    Western Adventure Part 6

    One week fossil collecting trip out west, my sixth time in the past six years. Flew into Denver. Rented a car and headed down to Castle Rock where I spent the night at a motel. Next day drove up to Florissant Fossil Quarry. It was Wednesday and they're normally closed during the week in September, but I made special arrangements for a few hours visit. Compared to my two previous visits there, didn't do as well. The other times, I was there for the whole day, this time was just for three hours, and they had had a considerable amount of rain recently and so the shale was more crumbly and more difficult to split. Here are some of my finds. Plants:
  4. Let me start this off with I’m not looking for anyone’s hotspots or honey holes. I’d like to get out to hopefully find some fossil fern plants. Are there any parks in central to southern Maryland that have the possibility to produce any results in that general area. I know that studying and finding unique areas are part of the hobby, but I’m kind of crunched for time. My girlfriend loves the outdoors and hiking through the woods to look at all the variety of plant life that it offers. She thinks that my fossil collecting is cool and interesting, but she just isn’t into the fossils that come from animals. I’d like to find her some fossils that she would enjoy for a Christmas present. It would be greatly appreciated if there’s anyone that point me to a place where I can find her the perfect gift. I’m even going to throw in a pretty please and drop to my knees to throw in a little begging.
  5. Plant impressions i found in material from the Coleraine formation of Northern Minnesota, which dates to 100-90mya, i confirmed with a paleontologist that these are first known plant impressions ever found up here which has me excited but neither of us know anymore than that theyre plant impressions, can anyone here maybe give more specific information from my pictures? i hope these pictures are good enough, i donated it for further study so I can’t get more. Even if you can’t ID them i still want to know what you guys think!
  6. Last week on Fossil Friday, the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium in Roger Williams Park added the fossil I found from my post last time and still proud about it because they said on their Facebook page that its only one they have in the collection . Because its the first of its kind I discovered around New England until I find more fossils around that site in North Atteborough just waiting to be discovered with a story to tell. Museum Page Last Week
  7. This are two carboniferous fossils from Arlanza, Spain. The first one is a Pecopteris and the second one is a tree trunk if I am not mistaken. Do you have a different opinion or have a more specific ID? The Pecopteris The tree trunk
  8. Iwent to a new carboniferous hunt today with a very nice Lepidodendron cone,Eusphenopteris,Mariopteris and Pecopteris in the bucket nice day
  9. Was walking my yard yesterday and seen a plant fossil sticking out of the shale, so today went looking for more. I found hundreds of good quality thousands that were not worth my time even carrying back. Looks like about five different species so far. I’m in Knox county Kentucky. Can someone help me identify them I’ll just post one picture at a time. And these will also create context for the last one. The layers of rock these where found in and the time they are from. It does not look natural to me like it’s out of place. (Maybe) so here is the picture of the first one.

    Cory’s Lane, RI fossil hunting

    I’m new to fossil hunting and just spent Saturday searching for fossils in Rhode Island. I spent about two hours at Cory’s Lane and found two possible fossils. I’m wondering if anyone can help identify these? I had a lot of fun searching there and plan on going back. Thanks so much for any help.

    Plant fossils? ID help

    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!

    Pennsylvania’s Carboniferous Fauna

    I am seeking info on Pennsylvania’s Carboniferous plant fauna. The ID plates I currently have access to are ok, but lack info beyond ferns. I have been digging a coal hillside in the Llewelyn Formation, and exposed some cool pine cone and seed pod like material (attached), and I’d like to learn species name and background information. 1.Pine cone sides 2. Cone up close 3 Seed Pod
  13. Yesterday i went to a new carboniferous hunt ,in the rain,few nice pieces
  14. Sunday the 26th I took part in a DPS field trip to a plant site in Oklahoma. The locality is in the Savanna Shale which is Pennsylvanian Period, Desmonian (Desmoinesian) stage, 306-308 mya.

    Fossilized Pine Cone?

    I found this a few years back and never looked into what it might be and thought this was the perfect group of folks to share it with for a possible ID. My best guess is a pine cone but I'd love to hear what everyone thinks here. I found this in the Ferris Mountain Range, south central Wyoming
  16. I found some pyritized plants a few days ago and noticed that one looks like a stem with seed pods. The fossil measures 2 cm and is from the Glenshaw Formation of Beaver County Pennsylvania. I'm nearly certain that what looks like a stem is a stem, but what are the three round things seemingly attached? Help is appreciated, thanks.

    Pyrite Plants--Gold and Green

    Last week I was hunting in my usual location in Allegheny County Pennsylvania (Glenshaw Formation) and found that several of my specimens have splotches of what appears to be pyrite crystals. With some of the broken fossils I could see that even the insides contained gold-colored pyrite. On the other side of these plates were what looked like rootlets covered in a pale green mineral. Is this pale green mineral pyrite as well? Is there some way I could test this? Thanks for the help.

    Pennsylvanian Marine and Plants

    Howdy! I'm finding some beautiful stuff digging in the Glenshaw Formation of Allegheny and Beaver counties. Hoping to find out/confirm what they are. The limestone finds I believe are from the Brush Creek Limestone. As usual, all help is greatly appreciated, thanks! Side view of Wilkingia? Never saw round leaves before Spiropteris? Sigillaria bark? Some sort of bone or root of a Petalodus tooth?

    Unusual rock or fossil??

    Hi! I found this a few years ago and due to the texture snd shapes, I believe it is a fossil but not certain. I asked an archeologist but he thought just a rock that formed in cracks of other rocks. That did not ring true to me with all the shapes plus he was not a paleontologist. However, I’ve looked at many images of fossils and cannot find anything similar. Anyone else? Atttached photos from every angle. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
  20. 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.

    Some Carboniferous flora

    Here you have some beautiful fossils that I have been finding lately ^^, all of them come from the same coal mine in the NW of Spain, Stephanian B, Upper Carboniferous. I hope you like them! 1. Parasphenophillum crenulatum 2. Neuropteris ovata var. Hoffman 3. Aphlebia crispa 4. Diplacites emarginatum 5. Oligocarpia gutbieri 6. Calamite suckowi
  22. I recently went to a site in wich there are only one single specie, Neuropteris ovata. But Neuropteris ovata has many diferent shapes and sizes wich depend of the area of the frond wich the pinnules come from (Upper, lower, terminal, basiscopic, acutifolia zones, etc.) You can also find Cyclopteris fimbriata, that are big basal leaves from the frond. Upper Carboniferous of NW Spain. Here are some examples:

    Plant roots or worms?

    Found in southwest Wisconsin. All the other fossils are aquatic. There are hundreds of these type in all sizes. Plant roots? Giant worms?
  25. Starting in early 2021, I've been going fossil hunting at the Mazon Creek area in Grundy County, Illinois. The site I visit the most so far is the fairly large Mazonia-Braidwood State Fish and Wildlife Area. After advice from other members of the Fossilfourm, I've decided to put the nodules I'm most curious about under the microscope and dissecting scope! With these better photographs, I'm wondering if anyone could give a proper ID for these specimens?
