Fossil ID - First Time Fossil Hunting at Turimetta Head, Sydney, NSW
fvgb40 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone, I'm a first time fossil hunter and I went up to Turimetta head north of Sydney with a friend to try our luck. We found a few things splitting shale, and I was wondering what exactly they were - I understand that they're all probably plant material, if they are fossils, but wasn't sure exactly what type of plant they were from. Hopefully someone can help. Thank you in advance! -
Unidentified Fossil From The Narrabeen Group, Sydney Basin, Australia
barkersaurus posted a topic in Fossil ID
Picked this strange looking item out of a gray mudstone/shale layer within the Narrabeen Group (second picture). Should be Triassic in age. It broke into 3 pieces as I removed it but inside was a beautiful arrangement of black, white and red minerals. It also has small round 'nodules' on the left part (seen as the small dark circles), and appears to have 'veins' on the right. Any thoughts on what it is would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Susan
