Could anyone help with identifying these fossils found at Turimetta Beach NSW?
ParasauroLoafers posted a topic in Fossil ID
My partner randomly suggested we go fossil hunting at Turimetta. I've never been fossil hunting and I was surprised by how much we actually found. I haven't uploaded pictures of everything we found bc it's mostly just plant matter that I've managed to find similar pictures of in other forums. I'm curious to know if the rusty-orange coloured ones are anything. Was really exciting to find them when carefully splitting rocks in half! There's also a tiny ball shape I found when I split open a rock and it almost looked like a tiny soccer ball or pine cone because of the lines in it. It didn't show up quite as clearly on camera sadly. And there's another rock with a cylindrical shape in the side of it. I thought that was very interesting so I took lots of angles. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello everyone! A couple of weeks ago, I traveled to Turimetta Beach, a Triassic fossil locality in the Sydney Basin. I found several plant fossils. Some were too fragmentary for ID, but if possible I would like to know people's opinions on the ID of these three. I've read through previous forum posts and am aware these might not be able to be ID'ed. Fossil plate which I found as a rockfall near Turimetta Headland. A relatively large stem which was found in the same rockfall. A small leaf I found at an outcrop on the beach itself. Thanks for any possible help!

Fossil ID - First Time Fossil Hunting at Turimetta Head, Sydney, NSW
fvgb40 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone, I'm a first time fossil hunter and I went up to Turimetta head north of Sydney with a friend to try our luck. We found a few things splitting shale, and I was wondering what exactly they were - I understand that they're all probably plant material, if they are fossils, but wasn't sure exactly what type of plant they were from. Hopefully someone can help. Thank you in advance!

Took the family to the Naranbeen Holiday Park over the school holidays, and thought we'd check out Turimetta headland for fossils - have heard it's a good site. With two small kids, was a bit worried about the slippery rocks and signs warning of falling rocks (!), so didn't make it all the way around to the headland, but had a look in the rocks along the beach. Only a few interesting finds. Do any of these look like fossils or something else? Any information would be great, thank-you.

Getting the next generation enthused about fossils
Bartos Fam posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hi all, We're a Sydney family with high school aged kids who are all interested in fossils. Have been lurking on the site on & off for the last 18 months or so and decided to bite the bullet and join Have found some nice pieces at Turimetta head over the last few years, and had a fabulous time recently in New Caledonia on the island of Mare where fossilised coral abounds. Hoping to head up to Mulbring quarry (if anyone can help with contact details) in the next few days, en route to visiting friends in Singleton. Thanks Elena
