    Coal Fossils

    Howdy all, Found some plant fossils inside some coal plates eroding out if a creek in Edmonson County. This one is pretty clearly a stigmaria and I've labeled it as Lepidodendrales indet. This next one I'm pretty sure is a wood fragment from a cordaites, though, I could be wrong. To my knowledge, cordaites is the only woody plant in the area. I compared the grain to that of some cordaites petrified wood and it looks pretty similar. this next one is on the same plate as the previous one. I'm not entirely sure what it is but it looks similar to the grain of palm or bamboo wood. I want to say this is pith from a Calamites but I'm unsure. . This appears to be a leaf impression, I'm guessing a species of calamites, though possibly some sort of pteridosperm. I also found some large calamites stems in the same site in a coal plate but I was unable to take them with me, as they were very brittle and falling apart. I unfortunately do not have any pictures, but they did have visible nodes.

    Fancy fossil

  3. My partner randomly suggested we go fossil hunting at Turimetta. I've never been fossil hunting and I was surprised by how much we actually found. I haven't uploaded pictures of everything we found bc it's mostly just plant matter that I've managed to find similar pictures of in other forums. I'm curious to know if the rusty-orange coloured ones are anything. Was really exciting to find them when carefully splitting rocks in half! There's also a tiny ball shape I found when I split open a rock and it almost looked like a tiny soccer ball or pine cone because of the lines in it. It didn't show up quite as clearly on camera sadly. And there's another rock with a cylindrical shape in the side of it. I thought that was very interesting so I took lots of angles. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Another carbon plant

    Hi, Another carboon plant , from the Piesberg Some suggestions in the forum Could it be a part of the calamites? foto 1,2 are from the same matrix foto 3,4,5 are from another matrix But all are Piesberg samples Vincent
  6. Hi, Another ID help question, I wasn't sure if these might be fish scales or plant fossils or something else. These are from Missouri, not sure of the age or more precise location unfortunately.

    Cladophlebis texensis, Lewisville Formation

    From the album: Woodbine Formation

    Cladophlebis texensis, North TX Cenomanian, Cretaceous July, 2022 These tiny ferns lived on the deltaic plain amongst Protohadros and other dinosaurs. Eventually they were swept away and carefully preserved in these mudstones. Truly a unique Cretaceous find for TX. Sometime soon, I want to revisit this site and search for other unusual fossils perhaps of insects or even feathers. A dino tooth wouldn't be so bad either.

    Petrified Cactus?

    Found these just off the lake. Looks like a prickly cactus. No expert and would love to hear if anyone knows or has seen these. I’ve searched and not been able to successfully ID. Sonoran Desert, Colorado River, Lake Mohave.

    New here

    Hi, I´m living in Germany and I love fossils since I´m a little boy. Me and my brother grew up in an old coal mining area in West Germany and would found fossilized plants and ferns behind our garden.
  14. My wife and I went on a fossil hunting trip yesterday to check out a Triassic spot, New Oxford formation, in northeastern York county, Pennsylvania. It took us a bit to find the spot but once we did, we made a couple nice finds. The first rock is about 30 cm long, about 23 cm wide, and about 15 cm thick. It weighs almost 13 kilograms (about 28 pounds). While I'm not absolutely certain, I think this piece has several tree branches running through it. Branch #1, about 23 cm long and about 3 cm wide Branch #2, about 24 cm long and about 2 cm wide Underneath of branch #2, were several black pieces. I'm guessing they're carbonized pieces of the wood? Branch #3 about 12 cm long and about 3-4 cm wide. Branch #4 (ok maybe this one is more like a twig!) 6 cm long and about 1 cm wide The second rock is about 23 cm long, about 13 cm wide, and about 7 cm thick. It weighs almost 3 kilograms (about 6 pounds). This rock only has one plant fossil that I could see. It is about 8.5 cm long and 1.5 cm across. You can see what appears to be a cast of the branch with an imprint on the side going up from the cast. These last two pieces I'm unsure of whether they are plant fossils or just some interesting geologic somethings. This is mystery piece #1 This is mystery piece #2 This was our first Triassic spot! We were excited to make these finds. After hitting our fair share of Devonian and some Carboniferous spots it was nice to find a different time period and new, to us, fossils! Hopefully, I've correctly identified these finds as plant fossils! If anyone could recommend a resource to help us identify Triassic plants that would be very helpful!
  15. Hello fellow fossil people! I have this plant that is very unique compared to any others I have found at this site. It is from the Rhode Island formation in North Attleboro. It is about a centimeter long. Some of the pictures are taken at 20x magnification. Any ideas?

  17. Hello all! I was scrolling through my home state’s fossil page when I came across this post from someone claiming they had a “special spot“ in western Kentucky where they found all of these fossils. Someone in the comments inquired about the ID, and he told them they are fossilized jellyfish. Obviously, these are not fossilized jellyfish. My first thought was geodized crinoid calyces, but then I looked closer and counted the plates- six rather than five, which is not what I’m used to for a typical calyx. Any thoughts?

    walchian conifer

  19. Hi everyone, I'd like to know your opinion on an item I found during a trip to a former (since turned into a museum) coal mine in Belgium, near the Liège (Luik) area. The coal that was mined there was created during the Westphalian. Massive amounts of waste from the mine were dumped out near it and fossils can be found there. Among this rubble I found an item that I suspect to be an imprint from a plant or tree but it could also be a pseudofossil as I have no idea how to properly id it. Any help on getting an id would be greatly appreciated! To be clear: the units on the ruler are millimeters and not centimeters. For this next image I held the item at an angle to get better lightning so the grooves are more clearly visible: Finally, the last image is the underside of the item, which is how must of the usual rubble at the mine looks: Thanks in advance!
