New to fossil forum - 2nd post. Spent considerable time & have thoroughly enjoyed reading posts requesting id’s!!! I found this fossil (& 2 others exactly the same but considerably smaller - same fossil hunt) loose in a St Louis, MO county mostly dry creek bed. Online research consensus was coral fossil. But, it looks like pet wood to me. Not apparent in pics, but the rock sparkles with quartz druzy that I’ve found to be common in the rocks I’ve collected from Northeast & Southeast Missouri.

Hello, I have this piece of rock found in the Motagua Valley of Guatemala. I was wondering if it might be some type of fossilized wood. Thanks, Nicholas VID-20230515-WA0014.mp4

Help Requested with Apparent Wood Fossils in the Catskills of Delaware County NY
Biotalker posted a topic in Fossil ID
I visited my friend’s property in the Catskill Mountain area of New York a couple of days ago. In the hills between Pepacton Reservoir and the town of Delhi, he has an old bluestone quarry. It is here we found apparent wood fossils. I gather this area is likely late Devonian, either Sonyea group or West Falls Group. 1) How common are these wood fossils? 2) What other fossils have been found associated with these wood deposits? 3) What is the likely geology of these fossils? 4) Is there an accepted explanation for the fossil aggregation of wood fragments? Here is a section containing numerous wood fragments. It is 17 inches (43 cm) long.- 4 replies

Hello everyone, I'm Li, a D.Phil student doing history of art at Oxford Uni. I'm very passionate about collecting fossils because my late uncle is a great collector of fossils in China. But I'm a complete novice in this field. I just came back from my FIRST EVER 'fossil hunt' on the Isle of Wight. I found three 'interesting' fossils on Shanklin beach and Compton Bay. I found them when the tide was low (between 3 pm and 6 pm). I have asked some local experts to identify them. They are two wood fossils and one block of stone (sandstone?) containing prints of shells. Though they are not as 'wonderful' findings as dinosaur bones, I'm quite excited about them! As I've heard the wood fossil is fragile, I've already applied glue on one of them (fig. wood fossil 1) Will keep collecting fossils on the beach! Any tips on fossil collecting/hunting will be welcomed!

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 concretions. Putting them together would make them about a meter and half long. Piece #1: Piece #2: Backside of #2. Notice the clutches of concretions. ...continued on the next post.

Last month, my husband found this piece labeled "Hematite After Wood Minnesota" at a rock shop. The piece is about 7 cm long by 2 cm wide between the bulges. I have some doubts about the "After Wood" part of this label. The bulges look more botryoidal than barklike, and I don't see any distinctive woodlike structure on the broken ends. I could easily be wrong, though. Here are some better-illuminated pictures: Do I have a really cool mineral replacement fossil here, or a really wild-looking pseudofossil? If the former, I'll include it in my mineral club open house display this Sunday. If the latter, I might include it in a mineral club display on pseudofossils next year!
