Hey new member, Found this fossil at work. It is in shale rock and there is what appears to be ferns through the layers. There have been a fair few big and small. Found in Queensland Australia
-
I found this piece in my back yard a couple of years back and I still don't know what it is. It is Pennsylvanian, Glenshaw Formation and from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Thanks in advance for all help.

One of the nice things about collecting Mazon Creek concretions is that most specimens don't require any prep - they open up and are good to go. This however was not one of those cases. This concretion exploded during freeze thaw last year into hundreds of pieces, and on most pieces the fossils were still covered by sections of shale. It took around 25 hours in total to reassemble the concretion and prep out what wasn't exposed. Big thanks to Kris @Ptychodus04 for helping to finish the prep work. This is a large frond of the rare fern Mariopteris nervosa. And if that wasn't enough, there was a second layer to this concretion, containing more plants and an opisthosoma of the horseshoe crab Euproops danae. A lot more work than is usually necessary, but well worth it in the end.

Carboniferous Arthropleura, plants, insect wing...!
oscarinelpiedras posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
That day was so exciting, because I found a really nice specimen of Mixoneura wagneri fern, a specie that isn't very commoon in the area. And the color is... I had the luck of found some Arthropleura armored pieces too (I have to clean and glue them) and a small part of a cockroach wing. Terrestrial fauna are very rare in Spain... I found It on a restored coal mine from upper Carboniferous, Stephanien B of NW Spain.- 6 replies

Hi! I am new here, my name is Óscar and I am a spanish boy (16 years old) that are interested in paleontology, I like specially flora remains he he. Here I have a unidentified fossil from the Carboniferous period, Stephanian B of NW Spain. Terrestrial environment. Could any body say me what could It be? They are two different specimens, and they are incomplete, but they remind me of a bract, since in the large specimen a more elongated area is attached to something else that idk what is It, but it's from the same specimen, in the small specimen you can also apreciate It but bad preserved. Both pieces are the same type of fossil. There are many Aphlebias and Lepidocystis asociated in the area. Thanks you! ^^

On first inspection I thought it was just some sort of man made goop but it is fossilized and on the side looks a little like some sort of bryozoan I had seen pics of online..... so goop or bryozoan?
