Hello all! I am new to this forum and felt I should repost my find here. A few days ago I saw this rock on the ground in our horse turn-out area. It certainly looks and feels like petrified wood, but I have never found any in Ohio before. I wondered if anyone else would know anything about petrified wood in northeast Ohio. Age of fossil? Type of tree? How common? Thanks for any input Steve

Indet. Hadrosauridae, self collected from a river site. Dinosaur teeth from North Carolina are very uncommon and very understudied. Remains other than teeth are mostly unidentifiable bone shards.

Hello Everyone, My kids found this in our front yard about 10 years back and it has been sitting on our deck as a conversation piece ever since. I just recently decided to try and find out what this could possibly be. We Live in Southeast Missouri, at Wappapello Lake 36°56'08.3"N 90°16'40.0"W. Our Home is on a hill overlooking Mingo Swamp, which is located in the western Lowlands, and was formed by the meltwaters from the Illinoian Ice age. According to our nearby forest service at old Mingo Swamp, our front yard used to be the the shoreline of the Mississippi river thousands of years ago. Using these Generalized Geologic maps, the fossil was found where the three counties of, Wayne, Stoddard and Butler meet. I am including the below photos of the "fossil" taken on a crafting pad which is marked with one inch by one inch squares. Also included are a couple photos taken in a different light setting. I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks. Front 001 Front 002 Front 003 Front 004 Top 005 Bottom 006 Right Side 007 Left Side 008
