ID requested on possible petrified wood (maybe bone?) found in Tennessee Cumberland Plateau
Rdwills posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone. I recently moved to central Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau where I have been enjoying hunting stone points in the creeks and woods. I recently found some chunks of what I thought might be petrified wood and would be grateful for ID help. Here are the details per the ID TIPS post: Date: Found February 2023 Location: Van Buren County, Tennessee USA Site details: bank of a small creek in close proximity to a spring Found with: a few stone points and stone point fragments and some smaller pieces of possible bone or petrified wood Dimensions: longest side approx. 79mm, width approx. 65mm, thickness approx. 45mm. Weight: 5 oz/142 grams thanks for looking and for any help.- 2 replies

I'm still trying to find an example of a xenomorph for @Rockwood and I ran across this strange scene on my 57 pound rock (yes, we weighed it) from my son's land in Pulaski, TN. I know from what I learned here that the pink part is trepostome bryozoan fossils (I love the coloring, by the way!). It appears to have almost a shell over it, though? And in another place a portion of it is "peeking through" the shell like substance? Is that another type of encrusting bryozoan? If so, would that make this a xenomorph? Thanks! Ramona

I found this bone on the shore of the Wolf River in TN near the Dale Hollow reservoir. Curious to know what it might be. The bone looks fossilized but I have no idea. Any ideas what this might be?

another bedrock small one inch an half. Fossil? Has hole in center one side of rock is about half an inch and the hole goes down inside half of that at least, sorta curvy an lots of texture. I tried my 5x magnifying lamp to look inside an tried the flashlight while taking picture. I just took one pic of the 19 pics in a group -if it will load, didn't know which pic (if any) is well enough to see. It was in the flowerbeds where I found the other fossil rock. I can bring up individuals if you want a bigger few of certain ones.

It has it all around it an on the ends this one was mostly covered. It might be 2” long an half inch tall on ends an almost a inch tall at tallest point for size. Some shell it looks. I found it in my aunts flowerbeds she had bought rock in 1969 to cover 7 beds. So when I weeded them I'd dig out interesting ones. She's had the same rocks since then. She'd have the rocks cleaned an put back . Kodak, TN. I thought it was the most interesting one. Thought to share. Thank you.

So, I found this in an area of TN where several marine fossils have turned up (various Gastropoda, trilobites, and more), but this was unearthed at the site of some serious deep water erosion and a small land slide at the banks of a lake. It looks to me like a skull of some sort, where the animal in question perhaps keeled over and laid for a looong time on its right side, hence the “squashing” of that surface. Apart from the somewhat mashed right side, and some chipping to the snout, it’s otherwise perfectly symmetrical.

Well while letting Maximus take a swim in the lake. . I looked down and there it was plain as day, my new cephalopod. I didn't go out to find fossils today but I did all the same. As I moved the rocks from around it I prayed it wasn't part of a huge rock that I could'nt move, but luck was on my side. I found it at the Percy Priest Lake here in middle Tn.
