I found this fossil plant in North Attleboro, Massachusetts and was wondering if anyone knew the species. For me it seems to be either Sphenopteris, Eremopteris, Karinopteris, or Mariopteris. It definitely could be something else.

Hello, just recently I did my first fossil hunting at Turimetta Beach Sydney around the exposure of Triassic shale. I found a nice dicroidium fossil I think (after seeing some similar posts from this location) and two more which I'm unsure of the species (picture below and sorry one is without scale). Any ideas would be appreciated of what species or plant group these two fossils are from which look very much like a leaf or stem stem structure. Thanks!

Found this in Goshen Oregon, not sure what formation it falls under, I have only heard it referred to as North Goshen Flora. I have read it has been dated to the Late Oligocene. Wondering if anyone recognizes what it could be. I know Pinus, Quercus, Hydrangea, Acer, Plantanus, Cinnamomum, and Sassafras have been identified in the formation, perhaps it is a seed or flower from one of those? Thanks for any help. Please be kind, I'm new and just looking to learn.

Found this slab of limestone digging out an old garden wall. I think it’s a large plant or small tree, approximately 15 inches long and 3-4 inches across. Not much detail visible in either end. Any help?

Hello everyone, I’ve found this fossil in Nova Scotia, on the shore of Cobequid Bay. I can’t tell if it’s a plant or a fish fossil. I believe it’s a plant. I’ve done some google searches and haven’t found anything that looks like it! would love your help in identifying it

Any ideas? My first thought was reptile dermis but probably more like some kind of fan plant closed up. Clearfield County PA.

Hi! I found this oddball fossil on Caspersen Beach in Venice, Florida. It’s nearly 2 1/2” long with serrations on two sides. It’s got my curiosity up.

Hi again. Today I would like help with these two very similar fossils I found in Lyme Regis UK many years ago. They seem to be Mudstone from what I'm learning and have many boring worm holes on the outside of the rock. The inside has triangular patterns with ripples which resemble plant forms. Any help with a name would be much appreciated, so I can properly record my collection now. Thanks, Jes.

Hello everyone, and hope you've all had a good day so far. I am currently having a break after putting most of my bookcase together. Here are some fossil plants found in the Triassic layers of the Sydney Basin I would like identified if possible. As before, I would like the most specific identification possible, but don't mind genus or clade names if they'd be more accurate. I know the general location for these, so don't worry about that. If you need more photographs for a proper identification, I can take more in a couple of hours or tomorrow. Specimen 1: Shale plant fossil This fossil was found by a friend in the shale rock layer in the Northern Beaches region. This makes it Triassic in age. I read this document (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gregory-Retallack/publication/241677571_Geological_excursion_guide_to_the_sea_cliffs_north_of_Sydney/links/55d2119008ae0b8f3ef776a9/Geological-excursion-guide-to-the-sea-cliffs-north-of-Sydney.pdf) and after comparing the plant to various images on the document, I came to the conclusion that the plant was a specimen of the seed fern Dicroidium. Is this an accurate identification? Specimen 2: Plant Assortment This assortment of various plant fossils was found by another person I used to know in the Sydney Basin. I assume it is Triassic, as the vast majority of exposed sedimentary rocks in Sydney are of that age, although it might be Permian. I do not know the exact region. There seem to be multiple different plants on the slab, and they seem to be more poorly preserved than the shale layer plant. Does anyone know what they are? Also, do any of you have any tips for getting better images? If I take any more, I'll probably use my SLR camera, as my phone's camera is terrible. Thanks for the help! Edit: Changed the title to make it more obvious this is a new thread.

Found this about 40 years ago on the shores of lake Huron (in Sarnia) and have always wondered what the fossils were - are they plant or animal? Anyone able to assist? Many Thanks

Hello Members, Greg from Western Washington. I am new to The Fossil Forum. Started collecting rocks a couple of years ago when I was beach combing looking for colorful rocks to tumble and display. My interests became focused when I continued to come across examples of bones and coprolite creating the urge to pursue the next best fossil find. Many questions linger for an inexperienced amateur. 1 - Why has only one Dino from the Jurassic Period been found in Washington State ? 2 - Are fossils found with all their original pigmentation intact ? 3 - Does meat fossilize ? Does Succulents plants fossilize? 4 - Washington law states that any Vertebrate fossils found belongs to the state and is unlawful to keep? Maybe I read or interpreted this wrong. Makes you not want to post photos of any finds. In two years, I have found examples of all which I have questioned. I believe Dinos did exist in Western WA as I have found fossil both pre and post Jurassic.

Hello to all. Please help me identify this branch. It was found on the banks of the Kremenchug reservoir in Ukraine. This is a large reservoir, which is adjacent to three regions. It is difficult to determine the age - water erodes the layers from the Neogene period to the Jurassic. Thank you!
