is it possible that the fossil mosses such fresh-looking
qinxingyuan posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
According to the author(https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0802501105) the fossils are persevering in moss peat, but not mention how to separate the mosses from the matrix- 1 reply

I keep soil, rocks, tree parts, etc. in jars. This particular jar started with a piece of wood with a small amount of moss on it, and two rocks. This was all put in the jar about 6 years ago. Throughout the years these sea urchin looking things have grown. Any idea what they might be or who would be a better contact?!

Hi all! Found in Lansing, NY near Cayuga lake in a drainage wash out but I do not recognize it as a native stone or coming from the formations that I've seen over the past 6 months. I've been on the fence about posting this as I wasn't sure it was a fossil but after getting some decent macro photos, I'm seeing some curious details and I am not sure if this could be a coral or bryozoan colony of some sort or another amazing example of geological wonders. We had major flooding last year, creeks and streams broke their banks, and I found this stuck in a pile of tree trunks 3 feet above the normal water levels. This area is known for Devonian fossils and this doesn't look like anything in my guide books for the area. Thank you for your time. It's a big beast, I have one photo with scale for total size. I apologize in advance for not having scale on the macro photos. Need to work on that. Edit: I tried to enhance the photos with contrast and removing yellowing from my phone camera. Please let me know if it looks good or if I've over done the contrast, etc., Thank you!

I picked this up at the flea market. He told me it was petrified moss...which I dont think it is. Im thinking coral but I wasn't able to find the answer after some research. Its from Arizona and was collected in 1968 and its jurassic in age. Pretty cool fossil.

I am trying to find an easier way to effectively remove green and black lichen from the exterior and crevasses of rock I've collected. Soaking it and using a needle does work, but causes damage to delicate specimens. Does anyone know of a chemical or technique that truly gets the stuff to let go easily?

I'm a few weeks away from filming my first major science video and it's about moss. I've already secured a few other live specimens for the video, but one moss has eluded me... Moss of the genus Dawsonia are the largest mosses on earth, growing to 50cm in height. I'd like to present this moss in person in the video, as it is a very odd moss that doesn't follow the same exact biology of other smaller mosses, instead of using photos like all the other YouTube science videos do. This moss will also join the rest of my collection and help teach students about plants as part of my museum project. Does anyone know where to obtain this moss or its spores? The moss is native to New Zealand and is, as far as I know, not really grown by anyone outside of the country. Thanks!

Well this was my 5th time going to GMR and GMR has never been to good to me. Everytime I went i would find broken, worn, and just terrible teeth. This time was just pure Awesome! I woke up at 7 sharp and my mom was on the computer looking at the forcast......NOT GOOD. But eventually we left and it cleared up! As we arrived we checked 5th street and wow....Not good it was deep! then we drove over to 10th street and it was still bad. Mom was afraid of the water and the trash on the bank so she decided to sit in the car I put on my leg waders and jumped in! It was up to my thighs and was not a bad temperture. i Build a make-shift sifter stand in the water out of cement blocks and bricks in the stream because I did not have pool noodles on my sifter. I was excited and put my first shovel in my screen and saw the usual gmr broken goblins and belemites. After a couple of screens later i found a nice porbeagle shark tooth, then after an hour of nothing good at all i found a mosasaur tooth (i think). Then about 30 minutes later i scored my first great white shark tooth ever! When i was digging i saw a huge tooth on the side of my shovel and it was so close to falling off! luckily I put the shovel full of gravel in my sifter and yanked it out. Wow it was a complete, all serations intact, tip intact, and a full root. The root is choclate brown, And the blade is blue with some tan stained into it. what a day. Thanks gmr!
