In this video there are two pine cones. The big one is from Argentina, and the small one is an opal from Australia

Hello, I'm curious what the deal is with fossil pinecones. Are very rare or in high demand? Do they take a lot of time to prep? I would think they'd preserve easily and hence be quite common, at least compared to something like permineralized fleshy fruit, but they seem relatively scarce and quite popular. Thanks.

Several years ago I found this odd rock laying on the beach on the Oregon Coast. I don't remember if it was from the Nye or Yaquina Formation. It could be younger I suppose. My first impression is that it's a sandstone cast of a pine cone that has been tumbled with the cobbles in the surf. I would appreciate any input as to what you more knowledgeable folks think it is. Thank you This is another cone like fossil showing in the bedrock of the Yaquina Formation, Lincoln County, Oregon It's about 6" long.

My husband and I found this in Myrtle Beach, SC this week. It's not wood or bone, so we are wondering if it is feather or fern. Your help is needed. Thanks!

Hello! These are from McHenry County, in Northern Illinois. About 40 years ago, they dug a pond near my house. When they got about 15' down, the excavator started bringing up large logs (they seemed like whole trees,) and lots of smelly gray clay full of shells, wood, and pine cones. The explanation I heard back in the day was about 10,000 years ago, the glacier came through and buried everything. The pictures show some of the items I collected back then. I've gotten curious about them again and figured someone here might know about this kind of thing. My questions are Fossil doesn't seem like the correct term... What do you call these? Does the glacier buried everything story hold up? How unusual is this? I'd appreciate any insight you have. Thanks in advance! Kim

Most of the fossils I have found in this area are ocean related like Brachiopods, Gastropods, and Broazoan. But this rock fossil is quite different from any I've seen. Searching online, I thought I may find something similar. The closest that similarity is possibly a pine cone. Please let me know what you think. This rock has a rounded triangular shape. The measurement across the bottom of the 1st pic is about 44 mm. The height is about 38 mm. The petal-shaped pieces inside measure about 10 to 12 mm.
