These aren’t exact examples, but they’re very good representations as to what I mean- -Is it rare to find Permian fossils with that bone colored white glossy surface patina, like right here?

Ive seen a couple "fossils" recently, that have a feature that makes me wonder if they're authentic. Especially because the fossil on one looks more like it's been just stained on the rock surface, than having any actual impression. My question on here though, is if fossils can continue over creases on a rock, that appear to be a break in the level/time (the crooked line going along the underside of the apparent appendage). It's not an actual clear separate level, so I know a fossil could lay across an inconsistency on the original surface, but this one looks more like a break, so I'm wondering if this angle is possible.

I newely collected this copal. But, there are lots of crazing on it't surface. I can sure it is copal because i do acetone test so this is more weak then amber. I thinking about grinding this nicely with soft cloth and tooth paste. I want to know it is ok to copal, and how to store it without crazing. Thanks for your help, and apologize to my short English...

Hello guys! While I was around Kugaaruk in Nunavut, Canada, I've found this nice ammonite. It was on the sea shore, on the surface, I just had to flip a rock to find it. The fossil itself is about 7 cm in diameter. Is it detailed enough to identify it properly? Thank you!

Hi folks, We had a nice rain last night. Walked around the upper yellow shale garden and found these rinsed off lying on the surface. Sort of strange, this is (practically) the only fossil I've found here in this spot. Just 200 yds. away is my other dig site that has all of the other examples I've posted, but none of the orthoceras has been found there. I suppose there are many layers separating them, makes me wonder what the timeline would be relating to the different exposed areas. The bulk of the orthoceras seems to be in one end of my current tilling. Soon I plan to extend the plowed area a bit further up the ridge in search of higher concentrations. Cheers.
