My husband and I like to go on walks along the wooded dirt trails behind our home. Last winter, we stumbled upon a particular stretch of path. It was constructed using refractory bricks smack dab in the middle of the woods. It wasn’t until recently when we decided to revisit the area. One does not simply stumble upon an old brick path in the middle of the woods. It had to have once led somewhere. We did, in fact, find an old stone well nearby. Across from the well, there’s the foundation of a house that’s nothing but rubble. I also found an A&W Root Beer can amongst the rubble. It was the 1968 to 1995 A&W logo. Most of the bricks were branded, but I could hardly make out the wording. The name Louis was clear as day on quite a few of the smaller fragments, but the more intact bricks had lettering that was harder to read. I managed to find a single brick that wasn’t so weathered. I knelt down to read what was branded on it, but this little coral fragment caught my attention. It was wedged between the bricks in the center of the path, almost as if it were placed there intentionally. I don’t see how else it could have gotten there. After further inspection, the coral (a honeycomb coral) appears to be fused to an unidentifiable species of mollusk. Fossilized oysters and clams are common finds in my area, but this is the first fossilized coral I’ve found. FullSizeRender.MOV

Branchiosaurus (Apateon pedestris) specimen
Owl_Roker posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello Fossil Folks, I am considering bidding on the below Branchiosaurus (Apateon pedestris) specimen. Description says it is from the Permian Period (c. 290.1–283.5 Ma)—recovered in Germany. What is your take on the (1) authenticity and (2) prep work? If you have seen similar specimens, how does this one compare in terms of overall quality? Thanks, Robert- 35 replies

cf Paralegoceras sp Ammonoid (Synonym Metalegoceras) Timor Permian (298.9-251.902 million years ago) Data: Metalegoceras is an extinct genus of marine cephalopods belonging to the family Schistoceratidae. This species have been found in the Permian of Australia, Canada, China, East Timor, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Oman, Russia and United States. This belongs to the order Goniates. Goniatids, informally Goniatites, are ammonoid cephalopods that form the Order Goniatiida, derived from the more primitive Anarcestida during the Middle Devonian some 390 million years ago. Goniatites (goniatitida) survived the Late Devonian extinction to flourish during the Carboniferous and Permian only to become extinct at the end of the Permian some 139 million years later.
