Dear scientific community, My name is Travis Montgomery, I am a geophysicist from Vancouver, Canada and am a recreational rock collector. I was scavenging around and looked down, and picked up what appears to be a pebble sized petrified organ (heart or liver) i know my rocks fairly well and it’s way too smooth/ large to be a well weathered piece of chert. So what now? Obviously a very rare piece, if it is even possible to silicify soft tissue. Please contact me directly if you are interested in more details Regards, Travis Montgomery, BSc

Hi All; I found this in a stream bed in Northern California. It looks like a heart and had some unusual indentions & stippling that caught my eye. Any help to let me know if this is a fossil would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Q

Found this in a stream bed in Northern California near Yosemite. It caught my eye & I thought it looked interesting. Looking for assistance in identifying if its a fossil. 57EAE5E6-0341-4DE9-9DF5-C71DE7B950BA.heic FBA4D04A-EF8C-4B88-8A9A-0F439E55C6C1.heic A2410DFD-DA95-47D2-AB7A-766C1C114715.heic 4AD3902D-2405-402A-9232-B803429A37B7.heic C0F44A10-076A-4277-AED5-7A45106DD5FF.heic EC820CA1-3224-4942-816C-F54A218DFE45.heic 7436F5F0-3137-4FEF-B29E-7A7CAE0B567C.heic 64BAC714-E8A3-4740-B1AD-4C5F30B4D2E1.heic 0ED11F6F-D6E7-4B81-BE3A-A5237C4CF3BB.heic 773F2539-F2FA-403F-9B0D-6DDC047905AB.heic

Found in NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI, USA My mom and my nephew found this "rock" a few years ago. I was telling my mom about this group, she asked me to post this here. She's wondered for years if it could potentially be a Petrified heart, it has what appears to be valves on it. She doesn't know who she would contact to find out if it is a Petrified heart, so if anyone knows who to contact about this, we'd appreciate it. It weighs 1.92lbs. Thought you guys would think it was cool.

This is not a joke, I'm not trying to get attention, I want people to know the truth so that they can form their OWN conclusions based on scientific fact. What I'm presenting has not been tampered with as to fool you. I have kept it minimal. If you are really interested then you must see it in person. I'm near Reserve, NM. FACT: A HEART CAN BE CRYSTALLIZED. FIRST IMAGES - Illustration of heart filled (taken from youtube video "heart anatomy"), then heart emptying, then heart empty). Notice the shape of the heart when emptied. I bet a lot of you didn't know that. I didn't either. The crystal is heavy for it's size. It is about 8.5 inches from top to bottom. 5.5 inches wide. 4.5 inches depth. I just washed it with water and then coated it in mineral oil. Anatomically correct crystal (amethyst) heart. What is amethyst made of? Fe3... Where is Fe3 found? In blood? Yep. The bottom of the heart is a it should be... the base is where it broke from the diaphragmatic surface and you can see the attachments. I'm could go on and on but I'm just gonna post this and see what happens. Unfortunately the wildfire nearby is obstructing my main interest in obtaining photographs of... something big. Watch for my next post of Mayan (not really sure, meso-american then?) Crystallized artwork

petrified shrunken human heart? animal? seed?
Phishwood posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I have had this in my collection for nearly 20 years. There is a story on me finding it, but I will hold off on that. I am curious if anyone knows what it is for certain. I have my ideas. It feels and has a weight that seems to be petrified.

Hi I have built a case on all the Rocks I have shown and tried to send to you.and I get shut down at every corner for answers or anything.this is a real fossil like object very light has all the right flakiness and looks like a real heart.

Inspired by the general theme of this thread: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/91990-what-fossils-should-be-in-every-collector’s-collection/&, this statement by @5 Humper >>a collection should include comparative sets of homologous bones within taxonomic units<< and some lovely couples that were already posted unintentionally (Wyoming fish, Trilos etc.), but recognized as such, I would like to ask if you have a couple/pair of fossils (regardless if the fossils are in one "rock" or if they are two individual fossils), that has a special and deeper, intellectual or emotional meaning to you. And yes, I would not have asked if I had not my own favorite couple: It´s a pair of rudists (what else? ) from St. Bartholomä, Styria, Austria. Some of you my have seen my "best" specimens from there in this thread: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/91514-some-rudists-from-the-campanian-st-bartholomä-formation-gosau-group-eastern-alps-st-bartholomä-styria-austria/ But none of these rudists is as lovely (for me ) as this two specimens together: They are ok on its own, but together they are wow to me. But why do I like this couple so much? My very personal thoughts: First, one shows the beginning of a rudist, the other one shows the end with parts of the upper valve. Together, they are complete - emotional Second, the are a nice couple in the sense of a couple (nearly the same size, somewhat similar in shape but also differences, etc.) - emotional Third, they were found more or less accidentally, one within and the other on the litter of a forest. No digging involved - emotional Fourth, they have no "modern" dings, they just suffered some borings 80 million years ago, some pressure solution several dozen million years ago and weathering during the last few hundred years. They are somewhat "pristine" in their own sense - emotional So it seems purely emotional, why I like this couple so much . Whats your favorite couple? And why? Thanks! Franz Bernhard

What could this be? Just a rock or a fossil as i have theorized. My guess is that it could be a kind of marine fossilized arthropod, with fossilized inner organs, i know it is not very common but thats what makes more.sense to me. . It was found in the rivershore in Bilbao, in lower cretaceous sediments, i found some sea-urchin fossils there too. . Thanks a lot!
