I'm interested in petrified wood for the scientific value (wood where the cell structure is well preserved), for the aesthetic value (mineralized with vivid colors and crystal shapes), and for oddities (like fungus, insect borings etc.) contained in the wood. Below are three petrified wood slabs, from the United States, from my collection. The below individual slab pictures were taken with the slabs dry, indoors using my camera with flash. The close-up pictures were taken with my Dino-Lite digital microscope. Petrified Wood, conifer, fungus Polyporites wardii, early Permian late

Hi all, I recently became aware that Madagascar appears to have a fully developed and interesting Mesozoic marine reptile record, yet am not particularly able to find any information on them. The only article I have come across is Bardet and Termier, 1990, "Première description de restes de Plésiosaure provenant de Madagascar (gisement de Berere, Campanien)". However, I've been unable to track this article down. As such, I was wondering whether anybody on TFF might have any information on them. Basically, I'm starting from scratch, so would be very interested in the clades of

What is this structure? a late Cretaceous fossil of Madagascar.
madagascar posted a topic in Fossil ID
From Madagascar. I don't know any other information. According to the fossil merchant, it's the Cretaceous. Length, width and height, 15, 12, 22. What part is it? -
This is a fossil from Madagascar. Mahazanga. I don't know the rest. Is it a vertebra? Or some other structure?

What is this structure? a late Cretaceous fossil of Madagascar.
madagascar posted a topic in Questions & Answers
May I ask you. What is the abnormal structure of this fossil? cancer? Teeth? trauma? This is a fossil from the province of Mahazanga, Madagascar. I don't know about other information. -
Hi guys, since my last post about a misterious creature from the Cambrian of China was unsolved (lol) here another easier guess: A friend of mine gave me this, undoubtedly an abelisaurine tooth, with a straight distal carina and lightly curved mesial one. The provenance of this tooth, as he claims, is the Maevarano Formation, or other cretaceous outcrops but surely from north Madagascar, but even if I trust him and he would have no reason to lie, I am not sure. Know it's only an assumption (read all the previous post about the indet. teeth) Have tried to as

This reminds me a little of some of the Madagascan Cleoniceras ammonites, but the sutures are... unusual. Somewhat rounded at the ends. It's 86x69MM approx. I'd appreciate any input.

Hello, I really need some help identifying what formation my Ammonite fossil is from. Its been dated to the Albian epoch and is from the Mahajanga province, Madagascar. Unfortunately nothing about it says what formation it could be from. I've done a bit of research and the closest formation to what I'm trying to find is the Ankarafantsika Formation. The problem is that, that formation is dated to the Cenomanian. Any help would be great! Here's a picture

Any idea if this bone is a dinosaur vertebra? It is from Madagascar but unfortunately no further information as to its exact locality/formation. The seller said the nerves are also preserved, is that so?

First of all, the list of fish found in Madagascar - there are more than 30 species! So many that I can't treat all of them (and I've never seen some of them). There is relatively old, but good literature on it - Lehman has written one of the most comprehensive publications on this subject: J.-P.Lehman (1952) Etude Complementaire des Poisson de L'Eotrias de Madagascar. Kungl. Svenska Vetenskapsakademiens Handlingar. Fjärde Serien Bd 2 No 6 (in French, 244 pages, 340MB!) Australosomus merlei Piveteau, 1934 is easy to recognize: Small

Hello TFF, I purchased this relatively inexpensive specimen at Mineralfest this past fall, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about it. The seller informed me it could possibly be from Madagascar, but was transparent in admitting that she couldn't confirm for sure. It was with other pieces of petrified wood that were brown, but I was drawn to this one due to the red hues. I think it's agatized, and it looks "glassy," although there are too many impurities to shine a cell phone light through it. One side is polished, and I put water on the rougher backside to show mor -

Hi people. I found this fish in the Malagasy mountains in 2014. I think it's a Piveauia madagascariensis Lehman, 1952 ?? To get to the site we have to walk in the mountains for 4-5 hours, depending on the site we want to visit, for me it was a fabulous period, not only for the fossils, but also for the discovery of the way of life of the Malagasy, the all those that surrounds it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021 !!

I saw this from an online store. It was said to be a toe bone of a dinosaur from Madagascar. It is pretty large, is it really a dinosaur toe bone?

I bought this cleonaceras ammonite a while ago. It’s 110 Million years old from Madagascar. It said it was filled with mud and when I was looking at it I saw many small fossils, some of these may be unidentifiable or even not fossils but I know some are and want to see if you guys can help narrow it down. Since they have been polished the inclusions on one side are not on the other here’s the ammonite, 6.9 inches the longest way 1. Gastropod? 2. Shell fragment? 3. Shell fragment? 4. Gastropod? 5. Gast
