Late Cretaceous chalk in North America
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey everyone I know I've been lately rather inactive on TFF; I was held back by fieldwork and other reasons (though do expect some posts about the fieldwork next weekend ). But anyway, onto what I came to talk about... Would anyone know of some good exposures of Late Cretaceous chalk in Canada or USA? I'm thinking specifically about Campanian chalk or, even better, Maastrichtian chalk.. It would be great if the exposed chalk is very fossiliferous, of course. Thanks for any help! -Christian -

No doubt its a (broken) bone. Is there enough there to determine which part of the creature it might be?

I don’t remember exactly where I found these either Florida South Carolina or North Carolina but I was wondering what some of these were if it’s possible to tell and are they fossilized? 1 looks like a turitellid gastropod, 2, 5, and 6 all have the squared off hinge and may be all the same but the colors are different 3 is not symmetric but angled to one side, 7 are cool and spiky, 8 are slightly angled but the hinge part isn’t well preserved 9 I have no clue they may all be different 10 I also have no idea, 11 is some sort of shell, 12 another snail shell and no clue on 13. Any and all h

Hi everyone! I found these at the Big Brook Preserve in Colts Neck, NJ in May of 2020. This was my first fossil hunt so I'm pretty sure I was at the wrong exact location but I was nearby. I found them directly in the creek and had to use a sifter. This was also after a rainstorm. I'm not sure if anything here is a fossil, but I figured I'd ask the experts! Please let me know if you want closer pictures or other angles of any of them. Thanks for taking a look! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Hello, I just uploaded my last short film on the first forests of the Middle Devonian. Automatic English subtitle translation doesn't sound too bad.

I found this in my back yard, it appears to have three tiny fossils (approximately 1cm in size each), getting pictures is hard! I am a very amateur collector, so I really don't know much. I live in Roxbury, Morris County, New Jersey, USA.

Request for feedback on fossil field guide visual layout
pefty posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I'm working up a series of fossil field guides for various formations. I'd like to provide a visual indicator of which fossils are rare, which are common, and which are abundant, without getting in the way of the visual layout of the fossils & identifying information. The complete set of categories I am working with is {Abundant, Common, Rare, Very Rare, Common to Abundant, Rare to Abundant, Rare to Common, Present, and Questionable}. Has anyone seen a good way that a field guide of any kind has provided such a visual indicator as a page-wide element of visual layout? Attached is my first- 13 replies

Strange Holes on Petrified Wood Bark from the Mid-Late Eocene of Texas
Ramon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I found this piece of petrified wood last month. It comes from Middle Eocene (37-35 million years old) terrestrial sediments, from the Yegua Formation of eastern Texas. What I love about this piece, is that it is a piece from the bark of the tree. The tree that this specimen belonged to, was some kind of hardwood species (angiosperm), probably something like maple or birch, judging by the structure of the wood in one of the endcuts/endgrains. What is so special about this piece, is that the bark side is covered in some sort of carbon film material, which gives it a nice,- 14 replies

Hello! i recently found a small, broken mammal molar. The occlusal surface is worn flat partially, this maybe difficult to see from the photos, it seems small to be an older pig, but pig was my first guess. If that is correct I guess it would most likely not be a “fossil”, although it seems to have some qualities consistent with mineralization. Is it conceivably human, about the same size and in better shape than some of mine! Very curious find for me and probably obvious for some members. thanks for your time!

Hello! This tooth has been offered to me. The id is theropod ind. It has very small serrations... From Cloverly Formation. What do you think? Thank you so much!

Hey guys, I saw this diplodocus bone online and I was wondering what bone it could be from. It’s listed as a caudal vertebrae but it’s clearly not. It’s around 38 cm with the restored section which I have marked with a red lign. Thanks for the imput!

Took me a little while to post this trip report, I'm always a busy person. This trip is from October 3rd, 2020 in Ellsworth County, Kansas at a reservoir. The predominant formation at the site I visited is Kiowa formation; which is known for marsh and delta environments in the early Cretaceous (Albian). I found some interesting things and I'll show below. Possibly some carbonized wood materials. Lignite or coal? It was flaky and would crumble if touched. It left some black powders on my hands after handling it. I found several large pieces of them together and partly encased in con

From my previous trip to Ellsworth County, Kansas and it's located in Dakota formation, Cenomanian. It appeared as almost like vertebrae but I'm sure it's not verts. Is it by chance some form of ichnofossil? @jpc thinks it's concretionary. No disrespect to him, he's the only one who offered his opinion and I would like to know if anyone else have a different opinion.

Found this in my neighborhood, I live in Dallas Texas USA. As far as geological history when I research the area it mentions most fossils found in Dallas Texas from the cretaceous period. It is small and looks like a piece of something but have no idea so now I’m here... any information would be helpful thanks. Length wise it’s 7.5 cm, width is 5.5 cm, and height is about 3 cm and the other is slanted so thing less than half of one cm.
