    Pennsylvanian Tooth-Shaped Fossils

    Hello! I think I've just about tapped out most of my local hunting spots. Yet a week ago I found a couple fossils that look like teeth. Please let me know what you think. They are 1.5 cm wide by 1 cm long, Pennsylvanian (Carboniferous), Glenshaw Formation and from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
  2. Hello! I am a newbie fossil hunter, and I am asking for some ID help. My son and I visited the Kinzers Formation near Lancaster, PA , to look for fossils in the Cambrian shale. We didn't find much, which seems consistent with peoples' experiences recently, but did find traces of something that we haven't been able to positively identify. The attached photos of the specimen come from a piece of shale the we split. There's a radial pattern of darker flecks on the left side of the rock, each about 1 cm long. The tape measure is next to a longer, darker shape about 1 cm wide and about 6.5 cm long (although broken off on the right). Hopefully these pictures are helpful, but I can get out my SLR if more detailed pix would be helpful. Thanks for your thoughts!! Kerry
  3. Yesterday me and my apprentice @ChasingGhostsYT scouted out some Kinzers localities in Lancaster with great success! Here are some of are finds. Top to Bottom. Mesonacis sp. (first one In my collection and the first one I’ve ever collected partial or complete) Both sides of the Mesonacis little Olenllous sp. both sides of the Olenllous sp.

    Calamite or leaves fossil?

    Now the area I've been fossil hunting is carboniferous Pennsylvanian but another timeline might be there due to the petrified wood. But won't know anything till geoscientist gets back to me on results. My first guess was a calamite fossil but now unsure. The neat part is whole fossil is iron preserved way. Next thing was the oddities in the fossil itself I couldn't add up for a simple calamite looking fossil. It probably is just a calamite but need to double check and maybe it's just a specific area of a calamite? Let me know thanks.

  7. There was one particularly unwelcome visitor to the NJ Fossil Show parking lot this past August. I didn't know what it was at the time and followed it around the parking lot for a few minutes before I could get this pic of it. It's a clumsy flyer and displays a bright red abdomen as it flies. It is the Spotted Lanternfly, a true bug, a hemipteran and is potentially one of the most damaging invasive species to arrive on US shores. They drain the sap out of trees and while their main food source is/has been another invasive species, the tree ailanthus (Tree of Heaven- its a tropical looking tree seen on the sides of highways in the NYC area and elsewhere), here in the US they are attacking many plants of vital importance! Spotted Lanternflies have little or no natural enemies here in the US and are multiplying at an alarming rate. The invasion started in Pennsylvania and is quickly radiating outward. I can't give all the details here but look it up, it is bad. https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/terrestrial/invertebrates/spotted-lanternfly https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lanternfly-invastive-species-pest-united-states-kill/

  10. I've been looking for this sponge fossil for quite a while. This is the first one I've found. Even though the name is sunflower Coral it is a sponge not a Coral.

    Pennsylvania’s Carboniferous Fauna

    I am seeking info on Pennsylvania’s Carboniferous plant fauna. The ID plates I currently have access to are ok, but lack info beyond ferns. I have been digging a coal hillside in the Llewelyn Formation, and exposed some cool pine cone and seed pod like material (attached), and I’d like to learn species name and background information. 1.Pine cone sides 2. Cone up close 3 Seed Pod

    Olenellus getzi and Olenellus (Paedumias) yorkensis

    From the album: My Kinzers Formation Fossil Collection

    Here’s a beautiful double trilobite plate I recently split out. Neither of the trilobites are particularly large, around 2 cm, but they are fully matured. The pleura of both trilobites are still buried under a thin layer of rock, and I’ll be sure to reupload this awesome piece after some careful prep.

    Red hill fossil trip

    Some finds from the red hill fossil site. Please note this site is closed to the public and you need a permit from the government to collect here. The fossils are super fragile. I have a Hyneria tooth but it’s drying from being glued. Some of the rocks are green and interesting. Not sure what elements are at play. Hyneria lindae scales Megalichthys mullisoni scales A mystery fossil that came from the same Megalichthys mullisoni body as the scales and tooth Megalichthys mullisoni tooth with jaw mystery scale plates - any ideas on what belongs to who? Mystery plant stems - any ideas ?

    Keyser Limestone fossil ID

    I recently started researching the Keyser Limestone Formation to try to get identify some fossils I found a few years ago. I was able to make out a few genera but there are limited resources on the Keyser/Tonoloway so I could use some assistance on this one in particular. Bryozoan is my guess. Edit: Found near Altoona, Blair County, PA - Either Pridoli-Lochkovian or strictly Lochkovian. I don't know if Machaeraria whittingtoni (a brachiopod found on the same rock) is found in a certain period of time? I found pictures of it online that were from the Lochkovian in Tennessee.
  18. Hello everyone, I just got back from collecting some fossil sites in Pennsylvania yesterday. Among these was a Catskill Fm. site, while the fishy finds there weren't particularly plentiful, I did manage to find some other interesting stuff. While there I found these rocks which have unevenly spaced lumps scattered across the surface, on the other side the position of the lumps corresponds with round impressions in the rock. I initially thought this may be something like a layer full of concretions but with the dips on the other side of the rock I was wondering if it may be some kind of ichnofossil? If anyone has any ideas as to what this may be, I'd love to hear it, Thank you for looking! In the field: A closer look at the sample I took with me:
  19. Hello, I was digging in my garden today and found something that seems to be bone, but seemed heavier than what I would expect bone to be. My first thought was that it's a fossil, but there's a flat side that seems to have been cut by some tool, so I'm guessing that makes it really unlikely to be a fossil, but I wasn't sure. I'd love to even know if anyone knows what animal it came from, and what bone it is. It was found in eastern Pennsylvania, USA; zip code 19343. It's about 9cm long, and weighs 78 grams. One side has a bowl-shaped hole. Thanks for any help in this ID!
