Hi, I last visited this site a while back, after I received some fossil shale from the Florissant Quarry a couple years back. You all were wonderfully kind in responding. Well, I've upgraded my home lab (I've been hunting tardigrades for the last year or so), and I have a solid stereoscope, and I decided to revisit my shale to look for microfossils or things that I'd missed. I came across this section (perhaps half an inch in total); the view is a shot through my stereoscope. To my eye, it's plant material, and it looks like wood cells. From what I understand from Herb Meyer's The Fossils of Florissant (SO GREAT), wood fossils (aside from the huge stumps, of course) are relatively rare. If so, and it might be of interest to folks, I'd be happy to send it along to the Florissant folks. Anyway, thanks for reading, and take care. Brett

I recently received a few tracks from a friend and haven’t really shown them here. Enjoy Chirotherium barthii or Isochirotherium sp. Moenkopi Formation Holbrook Member Arizona 240 Million Years Old Middle Triassic These tracks were actually studied by Spencer Lucas and Hendrix Klein earlier this year. There also seems to be some plant material mixed in with the tracks in the larger slab in photo 4 as well, however I’m not to sure what species so I’ll probably post them in fossil ID later.

I have six more MC specimens that I need help with identifying. Again, down to species level if possible. The only one I'm fairly sure of is the Coprolite.
