Hi everyone, I forgot to post this in another post where I asked for a fossil ID. I am posting it now. The last time I went out looking for fossils, I went to a travertine deposit in the canyon near Twin Falls, Idaho. I found an odd rock that looked like a carrot. I also found this there. It’s extremely thin, maybe about 1 to 2 mm thin. I have no idea what it is, or if it’s even a fossil or not. If it is a fossil, what is it? If it’s not a fossil, then I really need to do research and find a new place to look around. I haven’t found any interesting fossils since I moved to near Twin Falls, Idaho. It’s discouraging, actually. Anyway, let me know what you think it is. Jared.

Here's one of my really nice invert fossils. A little crab, almost perfectly preserved in a cave made of Travertine. Quality varies wildly with these, this isnt a super high quality one but ever since I saw one of these on an auction site I wanted one and this one was most affordable for me. Anyone else here own one of these? Lmk!

Hi all! Found in Lansing, NY near Cayuga lake in a drainage wash out but I do not recognize it as a native stone or coming from the formations that I've seen over the past 6 months. I've been on the fence about posting this as I wasn't sure it was a fossil but after getting some decent macro photos, I'm seeing some curious details and I am not sure if this could be a coral or bryozoan colony of some sort or another amazing example of geological wonders. We had major flooding last year, creeks and streams broke their banks, and I found this stuck in a pile of tree trunks 3 feet above the normal water levels. This area is known for Devonian fossils and this doesn't look like anything in my guide books for the area. Thank you for your time. It's a big beast, I have one photo with scale for total size. I apologize in advance for not having scale on the macro photos. Need to work on that. Edit: I tried to enhance the photos with contrast and removing yellowing from my phone camera. Please let me know if it looks good or if I've over done the contrast, etc., Thank you!

Hello, during the weekend I attended the fossil fair (the first one in 1,5 year) and I bought such specimen, however the seller had no idea about either the age of the whereabouts of it, as he purchased it as a part of a large collection. I have found here on TFF a thread with pictures that present fossils looking exactly like this one, posted by @abbysunder - Any idea where it may come from and how old it is? Regards, Kasia
