From the album: Pioche Formation
Two uncommon bugs, if only it weren’t just the cranidium! The orytocephalites cranidium is truly miniscule, it's located towards the bottom of the screen in the center - underneath the larger ptychopariid molt piece. -

Opalized Fossilized Spruce Limb
Royal peacock opal mine posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Miocene Spruce tree limb -Conifer Found in Virgin Valley, NV Humbolt County Museum This Spruce branch was buried in conditions that prevented it from rotting out at all, instead it was fossilized where it sat for who knows how long until the hydrated ash (Si02 Nh20) worked itself down whatever it could get through (or some say the silica gel was forced up from all the geothermal activities) finding cavities along the way to call home for the next X amount of years. this piece was donated for the reason that there was barely anything on display.

From what I’ve seen on FF this looks peccary. Many people have told me it’s not. IMG_1031.MOV

Hi all, Recently was able to finally locate a new site to check out with a friend of mine. Not much float but we did end up finding these two pieces. Any ideas on the two bones in matrix? The one I’m assuming is a metapodial of some sort and the other looks familiar I just can’t place it. As for the mandible section, I couldn’t be any happier. I believe it belongs to Tomarctus, but I’m open to feedback on that. as always, thank you for looking.

Unidentified Miocene Bones from Tonopah, NV. Possibly a Artiodactyl?
ConnorR posted a topic in Fossil ID
So I bought a completely unidentified fossil the other week because it looked cool. All I know about it is that the seller said that it's from Tonopah, Nevada, and the matrix appears to be a tuffaceous sandstone. According to my research, this points to the fossil being from the Siebert Formation, around the middle Miocene. I'm leaning toward some kind of artiodactyl, assuming that the bones on the right are metatarsals or metacarpals.
