    Hello. I offer for trade fragments of petrified wood of the Carboniferous period with crystals of smoky quartz. Some samples are in the photographs (I did not upload all the samples I have, since there are quite a few of them - of different sizes and qualities, as well as the sizes of the crystals themselves. I think we can agree on what specifically interests you - I have no doubt that I will find the sample you need). The origin of this wood is Ukraine, its age is Carbon. I'm interested in marine reptiles and petrified wood. Thank you. Have a nice day

    Limb cast?

    Bob Saunders posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals

    A purchased item with no information. It appears to possibly be a petrified wood limb cast, where it lied on the ground eroded away leaving a void and filled in quartz minerals leaving some bark. Light weight and no growth rings.
  3. TRexEliot
    The first is a large piece of petrified driftwood I found in Big Brook a couple years ago, the second is a fragment I am trying to ID. I noticed that the grain texture on the fragment looked like the wood grain on my piece of petrified wood, so I am trying to figure out if it might be petrified wood as well. Thanks! @Trevor
  4. TRexEliot
    A recent find. Has a texture that could be bark, but I am leaning towards coral.
  5. TRexEliot
    Wasn't sure if this was petrified wood, or just anthracite coal from another location that had gotten lost in the brook. Seems to have bark on one side, but wasn't sure what to make of it.

    Hello. I want to show you some examples from my collection. This is a Carboniferous wood. The preservation is not the best, but for me these samples are interesting for the presence of crystals of smoky and ordinary quartz on them. A sliver that has broken off from a larger fragment. There is more quartz than wood Perhaps a stem or stump - it is almost round in cross section. And thickly overgrown with crystals. Large flattened fragment; perhaps the first sliver was from it.

    Identification help please

    RebeccaW2021 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hi everyone!!! Just having a tough time identifying whether this is fossilized wood or a fragment of tusk. It feels weighty, and doesn't feel like a regular stick of wood if that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you! I should mention it was found along an estuary, and was part buried and part exposed so likely once buried and the tide had exposed it

    Wooden Cocoon?

    Loganbro1911 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Found in South Eastern Bartholomew County Indiana.. My younger brothers (Ages 8-9) were messing around digging random holes back in the 17 Acres of Forrest behind our house and came across this.. It looks almost like a Mud Wasp Nest but it's solid wood instead of dirt.. Maybe some type of Root? I don't think it's a fossil but figured it couldn't hurt to ask someone else who knows way more about this stuff than myself.. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated! Little bros think it's a dinosaur tooth (LOL).. Dimensions.. Length-(8cm) Width-(3cm) Height(1.5cm)

    Good evening. A couple of days ago I managed to go to three places with petrified wood at once. These outlets are not nature reserves; most often, these are fields that are just cultivated, roads and natural outcrops of bedrock (gullies, ravines, etc.). The first place is a small field, as well as a forest protection strip near a spruce planting (it was just plowed up). On a country road, one can see the rock outcrops, in which the wood is hidden. Large cobblestones are also found in the root-bed, but more often these are small slates. Orange clay is a sure sign that the layer we need is emerging here. Nature is waking up. Another forest protection strip... And the first finds. These are fragments of petrified wood from the Carboniferous period; but after meeting with the tractor, these are most often fragments. It has been raining recently, so the wood is easy to find. Nature amazes with its beauty! A few more pieces of wood and it's time to go to second place. Sometimes fragments with smoky quartz crystals come across. Carboniferous outcrops. General view. A sample of wood - most of this place is exactly like that. The second place is another field, and all the roads that lead to it The finds are embedded right into the road. There are also many fragments of wood in the gully - they have even been washed. You don't have to turn off the road... A sample of wood - most of this place is exactly like these. The samples are highly silicified, the structure of the tree is almost not preserved; but light quartz is visible within this specimen. Perhaps grinding and polishing will make the specimens worthy of the collection. Third and last place on that trip. This is no longer a field, although they are here too; these are old quarries. According to rumors, there was once a lot of petrified wood here. On this trip we did not find any fragments - it was starting to rain and we had to leave; besides, from this place we could not take anything - too close to the reserve. Heaps of broken stone are everywhere. The bedrock occurs at an angle to the surface. General view. An old tool. In the pit, where the stone was once mined, now a tree grows. A couple of photos before leaving. We did not find a petrified tree in this place, but we picked up such a fragment in a nearby field. A lot of iron, a lot of quartz. That's all for today. Thanks for attention. Have a good evening.

    Going through my wood pile with a loop and saw all these strange things on this peice, just the other day learned about shipworms on here and wondering if that's some of what I'm seeing? Curious about all the black things in holes and the part of wood sticking out that is covered in something.
  11. Guest
    Dear All, I want to buy a dinosaur bone slice but I also see the Palm or some Wood slices are very similar. Are you able to see the difference between what is wood from what is dinosaur bone at the attached photos? Best regards. Alvaro.

    Walton on the Naze odd find

    Fossil1989 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hiya, found an odd thing at Walton, originally thought it was a piece of bone but it doesn't seem to have the same texture as my other pieces of bone, so I'm at a loss. Was wondering if it could be a piece of pyritised wood? It seems too weighty to just be a rock. Thanks for any help

    What Do Past Tsunami's Leave Behind

    Crgold36 posted a topic in Geology

    I can't find much history or geological information of the Seattle area in Washington State before the people started settling there. I get lots of history about how everyone settled, who they were, dates of events, and the beginning of industries. Is there a easier way to find out through other resources about actual formations of the land and geological events that have happened in the past throughout the centuries? Is that made available to the public for research in their findings of fossils? There's more then I thought to learn about when it comes to fossils, and when it comes to fossils being found in or out of profound areas where you don't know how it may have got there, takes you more on a history hunt for answers to the how? question, and the when? question. Finding a fossil in someplace that makes you scratch your head???.. I'm sure this has happened many times. Hasnt it?.. Ocean animal fossils no where near the ocean? I believe that would be evidence of a past tsunami. Could there be any reason why sea fossils would be found in the middle of a populated city not really that close to a Ocean but close to a man made lake. Half salt water half fresh water. I think there should be a key importance to explore more of city populated areas before major construction. Seattle is a place that has never been explored geologically so much other then the beach along the coastlines. I find no evidence of geological history of Washington but of our volcanoes, not so much tsunamis at all. Seattle has just been built on top of so quickly, that Seattle hides a whole lot more beneath the high rolling hills and valleys surrounding then we think. There are less and less places to explore in a growing city and I'm not a expert, but when I can notice something out of the ordinary and you know it's of importance, how can it not excite you enough to find out more about it! So who's the first one I would call to report a geological formation of importance? How are those steps determined in the concept of discoveries ownership and so on? The laws are so twisted and much goes into it. The reward it's self in fossil hunting or just stumbling upon one is the past answers they give us, but they are our future answers too!

    Stigmaria?

    Rubykicks posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I finally took a picture of this beauty. I believe it is stigmaria, but please correct if I'm wrong! I also have other pieces I'm unsure of and would love feedback from anyone with the time. The first 3 pictures are the same rock Picture 4-6 are the the same Picture 7 and 8 are the same And then the rest are the same.

    Petrified Wood with a bone?

    Nreekay posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hey Folks, My son and I found a bunch of petrified wood close to our house up here in Cochrane, Alberta. Could the piece next to the wood be bone? E&B

    Petrified wood ID?

    JorisVV posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Found this in The Netherlands, Maasvlakte. Probably petrified wood, but not sure what kind?

    Caramel colored petrified "wood".

    Dale from Utah posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I recently found this fossilized example on the surface of the desert in east central Utah, Emery county, on the road to chimney rock. The caramel color isn't typical of the petrified wood that I've found before and I'm wondering if this might be another plant such as a palm, fern, cycad, or something else. Growth rings are present but are not particularly strong. The "sap" inside appears to have turned into a different type of mineral. The light green highlights on the surface are lichens and are not part of the stone. Any ideas as to what type of plant this is? Thanks.

    Petrified Wood - Carbonized?

    Nreekay posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hey Folks, We found this hunk this afternoon. Any idea why the piece of wood here in black is carbonized? It comes off when you rub it. Other pieces we found today are definitely fossilized, but this one is different. Any ideas? E & B

    Petrified Wood ID

    MacHoffman22 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I started collecting smaller chunks of petrified wood but sometimes find these larger chunks that I believe are also petrified wood. I would just like confirmation to make sure I am not misidentifying specimens.
  21. Jurassicz1
    So i got a few questions as im now fixing my collection. I might buy these wood shelfs. Is it good for fossils? N1 second question i got a cabinet drawer. I got some paper/cardboard boxes from a rock shop and i have printed out information about the fossils like locaiton, Age, Species/genus but will the printed paper be harmful? They are beside the fossil or under it. last question. I made my own riker boxes and made it with this Backround. Sadly I dont know the name of the Backround material i used I bought this a few years ago. N2 N2 n1

    Fossilized wood

    Rothrockbc posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion

    Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in petrified wood and permineralized wood? Thanks!
  23. jnicholes
    I volunteer at school, and while volunteering, I discovered this with some kids while working on the school garden. We were digging and getting boxes ready for the planting season. It was an interesting day! Didn’t expect to find this at a school! Makes me wonder how old it is. Jared

    Mystery object on petrified wood

    Lone Hunter posted a topic in Fossil ID

    While y'all are on the subject, wanted to get some opinions on this. I collect a lot of petrified wood, wouldn't even have picked this up if weren't for the odd thing on it. Could it be bark? It's strange how rounded off it is, and there are tiny white dots in it's trail on the slice it's on. Appears to have a pattern on it, maybe someone will recognize it as a specific type of tree.

    Petrified wood??

    Rothrockbc posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I was creek walking today and found this 15 lb piece of petrified wood. I looked up similar sized pieces but I feel like this may be "extra cool"? I don't know much about fossils but I have a passion for wood formations and this seems to be a knot from the tree with the burl or tumor in tact on the back side. My question is if it were to be sliced would it be more valuable because of the natural swirling of the burl? Or is this even a cool find at all? I'm new here guys haha! Thanks in advance for any input or comments!
