I collected at a deposit yesterday near Locust Gap, PA and came back with several plant fossils, including this unknown bark. My initial thought is that it of calamites sp. but the gap between the striations is much larger than what I ordinarily associate with calamites. The first two photos are of the unknown bark and the third photo is of what I know to be calamites. I hope you can see the difference.

Hi! I've found that rock on a cliff near some fisherman houses by a beach here from my town. There are some vulcanic rocks on the area too. Here are some pictures of the rock. I found those "plant marks" strange. Could that be a fossil?

Collected from the K. jason subzone within the Lower Oxford Clay of Peterborough. I thought it could potentially be a palm leaf due to the veins, though wood is prolific - a leaf would be atypical of marine deposits? GBP 1 pence piece for size reference Any help would be much appreciated. Jacob.

Discovered this about 10 km upstream from the Mackenzie River bridge on the north bank while fishing. I was thinking it was covered in plant impressions, although I do not know what era it is so I will leave that for the experts to decide. I'm always grateful to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions, as well as learn something new. Thanks

So, I'm looking to get a good week-ish long trip in before July. Can't head out to Green River as planned, so I have to stick to the southeast. I have heard quite a bit about Pennsylvanian plants from 'bama, so I've decided to take a trip there while I have the chance. Any pointers as to good localities?

As a child, like all children, I began to get involved in dinosaurs. In a small provincial town, there was only one library with a one book about dinosaurs. Every weekend, when my peers were playing games, I spent a couple of hours with my mother in the library-drawing dinosaurs in my album, and wrote in a notebook facts about them. Time passed I grew up, but passion for paleontology has not gone anywhere. It became one of my Hobbies. My opportunities have expanded and it was possible to go to paleontological travel or to buy fossil. My first sample in making a replica. It was very interesting to do.

The plant. And probable egg were found at the Wichita, KS airport in a area meant to be part of landscaping. Would like possible names and age range. Will upload vertebrae on different post.

I found these fossils in a single rock in Gelsenkirchen (Halde Rheinelbe) at the weekend. I believe most of them are Alethopteris, but with some of them I'm not sure (e.g. #1, 3 (tree bark?), 7) Maybe @Nimravis #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8

The whole area where I found it in Bochum, Germany might be on an old dump of the local colliery here, so it might be carboniferous. Is this an Alethopteris "leaf"? 1€ coin for scale Greetings!

While backpacking in the Cranberry Wilderness I found this soccer size rock with what appears to be carbonized plant material encased in a sandstone matrix. Can anyone shed further light on this specimen? Thank you

I found this little rock among the river rock that's used as decoration at work. Just over 1.5" long by 1" tall & 3/8" at its thickest. The rocks are from a local quarry here in Central Washington State. It seems familiar, but I cant quite place it. The 3rd picture (bottom) show's it growing through the rock. Any idea's?

Hi all, would appreciate some help identifying these plants from Svalbard, near Longyearbyen. To my understanding they are from a rock layer about 40 million years old. Thanks, Jay #1

Over the winter I was freezing and thawing nodules found in reclaimed coal mine spoils from the Pennsylvanian Shelburn Formation, Busseron Sandstone from Vigo County Indiana. These contain flora and rare fauna similar to the Braidwood Biota from Mazon Creek. This nodule split off a tiny bit on one end and I set aside for further investigation after a quick glance revealed an interesting pattern. Then I forgot about until I was recently unpacking from a move, and re-examined it under magnification. Unfortunately, the piece that split off the end was lost, so I only have the one side, but it shows a small rectangular patch of texture, about 10 mm wide. The piece preserved shows folds and wrinkles, as well as what looks like a tear in the center, and looking under magnification reveals the entire piece is covered with tiny pebbly bumps. My first assumption would be plant material, but it doesn't match the texture of any of the other plants I have found at this site. A much less likely option would be a patch of skin from some sort of animal or egg casing. I would like to get it under greater magnification and will try to find an expert to look at it, but I wanted to put the best pictures I was able to take here for y'all's thoughts. Thanks!

My friend recently kindly helped me buy a really cool plant fossil, the slate is around 24 cm in length and is extremely heavy and solid. There are multiple other leaves in the slate, I have no clue where it is from or what species of plant it is. Is it a kind of Palm plant? All information would be helpful. Regards, indominus rex

I picked up this cool fossil while walking back. I’m guessing it’s a plant fossil? Found at saltwick bay, Yorkshire.
