Found a large amount of these up in the mountains in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, near Laguna de Magdalena, approximately 3,200 meters above sea level. Immediately assumed it was a type of coral, especially considering the area was at the bottom of the ocean 300+ million years ago. Does any one have any idea what this is? Is it in fact coral? Any idea what kind, if so?

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the prepping world and have a couple of questions that hopefully you can help me with. I have a number of Pennsylvanian aged plant imprints that I found and I am wondering if there is any prep work that needs to be done to keep them in pristine condition. As of now I have not done anything to them. These fossils are on dark gray slabs of shale and are a bit hard to see without proper lighting. Questions: 1.) Is there a way to highlight the imprints on the dark shale to make them stand out more? They're a similar color to the shale and are hard to see without lighting. 2.) Is there anything that should be done to help preserve these imprints over time? For example, should these fossils be coated in anything to help preserve them, or am I okay leaving them as is? As always thanks for the input!

These are from the jalama beach area in California from what I know. A colleague found these a few years ago. I know the beach has fish fossils but are plant fossils common?

This is carbonized plant material from the Selma Chalk formation, central Alabama. It is not uncommon to find terrestrial "driftwood" but this is the first time I have found what appears to be a fruiting body. There is a vertical center with radiating structures. Reminds me superficially of a proteaceae but I have no background on the subject. Any paleobotanists out there? s

Hello everyone, I found these rocks at the base of a sedimentary-layered cliff by the beach of Port Waikato in New Zealand. They look like they have plant-like fossil imprints on them. Any idea what they could be? Thanks, Jay

Hi everyone, I was hunting today (finally ) and among a lot of rudists and gastropods I found this. It is from late cretaceous period, and I found it a few meters away from the place I found this Araucaria few months ago (even those are marine sediments): Could this be part of the same fossil or is it geological? Again I have a problem uploading pics, so I will put links. Thanks! Greetings, Mona

Hi I bought a lot (from an auction) of different minerals and a few fossils and there one I can’t find in any of the books I’ve got. So I was hoping someone in here could help me out. It goes without saying that I haven’t found it myself, so I can’t tell you where it’s from. It’s 12x6 cm (that about 4.7x3.65 inches) And that’s pretty much all I can say. ((I’d also appreciate if anyone’s got advice about cleaning it a bit more!)) Thanks Jack

A few more pictures from the pit. It first I thought trace tubes but now after cleaning I'm not sure. There is texture and segmentation everything is now pyrite

With winter in New England fast approaching, I decided to spend the afternoon at Cory's Lane in Rhode Island. I found a number of Pennsylvanian aged plant imprints, but one plate of Neuropteris imprints has me stumped. This plate has a mystery object in it (A mystery to me at least). The long imprint going down the middle of this plate looks like an imprint of a stick, but I had thought sticks didn't preserve well in the Rhode Island Formation. Can anyone id the large, straight shaped imprint? Thanks!

I got these at the Denver Show, but wasn't provided with any information on them. I know the seller had a numeric species ID list, these were labeled 46, 8 and 9. But that won't help much. I assume these are from the Eocene Green River formation

I think the first one is maybe chestnut tree's leaf, second one is the willow tree's leaf, and last one is also chestnut trees's leaf. But I can't sure right id. Because these plants are looks really close other specimens. I really want to know these fossils right id, please.

Need help to ID this not usual plant from the Westphalian of northern France ,i'm really not sure perhaps Alloiopteris coralloides or Sphenopteris?

Hi. I found these two plant pinnules in West Yorkshire, UK recently. They come from the Pennine Lower Coal Measures formation. Can anyone identify the species? Thanks, Daniel

Found this today. There was a lot of conglomerate sea shells in the area also. I am thinking possibly a coral or other under sea plant. Any ideas?

Lepidodendron bark.

Not sure if anyone would be able to clarify what is in this stone. Thanks

Can someone help me with an ID for this? Thank you!
