    Habra posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hey guys, we found this petrified bone? today at the baltic sea and we don"t know if it is a human bone or somerhing else.... It is about 3,2 cm long and 1,2 cm (0,6 cm) wide Please help us
  2. TRexEliot
    A recent find. Has a texture that could be bark, but I am leaning towards coral.
  3. TRexEliot
    Wasn't sure if this was petrified wood, or just anthracite coal from another location that had gotten lost in the brook. Seems to have bark on one side, but wasn't sure what to make of it.

    Hello. It is not possible to define this "scar". Length - 8 cm. Fragment of Carboniferous wood. I would be glad for any help. Thanks. Have a nice evening

    Fossils? Virginia. Help please

    G00dfella4024 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I found this while digging in my garden. Could someone help me and let me know if they can identify it. It looks like a three toed something possibly. This was the only green colored “rock” around. What do you think??

    Hello. I want to show you some examples from my collection. This is a Carboniferous wood. The preservation is not the best, but for me these samples are interesting for the presence of crystals of smoky and ordinary quartz on them. A sliver that has broken off from a larger fragment. There is more quartz than wood Perhaps a stem or stump - it is almost round in cross section. And thickly overgrown with crystals. Large flattened fragment; perhaps the first sliver was from it.

    These "rocks" were found in North San Antonio, Texas. I started to notice, repeatedly, this similar shape in different "rock". So I started collecting them and now have a large sample of these "rocks" all with this particular shape. I feel the shape is so oddly unique that this can not be a coincidence. The shape is almost identical in each "rock" regardless of size and composition. I was hoping you could explain what this phenomenon is and why or what these are, and why this same shape is so common in "rocks" of different composition? I look forward to your explanation. Thanks for your time.

    Good evening. A couple of days ago I managed to go to three places with petrified wood at once. These outlets are not nature reserves; most often, these are fields that are just cultivated, roads and natural outcrops of bedrock (gullies, ravines, etc.). The first place is a small field, as well as a forest protection strip near a spruce planting (it was just plowed up). On a country road, one can see the rock outcrops, in which the wood is hidden. Large cobblestones are also found in the root-bed, but more often these are small slates. Orange clay is a sure sign that the layer we need is emerging here. Nature is waking up. Another forest protection strip... And the first finds. These are fragments of petrified wood from the Carboniferous period; but after meeting with the tractor, these are most often fragments. It has been raining recently, so the wood is easy to find. Nature amazes with its beauty! A few more pieces of wood and it's time to go to second place. Sometimes fragments with smoky quartz crystals come across. Carboniferous outcrops. General view. A sample of wood - most of this place is exactly like that. The second place is another field, and all the roads that lead to it The finds are embedded right into the road. There are also many fragments of wood in the gully - they have even been washed. You don't have to turn off the road... A sample of wood - most of this place is exactly like these. The samples are highly silicified, the structure of the tree is almost not preserved; but light quartz is visible within this specimen. Perhaps grinding and polishing will make the specimens worthy of the collection. Third and last place on that trip. This is no longer a field, although they are here too; these are old quarries. According to rumors, there was once a lot of petrified wood here. On this trip we did not find any fragments - it was starting to rain and we had to leave; besides, from this place we could not take anything - too close to the reserve. Heaps of broken stone are everywhere. The bedrock occurs at an angle to the surface. General view. An old tool. In the pit, where the stone was once mined, now a tree grows. A couple of photos before leaving. We did not find a petrified tree in this place, but we picked up such a fragment in a nearby field. A lot of iron, a lot of quartz. That's all for today. Thanks for attention. Have a good evening.

    Hello. From a recent trip to the Perm-Carboniferous petrified wood, we brought back some very interesting fragments; nothing like this has come across before. Usually we find fragments of wood (chips), without knots, without a pronounced structure - just highly silicified, indeterminate fragments. But while this trip from a small area (just a couple of square meters), we collected several interesting fragments. This is a solid piece of the trunk with knots located at the same level. 7 knots. Another similar fragment, but split lengthwise. There are only 3 knots left, but a cavity with smoky quartz crystals has opened. I want to identify these findings. Having looked at the photographs and drawings, which depict Araucaria, I saw that the branches of this tree are arranged in "layers", i.e. on the same level. Why did I take Araucaria as a basis - in some literature, local layers are called Araucarian. I would be glad to receive any information. By the way, I have a similar trunk with knots on the same level - but it is from the Paleogene; much better preserved, replaced by chalcedony, and has 5 knots.

    Found this morel hunting in an area that floods and with the lack of rain in Minnesota I was able to access this area. I was thinking it is some kind of petrified egg? It was in central Minnesota. It is heavy as a rock and as hard as one. I am sorry for the pictures, I will post more detailed pictures as soon as I have access to a camera. For now though the only thing I can say is my ring is exactly 1" in diameter. Thanks everybody

    Bone or boned?

    LittleGeek1 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Not sure if they're fossilized bone or not. The do stick to my tongue. They're fairly dense and anywhere from 4 to 4½ inches in length.

    Eggs?

    B33zyD posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Found these in the woods in st. Clair County Alabama. they were in a coal deposit I dug up. very small deposit. filled a five gallon bucket with coal. they vary in size. I hope they are eggs. some have fragments of shell on them and some do not. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello! I've been to the main digging site in the Blue Forest of Wyoming a couple of times but would like to try a couple of other sites there. Does anyone have the directions to the other digging areas? Thank you!

    Petrified Wood with a bone?

    Nreekay posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hey Folks, My son and I found a bunch of petrified wood close to our house up here in Cochrane, Alberta. Could the piece next to the wood be bone? E&B

    Petrified Wood ID

    MacHoffman22 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I started collecting smaller chunks of petrified wood but sometimes find these larger chunks that I believe are also petrified wood. I would just like confirmation to make sure I am not misidentifying specimens.

    Caramel colored petrified "wood".

    Dale from Utah posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I recently found this fossilized example on the surface of the desert in east central Utah, Emery county, on the road to chimney rock. The caramel color isn't typical of the petrified wood that I've found before and I'm wondering if this might be another plant such as a palm, fern, cycad, or something else. Growth rings are present but are not particularly strong. The "sap" inside appears to have turned into a different type of mineral. The light green highlights on the surface are lichens and are not part of the stone. Any ideas as to what type of plant this is? Thanks.

    Petrified Wood - Carbonized?

    Nreekay posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hey Folks, We found this hunk this afternoon. Any idea why the piece of wood here in black is carbonized? It comes off when you rub it. Other pieces we found today are definitely fossilized, but this one is different. Any ideas? E & B

    I volunteer at school, and while volunteering, I discovered this with some kids while working on the school garden. We were digging and getting boxes ready for the planting season. It was an interesting day! Didn’t expect to find this at a school! Makes me wonder how old it is. Jared

    Fossilized wood

    Rothrockbc posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion

    Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in petrified wood and permineralized wood? Thanks!

    Fossilized heart?

    Shawna86 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Found in NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI, USA My mom and my nephew found this "rock" a few years ago. I was telling my mom about this group, she asked me to post this here. She's wondered for years if it could potentially be a Petrified heart, it has what appears to be valves on it. She doesn't know who she would contact to find out if it is a Petrified heart, so if anyone knows who to contact about this, we'd appreciate it. It weighs 1.92lbs. Thought you guys would think it was cool.

    Petrified or concretion?

    SunshineOnACloudyDay posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hey guys I found this in a dried up creek bed right above where a dam had been. The location was in Sandia, Texas. Very close to the mathis lake state park. I've done some research but I' be had it about 4 or five yrs now and would love an opinion from someone that has had experience in this field. I think it's a petrified peach half. What do y'all think?

    Is this fossilized honeycomb

    Stella posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I found this on a river bank in Louisiana. I've had it for years. I'm not sure what it really is. I would like to know though so I decided to ask this forum. Please help if you can. Thanks. compressor (1).zip
