Notidanodon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Just for a bit if background I was collecting at turimetta headland bear Sydney and I had found several ferns which was decent considering I only had 1 hour but on my way back I spotted these and was wondering whether they were fossils too (probably not knowing me (; )

The attached weighs 8.6 lbs I am not sure what it is and I am hoping for some guidance. I know you are an expert.

Nice day to all here ! Could anyone tell a tree? Location Czech Republic, limestone board. Because it has fallen in the limestone, the crust is quite cruel. It would probably break apart. Can you advise me to have a tip for conservation?

I've been reading about the potential for lignite to spontaneously combust, which has gotten me thinking a bit. It's mentioned in the Wikipedia page for Lignite, as well as in paper such as this: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010218002005539 I sometimes collect pieces of lignite from locations around the UK, if they preserve the shape and texture of the wood. Is there any risk of them suddenly bursting into flames? I'd have thought not, since I've never heard of such a thing happening, but then I suppose not many people collect these bits because they usually fall to pieces after a while (I treat them through soaking in a sugar solution to preserve them). Any thoughts?

Hi, found near Fernley, NV...many unusual shapes in area. Possible Petrified Wood/Opal...? Thank you so much.

I found these yesterday on a terrace near the Brazos. Any help with ID is very appreciated!

This is said to be a crystallized wood fossil from Liaoning, China. Do you think it is a wood fossil or simply a crystal ?

Hello, I've got 13 fossils of which I'm not sure what they are. All fossils are bought, which is why I can't say much about the geological layer and location they're from. I used a ruler with inches and cm sizing. I don't really have to know the 100% exact specimen (please feel free to give the details though if you have them), I would like to have a general idea of what I'm looking at. 1. Sold to me as bamboo, not sure if it is: 2. Sold as a waterlily, its a cross-section: 3. same story as up. I don't know what it actually is: 4. looks like a lizard foot, but it's probably coral. 5. Some kind of crazy stain?? 6. This is obviously a tooth of a carnivore, I would like to know if its mammalian or from a dinosaur. For this one, I would love to know the specifics but shoot away with your ideas on it. 7. Looks like bone, mammalian? Is it even bone? 8. Another piece of supposed to be bone. 9. Bone/wood? who knows? 10. looks like its bone, but really don't know.. 11. Looks like something from the sea... 12. Could be a tooth of a herbivore, could also be anything else. 13. The last of the bunch, its sold to me as coprolite but it doesn't really look like it. I would love to know your ideas on this collection. I am an amateur collector and I can identify some fossils/stones but for these, I really need your help. Thanks in advance.

I have a lot of small fossils, both vertebrates and invertebrates, that are starting to clutter around my apartment in junky plastic bins and bags. It is starting to get out of hand. I need something that is good for on a budget, but has the capacity to hold a large number of fossils and keep them safe. I do not want to display them, just keep them organized. I like the idea of having a wood cabinet of shallow drawers. I have been on the search for a decently priced wood map cabinet for a long time now, but I am coming up short. All of them are either far too small or way to expensive. Further, I have heard that certain woods like oak can release harmful acids to fragile fossils, and I have quite a few fossils that are very thin and prone to deterioration. Does anyone know of anything that I might be able to use for a decent price? I don't have a lot of time to build my own set. I do have a circular saw, drill press, and a sanding wheel, but if it takes more than a weekend to build, it is not worth the time to me. But I am open to anyone offering some plans to build a simple storage solution. Thanks!

Any info on what this might be, or ideas for further research. Acquired from person in Texas who had no information on where it was found. The reddish brown area and paler surround are a totally different material than the main part, and the 2 smaller protrusions look similar to bone matrix, if that''s the correct term. Thanks for any input. PS: After adding 2 pics, I deleted them, but when trying to upload new picture, pop up says I am only allowed 3.9m, and will not let me add another pic. (I may not be smart enough to use this forum...)

Echinoid, pectinids, wood and leaf from Italy
adriano posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Dear all, I have many duplicates in my collection and I would like to exchange them with other fossils from around the world. I'm interested in any kind of fossils, (dinosaur) teeth in particular. #1 This should be a piece of echinoid. A gift from a friend, it may have been found in Italy. #2 Fossil wood slice (probably from USA). #3 and #4 Pectinids from Favignana, Sicilia, Italy. #5 Unknown piece of marine fossil from Sorrento (Amalfi Coast), Italy.

Honestly, I do not know anything about fossils. I just want to know, what is this thing that my grandfather gave me years ago? Is it some kind of bone? Wood? It's about 12 cm long, heavy, and stone like.

I’m located on the southern tip of the hard coal region of Schuylkill County adjacent the Blue Mountain with a terrific view of the Hamburg Gap. It is my hope that this forum would be the perfect venue to identify, date and just gather information on items that have been gathered over many years.

Hello everyone, I went to a fossil hunting trip in Alicante, Spain and I found this weird shaped rock. I dont know if it could be fossilized wood or just a funny shaped rock. It's from the eocene and the place around it was full of nummulites. You could also find some echinoids and gastropods but more rarely. Thanks for your help!

I found a lot of things during a visit to Walton on the Naze in England, but I'm curious about these at the moment. They resemble wood, such as small branches and twigs. I've tried to do research on them but I'm not really coming up with a definite answer. They don't appear petrified (at least to my untrained eye), so I'm wondering if they are fossilized branches. Or maybe nothing at all! If you need better pictures please let me know, I can do that tomorrow when the sun is (hopefully!) shining. Also, if someone can tell me how to tell the difference between a fossil shell and a more modern one, that would be great! I collected a ton of shells and I'm not sure what may be fossilized and what is definitely modern. Thanks!
