Hi guys, 3mm long in Baltic amber. Was wondering if this was a seed or a leaf? Best images I can do I'm afraid. @Amber Man

I think I posted these years ago but I don't know what happened to that. I acquired these from the same old (late) rockhound couple from whom I got a number of other 'orphaned' items that caused me to join the Forum looking for more info. The people I got them from could not remember where they came from. They are obviously some sort of nut or seed. They are rather lightweight, but they still sink in water and are almost rocklike, which you can tell by tapping them on your teeth. If they aren't fossil, I'd say they've been buried for some time. For all I know they could be from around here. Most of the old couple's stuff was from around here on the Island (Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group, mostly), though they did have some stuff from elsewhere in North America too. Also, every now and then I come across something in my hunts that are reminiscent, such as the thing in the next post below, though this one is squashed - perhaps the 4 above came out of one of the coal-producing formations in Nanaimo area. But if on the other hand someone recognizes them from a different location, or what their ID may be, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

Hello, could anybody help me with identification of this piece poping out of the amber? It's 5mm (0,2 inch) long and at first sight it looks like a seed. I don't know where is this piece of amber from. Thanks for any help.

found this little thing it looked interesting it looks like it was once prickly? it also looks like it had a stem? is this a seed or perhaps a sponge?

I have a couple of rocks that look like seeds. What do you think? Do those look like bite marks on the one on the left? Let's hear your thoughts. The one on the right was in pea gravel at a playground in Iowa, I find fossil shell fossils in pea gravel sometimes. I'm not sure where I got the other one, in central Iowa.

Hi all, While sifting for sharks teeth in the pebbles we came across these different looking ‘stones’. The top and bottom specimens are the ones we are questioning. Stones? Seeds? Scute? (Top one). Any help would be welcomed. Thanks in advance

I hammered this free from a chunk of ironstone. Ironstone matrix. I thought it was completely round like a marble nut the more I inspected I see some traits that this is a designed specimen with a symmetrical pattern and some unique patterns. Any ideas?

https://imgur.com/a/J0Twa Originally posted on r/fossilid on reddit.com. Did not get much reception. I literally know nothing about fossils except a few tidbits in recognizing basic things like crinoids. I do not remember exactly where it was found, but geologic maps indicate my area, Columbia, Missouri, is roughly in the carboniferous layer. I'm sorry I don't have many good views of it--I do not have any good tools to readily chip away at it. Let me know if you guys have any more questions! Thank you so much!

This was found in a riverbed in Indiana three decades ago. I have yet to figure out exactly what it might be. A gem show expert said it was a Crinoid Sea Lilly but it does not really match Sea Lilly photos posted on line. It is 4 1/2” long, 7” around and weighs 320 grams. Thank you so much for your input!

Here is another item that I am looking for an ID on- It is a Pennsylvanian seed from the Manning Canyon Shale, Utah. I am thinking "Trigonocarpus" or "Cordaicarpus"- any suggestions or ID?
-
Out at a hadrosaur dig site and came across this seed. Can anyone identify it? Thanks for looking!

From the album: Carbondale, PA
I found a whole plate of these, but somehow only the one example made it home. 13mm long Carbondale, PA Lewellyn Formation Pennsylvanian period 299-323 myo -
Please forgive me for my fossil ignorance, as I do not know much about them. I am trying to find our what kind of fossil this could be. Or maybe it isn't. I'm not sure. I have looked on the internet for awhile and found nothing really similar to it. If this is easy and I'm just an idiot, I'm sorry haha. Just thought you all could help me here. Thank you

Hi everybody. Recently I found this fossil in the coal measures, but I don't know what is It. Maybe seeds? What do you think? Regards Juan

Yesterday I looked in my batch of unattended rocks and found one very mixed fossiliferous rock I had been meaning to explore. These are two of the specimens I found inside:
-
Brought back from the site 7/6. Seed?
-
Here is another found this past summer. The first two are counterparts to each other. It is raised, like an almond. I wonder if the third is what it looks like inside??
-
This again is small, but I believe it is another of the Cardaites Seed?
-
Brought this one home, and again, am not sure what it is?
-
Found these today

Found today, any ideas?
