Found this in a recent deep wash along Muskegon river just showing in the sand. Thought I had a small shelf till I pulled it out. It has individual cell walls standing in many locations and multiple free and open cells. 7 full perforated passages naturally formed in various locations and directions throughout. Not one recent chip or broken edge visible. I about fell over, is this for sure Favocites Favosus? Anyone seem something like this? Thanks Jason

Hello everyone! I need your help on identifying this piece. This could possibly be a fossil because of the three plant fiber-like impressions on this small sedimentary stone. My sister found it while we were walking on a trail in Wolverine campground park in Genesee County, Michigan. If this is a fossil, then I think that these are fossil impressions of plant material. The geologic strata in Michigan ranges from the Ordovician up to the Pennsylvanian period. I've checked where Genesee county is on the Michigan geologic map, and the bedrock is of Pennsylvanian. Let me know what you think these impressions are from, thanks.

Hello everyone! Here is a fossil that I need help to identify. Yesterday I found this strange waffle-like impression in this piece of sandstone, while I was walking in the woods in the Saginaw area of Michigan. I know that the fossils that are found in Michigan are mainly from Silurian, Devonian, and Carboniferous period strata. This stone was laying in an old rock pile, that was deposited by farmers who plowed their fields. The stone is 5 1/8" x 3 1/8", and the impression itself stretches 3 1/2" across the rock. The small dark brown cube next to the stone is clay that I rolled over the Impression to make a positive cast of the fossil. From this positive, I can tell that the fossil has a snake skin pattern surface. This could've been an impression of some sort of marine or terrestrial plant, I have some ideas of what the fossil could be, but I need your help to identify and confirm what species this was. I hope these photographs are helpful, and feel free to ask for better pictures of the stone.
