quite a long relationship with Jet which stretches back at- 45 replies

This specimen is late Cretaceous, formation is of marine origin. This perhaps could even be the central part of a depleted cone??? Pollen cone of some sort??? It has a hollow passing through it from end to end. It appears that it cracked somewhat and that surface area then filled in with sand.

This is a paleobotanical i have put the finishing touches on. It is extremely unusual for my area....the only one i actually know of. It simply isn't listed in any of prof. Berry's works, nor any later works by later botanists. It has been shown to 1 paleo botanist and 1 prof. of geology, neither gave me any feedback as to it's possible botanical source. It seems this one is pretty hard to i.d. The specimen comes from a late Cretaceous formation that is marine in origin, and very close to 80 mya. The source layer for this material appears to have been originally deposited as driftwood which in

"Petrified", permineralized, silicified wood from Triassic Newark supergroup in Pennsylvania. Probably Araucarioxylon; same genus as in Arizona Petrified Forest national park. Some specimens have dark lignite on surface. For scale: silver discs in photo are USA quarter coins (0.995 inch or 2.42 centimeters in diameter).
