Unknown Microfossil from Pennsylvanian aged Excello Shale in thin section
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! I was making some thin sections of some material from the Excello shale and found a very large and bizarre structure. Sorry in advance it was too big for my microscope camera to really capture it all, but here is the specimen in question its most likely coated in apatite/phosphate? along with small radiolarian/sponge spicules surrounding it I sent a photo to my professor and he said it could be something new but he would have to see it in person (he is an expert in Radiolarian microfossils) I wanted to post it here and see if anyone had any ideas to throw out. Here it is under 4x power (it is still a little bit of a "thick section" rather than thin section but I plan to grind it down at another time) I don't think it is a radiolarian (unless it is a ginormous one) as the largest I have found from the Excello was about 1000 microns Here is the largest one I can confirm is a Radiolarian (Entactinaria sp.?): Bonus Rad that shows possible apatite/phosphate coating in more detail (old photo) Let me know if you guys have any suggestions or questions let me know and Ill try to aid in any way I can.-

Found in Dahlonega, Georgia. Original origin (if different) unknown. Before I realized it was a fossil, I had aggressively scrubbed the stone with a denture brush in hopes of cleaning off the deep dirt stains. It worked, but I'm not sure if it damaged it at all. It doesn't look noticeably damaged, if it is, but I figured I'd bring it up. This rock is *most likely?* limestone & quartz but I'm not terribly confident in that answer. Any help GREATLY appreciated!! The fossil appears to be a mix of star shaped and column shaped indents, with what appear to be shells as well. There may be more (as there are a lot of similar indents that look more like closely packed dots) but I'm not sure. P.S.: If anyone has tips to safely remove the iron stains, let me know! I'd rather preserve the fossil than remove the iron, but I figured I might ask.

Is this a real fish fossil?
eXistenZ posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Ich habe das vor 2 Tagen bekommen sieht etwas künstlich/bemalt aus? Kann mir jemand mehr darüber sagen, wenn es echt ist? Translation: "I received this 2 days ago does something look artificial / painted? Can someone tell me more about it if it's real?" -

I found this fossil, and searching response for the following questions: Can you help with the identification? Can we consider the lines on the fossil like ring of a tree, each interval representing one year of its life? Can I calculate its age by counting the number of lines on the fossils s the color of the fossil representative of the real color it was when living.
