Hello dear fellow forum members, I see this burmese amber inclusion online and wonder, is it a feather with a peculiarly branching structure, or is it plant matter? size is about 4 mm length of the biggest part as far as I can tell . Thanks in advance, J

Rock about an inch long for perspective. Found in what seems to be cretaceous strata but may have broken off of carboniferous. Any ideas?

Found these in Romana, town: Anina. (Eastern Europe). The place is known for plant fossils and other such things. In an article, I saw a journalist say the fossils found there are Jurassic. Are these plant fossils, stems or just markings? I am bad at telling. If it is plant, do you know which one could it be? Bonus one: I am not sure if the order of the pictures will get messed up, but last few pictures I uploaded is a grey "slate" with something in the middle. What is that? If these are just rocks, pretend you've never seen this Thanks!

Hello everyone again! I have been gone for a few days and finally back to home base. As previously mentioned, I beyond a novice, but my fascinating level is pretty high. Here are two more items in the collection, and I have no idea what I am looking at (other than its neat!) Looking forward to identifying what I have here. Thank again everyone! Dan

Hello everyone! I'm glad to be a new member of the community. I purchased a treasure trove of fossils, arrowheads, petrified wood and other neat items. Problem is, I don't know anything about this subject. This will be the first of several, and I look forward to those with knowledge to help me out. Any thoughts on this one? It is the only one like it in the collection. Thanks! Dan

A Few Recent Finds at Penn Dixie, a shallow marine Devonian Site in upstate NY
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Super folks and fossils! I had a decent trip to Penn Dixie with the experts recently and thought I would share a few finds. The first is the lower third of a crinoid calyx. I measures 4 cm and has an intact stem attachment segment. Aside from stems, its the first decent crinoid part I have found since 2015. I am fascinated by the geometry of the echinoderm organization- 6 around the stem, them 12 around the next whirl, makes we wish I had the entire calyx.

Looking for suggestions for last minute hunt near Birmingham, AL
RandyB posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I will be traveling through the Birmingham Alabama area Thursday afternoon/Friday morning - 6/8-9. Looking online there seems to be a decent opportunity to look for road cut exposures and such in the area. I would be most interested in plant material if anyone has any suggestions though anything would work for a mini hunt. Any assistance would be most welcome. -

This is a fossil seed I got from the Hell Creek Formation (Montana) last year. Would you say this is a species of Marmarthia or some other plant?

Could anyone help me identify this plant material from the terrestrial Wealden Cretaceous of the Isle of Wight. Found east of brook bay in a plant debris bed. It’s about 2cm and has an odd spikey structure I haven’t seen before. Not like the pine cones commonly found around here. it looks to be a fragment of whatever it is.

Hello, I live in western Kentucky and work at a resort and marina on ky lake i always find small cylindrical fossils but today I found a giant cluster of them I figured it to be some kind of salt water plant but any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated
