In one of the pieces of Burmite amber I bought from @holdinghistory recently, I found what I think may be molted skin from something. Reptile, insect or worm, I have no clue. Measures 1 cm long by 5 mm at the widest. Pics 1 - 4 show the texture at 200 x. 5 & 6 show the entire piece at 20 x. Any ideas?

Hi All, First post for me. Excited to participate! I have recently taken up fossil hunting in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada's river valley creek beds. I have found several fossilized bone fragments, petrified wood fragments and even a few first nations artifacts. All of these have been found on small creek bed shelves during low water. The geological time period is mesozoic. The first object I would appreciate any feedback on is an irregularly textured flat rock or potentially a fossil of some kind. It was found loose on the surface next to the water. It has an

Think you found an egg? Read this first! Dinosaur Egg Guide- Basic
CBchiefski posted a topic in Fossil ID
The Basic Dinosaur Egg Guide Many people often mistake a concretion for an egg, to help clarify what is a concretion, and what is a real egg, here is a guide. A quick overview with examples: How to spot a concretion: How are they different from eggs? A concretion is a rather common rock made of tightly compressed minerals. Typically, concretions are a smooth sphere or oval with little to no surface texture or just a few bumps. Often nearly a perfect sphere, sometimes more of an oval. In a concretion, there- 14 replies

The Advanced Dinosaur Egg Guide Please share this with those who have egg questions. When possible, technical terms were avoided or defined. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but it is always important to do your own research. This guide is merely a snapshot of information taken from many scientific publications. I am not an expert on eggs, rather I just love sharing what little I have learned over the years, what science has learned over the years. For an overview on how to spot a fossilized dinosaur egg and the sizes of eggs, see the basic guide:

Found on Myrtle Beach. Absolutely no clue! The smooth back is black. The pitted front is reddish brown. Thanks! - Paula

Sorry for the not so great pictures as I’m in the process of getting a new phone, any clues as to what this small piece might be from? The texturing I swear I’ve seen on some pieces I’ve found before but I can’t seem to find them, if I do I’ll post additional pics. Any help appreciated, found Myrtle Beach South Carolina.

I found this on the beach and though it is a bone fragment. But then, when I turned it over, the texture confused me. Can someone help? Thank you!

Hi Gang, So I meant to ask this quite awhile ago when I saw similar textures in our Florida Plio-Pleistocene osteoderms and periotics and ran across this larger chunk of bone again while rooting around in the garage this weekend and thought I'd throw it out for an answer. Does the lumpy irregular non-smooth texture on the top edge of this bone actually have a name? Is it normal or does it indicate there is some abnormality? I think I've seen similar textures but was curious. I dont know what kind of bone fragment it might be or what critter its from but being its another goofy fr

Fossil Seed Ferns (Alethopteris Sp.) From St. Clair, Pa
z10silver posted a topic in Fossil Photography
Fossil seed ferns (Alethopteris sp.). 300 m.y.o. St. Clair, PA. 185mm. One of the coolest fossil hunting experiences I’ve had. The amount of detail preserved in these fossils is incredible—some appear as if the leaves had just fallen! Exploring this area was like being transported back in time. Looking at a fossil like the one pictured here, it is not difficult to imagine the ancient carboniferous swamp coming back to life. For me, fossils are all about stress relief; a sobering—yet comforting—reminder of how briefly we are here, and where our priorities should lie. When I feel o -
Here is some sort of carboniferous somthing ( ). Any ideas? Great texture. Country of origin: Poland. Thanks! Peco
