this one is really odd it is almost plant like in texture when viewed under microscope (pics included) the texture follows the curves of the fossil looking almost like hair under the microscope...sorry only way I could describe it .... It has a dark area along with what look like leafy or hairy parts on it.

Hi everyone, I am very new to this and have an extremely vivid imagination so please bear with me I found this piece of limestone in lighting ridge Australia and I can't help but see what looks to be a palm leaf shape imprinted into it and on closer examination it looks like a small feather imprint also. I hope my images are helpful. Ready to be told it's just a rock

One is pyritized and I have no clue what it is. The other I’m thinking is a plant? Found alongside loads of crinoids -

Hello. My family found this on the beach in southern Oregon. We’re wondering what this fossil might be? It has texture to it that you can feel. And it’s pretty, my daughter described it as being lacy, almost like crochet stitches.

Another find from Saltwick Bay, this time very recent. I'm guessing that the main chunk is fossilised wood of some sort, but I'm stumped by the small (~1cm diameter) patch of pyrite that exhibits very regular dimples (see images 1 & 2). Any ideas?

We were walking along the beach to the north shore light house on block island (part of Rhode Island). I picked up several really cool rocks but this one is the best. I think it is a plant fossil but could not find anything close online. It also has sparkly metallic or crystal content throughout. Any ideas what this is?

Hi all! I found this rock with many fairly well preserved plant fossils in it. It's from the Kvamshest-basin in western Norway, deposited about 380 ish Mya. Does anyone here know what kind of plants they are?

On the large rock, the fourth picture jpg 142641 has gash marks, equal size, there are also depression around each gash mark. I am new to this stuff, but with all my searching I have yet to come up with a answer. Is is a fossil organ with claw marks? The outer and inner appearance are unlike rocks I have seen. My last rock (rectangular) I also have not had any luck with identification. The big rock was found in southeast Idaho, the rectangular rock was found in Succor Creek. I am guessing a plant but would love some feedback! Thank you!

Found this on the beach in Lewes, DE. It's 3cm long, 0.5cm thick and 2cm at the wider end. The lines are raised. Curious if it is some sort of plant fossil. Thanks for any help in identifying!

My son found this on the beach in Lewes, Delaware. It is a little over 1.5 cm long and 1 cm both wide and deep. Maybe it's a cool rock but it sort of seems shell like on the side. Appreciate any help!

Heres something I found yesterday in a Creek bed at the bottom of Kate's Mountain, in Harts Run which is located in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Found lots of crinoid columnals, and brachiopod fossils as well, thanks in advance for any information! I apologize for my fossil ignorance but I am having such a great time finding them and learning!

A specimen from the 1970's or 1980's, but unfortunately date and specific locality are lost to the ravages of mind.... I would appreciate any help in un-Insertae sedising this one! The light blue grid is one inch.

Hello, I found this fossil last spring break, in Coahuila, Mexico. It comes from the late Campanian (73-71 Myrs) Cerro del Pueblo formation. I found several fossils at the same location where I found this fossil. Some of the fossils I found include Cerithium snails, several species of Physidae freshwater snails, Inoceramus sp., petrified wood with teredolites, ammonite fragments, a caudal vertebra from a Hadrosaurid, and plenty of dinosaur bone fragments. The formation is a mess, it’s composed of layers that were deposited in marine, and terrestrial environments, as well as rivers and possibly

Hey Folks, Here are a few whatsits from yesterday’s hunt. First, my gut tells me plant material?
-
These have been passed down from parent to child for generations. Anyway we can no longer remember what these were originally identified as. Possible plants? I see rings and some spots where it looks like a branch would’ve grown.
