  1. A short post today, just wanted to upload this interesting Rhizocorallium (?) I found on my most recent fossil hunting trip! It’s still the dead of winter here in Saskatoon, but we had a warm snap recently and I was able to hike out to a local glacial silt exposure and found it. Hoping to return to this site soon and hopefully find more!

  3. Another day of great finds in Saskatoon! This time, some trace fossils. With my wonderful collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan's Museum of Natural Sciences still continuing, recently I have been very lucky to make multiple trips out to a beautiful site just outside the city of Saskatoon where massive deposits of glacial lake silt are exposed. This silt produces pristine grass and other plant fossils in abundance (I'd like to make a post about them soon as well), but also seems to be teeming with various invertebrate trace fossils. All are very small (under 1 centimetre wide). I've attached some of my best pictures below. 1 - 6: Overlapping Planolites sp. closeups 7 - 11: Edaphichnium sp. 12 - 14: Taenidium sp. closeups 15 - 16: Taenidium sp. wide shots 17: Taenidium sp. closeup

    recent large herbivore tooth id

    I have a tooth given to me by grandfather - always told it was a camel tooth from Mespotamia [he was there on way to India in WW1] but realise it looks like no camel tooth I can find. Now also realise it is mineralised so probably a fossil of a recent large herbivore. Any ideas??
  5. JakubArmatys

    Pleistocene (?) bone ID

    I found this bone in the river, possibly from Pleistocene (bone color + some kind of subfossil procceses) and what is that? I made a research, and this is smillair to nothing, maybe somebody knows what is that possibly.
  6. Pseudogygites

    Caddisfly Larva?

    Hi again everyone! I have a small fossil from a unit of lacustrine laminated silt from here in Saskatoon from the very late Pleistocene or early Holocene. The unit directly overlays a unit of till from the Wisconsinan glaciation. The unit contains carbonized plants stems, some of which are filled with wood boring beetle larva frass, diatoms, and burrows similar to Cruziana. In one of these hollowed-out burrows, I found this fossil, which is approximately 0.5 mm in length. It is composed of many extremely small carbonized plant fragments, all arranged horizontally from longest to shortest. I have no suggestions to explain how such an arrangement could occur through abiotic means, and the fossil bears a striking resemblance to caddisfly larva cases, many of which are composed of plant fragment arranged horizontally. I have attached some photos taken through a microscope lens on an iPhone. In hopes of accounting for the rough image quality, I have included numerous angles and degrees of brightness to help illuminate the arrangement of plant fragments. Any help confirming the caddisfly diagnosis or directing me from my incorrect guess to a correct one would be greatly appreciated!
  7. Hello! Thank you all for taking the time to read this and (hopefully!) help me identify a very interesting find from Saskatoon! I was on a fossil hunting trip to a local exposure of Pleistocene glacial lake sediments in Saskatoon, and I took home a few samples of it to review later. While looking through one piece (the material is silt but breaks like a rock and is somewhat laminated), I saw this very strange shape. Attached are a few images, some simply in situ, others through a microscope. My apologies if the image quality is not ideal, I do not currently have any better equipment. There are a few images with my fingernail in frame to give you a sense of scale; this thing is very small. It is a kind of dome shape adorned with concentric rings of linked “nodes.” When looking at it, I knew it couldn’t be a pebble or partially buried rock. The thing it reminded me the most of was a Ptychodus tooth or other fish tooth plate, but the “dome” the nodes sit upon is penetrated open in one spot and is hollow. While I suppose this doesn’t rule tooth out, it does make me doubt that possibility. In addition, the nodes appear to resemble fish scales, especially ganoid scales, as some are rhomboidal in shape and all have the glassy coating those scales tend to have. There is also what appears to be a bone fragment near the dome. This is where my own suggestions end, I have no other ideas as to what this weird thing might be! Simple confirmation of the nodes as fish scales would probably satisfy me, but identification of them as ganoid would be even better. Please let me know if I can provide any extra clarification! Thank you!

    Stromatolite?

    Hello i found these on a island in the Red Sea. the island is literally made of fossils(LITTERALLY) at the bottom of the island you can find corals you would usually find deeper in the sea and as you climb up the mountain you start seeing shallow water creatures like giant clams. The island reaches 70 meters high and there are fossils up until the top. These fossils(in the pictures) could only be found on the top couple of meters what could these be? thank you for your time !
  12. Hello everyone! I have a couple of coral samples here that I can't really id... maybe some of you have an idea? one seems to be a sample of Pocilloporidae and the other one resembles the honey comb corals... The sample blocks the corals were found in were dated MIS11 (SL43 2) and Pleistocene (ST73 2), but the corals themselves haven't been dated yet. SL43 2 average calice diameter 1,25 mm ST73 2 calice diameter around 0,8 mm And if anyone is interested in discussing a couple of other samples, that would be great! Either way, thank you for your help! P.S. unfortunately I don't know how to change the tif documents to jpg 473959284_SL432.tif 606901256_SL432a.tif 2069032143_SL432b.tif 1235833768_ST732.tif 1470654762_ST732a.tif 2068685418_ST732b.tif 2009449191_ST732c.tif

    Fossil bone?

    Hi this is what looks like a bone found in quaternary marine limestone where I only find fossil shells and marine fossils so this is definitely out of the ordinary I found this in Saudi Arabia Jeddah if anyone knows what this might be I would love to know thank you

    Fossil coral

    Hello I found this coral in a marine quaternary deposit I’ve also found living ones in the sea this was found in Jeddah Saudi Arabia I would love to know this species mid possible thank you soo much

    Coral?

    I found this bizarre thing in a quaternary deposit in Jeddah Saudi Arabia I have found a couple of these fossils and also found not fossil ones in the sea floor yet I can’t quite figure out what this is thank you
  16. mr fossil

    Cone snail

    I found this giant cone snail shell fossil in Jeddah Saudi Arabia which I believe is quaternary but I would like to make sure of that and the area I was searching in had different fossils than I usually find they where only bivalves and clams and very little coral could this be because this area was deeper water if so how deep thank you
  17. mr fossil

    Giant clam fossil

    Hello I found this giant clam on a island in omluj Saudi Arabia I believe it’s quaternary age but I would like to know more about this and I’m also curious of what species this is thank you

    Lake Michigan Beach find

    Any idea what this could be?
  19. WAStatePugetLobe

    PNW beach find, curved vertebrae, unknown

    This was found between glacial and non glacial quaternary sediment. Slightly north of Ocean shores, WA. NOT on the beach, but where the forest meets the beach and erosion is occuring. I brought this to the only fossil shop local to me and all they recommended bringing it to another shop hours away so trying my luck here! You can see the vertebrae which after taking a soft brush to curves around in the shape of a I, the clearly visible vertebrae at top are the largest in with, however the length of each remains the same as the width lessens. There are at least 9 vertebrae I can count. The width starts at .25", there is 1" of vertebrae exposed prior to curving back up, 2" total exposed vertebrae. Curious if where it starts curving are joints? You see in pictures where it curves that specific block looks different from the rest. What is your best ID guess? Thank you so much!!!
  20. WAStatePugetLobe

    Am I crazy? Fish or fluke??

    My only true "questionable" find whether it is something or not. I love learning about geology, that said after we purchased 3 acres on land which was under glacial units (Puget lobe in WA state, possibly Pleistocene) I dug a hole near what would have been a bank however many thousands of years ago (16,500 years ago would have been glacial outwash). I crack rocks open to see mineral composition. This was found slightly above (maybe 1'-2'), what I would label the alluvial line, but I am very much an amateur when it comes to defining specifics. Google fish fossils and there is nothing like it, I personally see clear and distinct fin outlines. BUT that is why I would LOVE to hear your feedback and any thoughts! This "fish outline" is small, 3.5" x 1". But if a fish i would think pretty rare find based on our locations climate/environment. Thank you for your time!
  21. Last summer I became interested in collecting mollusks from the Chicago area rather by accident. I happened to find some shells in a dug up wastepile. I contacted the Prairie Research Institute and it turned out a geologist there was interested in C14 dating them for a surficial geologic mapping project he was working on. I then became obsessed with finding more from different points around the city. I was able to find 5 other localities and these samples were also donated. These are are freshwater aquatic mollusks from the Tolleston shoreline of ancestral Lake Michigan. Overall it was fascinating to compare the "Ice Age" mollusks with modern shells on the beach, the effect of invasive species and contributing to science. Radiocarbon data from one sample. After calibration: 4700, 6200BP

    Quaternary mammal fossil?

    I found this bone in Interior Alaska down river of some bluffs that I know have produced mammoth bones and other Pleistocene age fossils. I am curious if anybody can identify this bone and whether it is really from the quaternary or is it more recent. There is crystallization in the holes in the bone and it feels more dense than a normal bone would. Be thankful for any thoughts and information.
