    Mask for Fossil Prep - USA - Ammonite

    Pretty much the title- i have an ammonite i split recently. I started prep outside using safety a dremel 290 and wearing goggles and a paint respirator, worked for maybe an hour in total- but then i read about safety on zoicpaleotech and got terrified of getting/having given myself silicosis. Now i’m struggling to find the proper type of protection to continue- i cant find the one mask they suggested on the website, and i dont know how to pick a good one that will protect me against silica and other stuff. Any good suggestions?

    What could this be?

    Can someone help me figure out what this is?
  3. Have a piece of matrix with urchins on it. But they are on a thin bit of matrix that seems to be raised up bit from the rest of matrix. Was wanting see if there was something should do to help protect it or just leave if as is. The edge of some areas of the raised part are very thin seem like could flake. The raised up middle area seems to be all the way around the matrix but no on the 1 side. Will add photos best could to try show raised up parts. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5
  4. I found this today while out side on a river bed. The part i found it at is usually not seen & covered by water but the river is unusually dry so i found it on an exposed part. I’ve tried reverse image search & using a rock identifier but can’t find anything that looks similar besides other kinds of fossils. I’m really interested in learning what it is!!! i live in southern minnesota.

    Rock Identification Help!

    Found this while hiking in texas, unsure of what it is! It flakes relatively easily, shiny when light is shined on it, and it is a white color IMG_9663.mov

    Any ideas of who lost their tooth?

    I found this tooth at El Capitán Beach on the coast by Santa Barbara in the mid 90’s. Any idea who lost their tooth? I’ve wondered what animal this tooth belonged to. Can anyone help me identify it?

    Help for fossil ID

    We found this today while sifting for shark teath at Caspersen Beach Fla. It is 1 inch long and 5/8s wide. We think it’s really beautiful, and any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated!

    In need of help

    I found this on the banks of the Mississippi River in Illinois. So I don’t know where it originated. So I can’t help with age or formation or even a general location. I posted on a couple fossil pages on Facebook and going to try here. Any help will be great. Rough size is in pictures but they are 7.93 mm wide and 6.31 mm tall roughly. If you have questions I’ll try to answer them the best I can. Thank you

    Fossil ID help

    Looking to get fossils id'd. 20231115_094950.heic
  10. Hi folks! I'm relatively new to the Dallas area (about 4 years now) and very new to rockhounding/fossil hunting. I've done some of the basic hunting in the fossil parks, but I'm looking to branch out and find new things. I keep seeing the Atco and Kamp Ranch names thrown around, but I have no idea how to actually locate them. I understand that they are part of larger formations, but as someone who doesn't have any training in natural sciences I'm not really sure where to look. The few times I've attempted to find somewhere off the beaten path I've been unsuccessful at finding anything besides calcite. If anyone is willing to share any helpful hints or trusty references I would appreciate it!

    Sulphur, IN Tips?

    Hi everyone, this is my first post! Does anyone have any tips on locating a tooth near Sulphur, Indiana? It’s a personal goal! I don’t expect anyone to give away a “secret location” or anything of that nature. I’m willing to put in the work! Thank you! 🙂

    identification?

    Hi, My niece found this fossil (?) in Paris, Kentucky on 2/4/24. Looks like coral but I would very much appreciate help with the identification. I searched online but I’m not exactly sure where to look. Would love to know what it is!! Thanks, CAGANNON

    What in the heck did I find?

    I found this strange rock at the oregon coast. Lincoln city, Oregon. It is quite heavy and is flourescent under UV light. Is this a fossilized coral? or sponge? Or is it nothing at all? Thanks for your help

    Insect id help

    I found an insect that needed help with. Was thinking at first it was a beetle, then wasn't sure. The back made me think beetle but then the head seemed like ant or maybe I'm just way off. If anyone knows the id of the insect or just if its beetle, ant or another type of insect not thinking of would be thankful any help. Will post both halves. #1 ( first photo measure)( first half) #1 ( first again little closer turned) ( first half) #2 (second half)
  15. Unable to confidently I.D. both sides: Ginkgo leaf impression possibly? (1st pic next to quarter) More than 1...2(?) differentiating compressions/ impressions
  16. Hiya everyone someone’s selling a trilobite, but hasn’t got a name or locality, normally I can tell straight away if a trilobite is real but the pictures aren’t the best and it’s like no trilobite I’ve seen, not sure if it’s a replica or a fake made to look like a isotelus.
  17. Had a fossil I found from Florissant Colorado shale needed help with. Wasn't sure if it was just plant matter or a seed of some kind. Got both halves will post. #1 (first half) #2 (second half)

    Early stages of Trilobite life

    I was hoping to put together a little display of the stages of a trilobite. I needed help being sure of the earlier stages. I have found drawing of the earliest stages but not photos. There have been many circles bits found but they have been bigger then the mini trilobites I've find. As well the ones I've found that are little circles with center parts, can be hard to tell if its just 1 segment of a Peronopsis Interstricta. Had a few photos. See if they maybe right for the early stages. Thanks for any help. #1 #2 #2(closer)

    Heading to Nova Scotia

    Hi all! i hope this is the right spot to post this. I am heading to Nova scotia soon and will be in the New glasgow/antigonish area. What sort of fossils are found there (if any) and are there any good spots around there i should know about? thank you in advance
  20. Hello, I found this on my parents land in a pile of dirt they dug up. They live in Milesburg, PA. The object from this picture is about a foot long and about 4-5 inches in width. It has some kind of texture on the top of it, which you can see from the photos. It also has what looks like skin texture on the sides of it? The markings/holes on both sides seem to be in the same spots. The bottom of it fell off, so I included a pic of where it broke off from and what it looks like inside. It is also very heavy.
  21. Hello, i'm currently looking at acquiring a Keichousaurus Hui fossil and was wondering if anyone could review the images and give feedback on whether its real, and in what level of condition this sits at if so. i.e is this in poorer condition due to prep, etc. Thanks in advance!

    Question about amber

    I was hoping to get a piece of amber with insect inside and was wondering if there was any good way to know if its real from photos? Or anything to have a better chance of it being real? I've heard when you have the piece can test like (salt water/uv light) but would be nice to not end up with fakes.
  24. I need some help with my website. If there's anyone out in the TFFverse that is knowledgeable, shoot me a PM. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
