Fossil coral found near the village of Palogne in the Belgian Ardennes.
Noobductive posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! This fossil was found by my older brother and father in the 2010’s on a riverbank near the Wallonian village of Palogne. I matched this locality with a map of known deposits in the region; there are both lower Devonian and dinantian-Carboniferous layers in this general area. Still, there are so many different deposits in the bigger region and since this was on a riverbank it could’ve been washed up from anywhere. Both sides and all edges are covered in either imprints, or the fossil itself (I am not familiar with it so I can’t tell). One side has more and smaller circles, the opposite side has less and bigger ones, and they are stretched/warped along the sides of this rock. It has been sitting on a shelf for years and years until I got into fossil collecting and my father gave it to me. I’d love to figure out what this is!

I found this on a river bank in rogersville TN. A place where I usually find a lot of Native American artifacts this particular object has me baffled. I don’t even know where to begin on how to identify it through a quick simple google search. How would one describe this odd-ness? Anyways, im not at all knowledgeable in the fossil department so here I am hoping someone else can help me identify this thing. thank you in advance!! I must add that it feels hard, not rock hard, but more plastic hard but feels like a bone material or shell like material.

Hi- found in the same area as others I’ve been asking about. This seems to have something of interest on it. Anything ? Or just rock ? Thanks for your help. The area is north central Ohio ( river/bank area).

Hey Fossil Gang, I had a surprising find along Canon River in Northfield Minnesota (coordinates 44.461901, -93.158759). I was skatingboarding and noticed that the banks of the river were pretty rocky so I thought it would be worth investigating, sure enough I found what appeared to be some sort of bone attached to a piece of rock protruding about half way out of the sandy soil. To me it looks like some sort of mammal jaw although I'm not sure (new to fossil hunting). I'm not sure but it seems to be more modern. If any of y'all have any input it would be greatly appreciated!

It was finally time to shake off the mud from the Fall hunt and head south to the Lethbridge, Alberta area and search the banks of the Oldman River for ammonites that many have fallen out. Ideally we like to walk along the ice on the edge of the bank. That didn't happen. The highway cam photos showed ice on the river, but our location was wide open. We had lots of wind; so much that the shale was blowing into our faces. About 100 kmh but we held on! Quite the day on the steep slopes and a few success. Imagine my surprise when a chuck I found opened to reveal some great colour. The next day we found our way the a 4500 year old medicine wheel, perched high above the prairie. Look closely in the background and you can see the modern era in the form of wind turbines. I trust everyone is staying safe and avoiding personal contacts and get over this Covid-19 thing.

I know I’m always posting “stuff” and I’m trying to patiently wait until I’m sure I have a fossil this time, so you all don’t kick me off here haha!!......but I found this yesterday on the riverbank of the Huron River. It’s in the north central area of Ohio. And I couldn’t wait to ask about it! What do you think is it coral? Thanks for your help.

Heyo! I had one more fossil I was looking to get an ID for and it looks to me like it might be a cross section of some kind of coral. It is rather faint so it might actually be nothing but I figured id give it a shot here as you guys are much better at ID than I am (until I catch up!) /\ Main pciture. /\ Here is a little closer showing the details. /\ Cross-section in case its needed. Thanks for help as usual, you guys are always great!! -Em

Hi, all! New member here. I recently began finding a lot of petrified wood on a nearby riverbank. Some of the really interesting specimens have been sitting in water for a little while and have that pesky green algae on it. I used regular temperature water and a toothbrush to start with, but it became pretty clear that ,with some of them, some very severe scrubbing was going to be involved if that's all I did. At this point, I'm trying to decide if it's stained or if I can get it off. I have no intention of polishing most of them, as I really like the look as-is. Do y'all know of any safe way to try to remove the algae and, in the process, determine if it's stained? I've seen everything from apple cider vinegar to hot water to peroxide. I'm really hesitant to use anything like Dawn or Simple Green because I just don't know what it will do to the color, texture, etc. I HAVE been told that Simple Green is a great place to start, but I thought I'd ask y'all first. I searched the forum first but didn't find anything that seemed to be a similar question. Thanks so much! I really look forward to reading as many more posts as I can besides what Google has already presented me with. There is so much good information here and, I have to admit, I'm pretty envious of some of the finds!
