I am on vacation in Maine when I came across this weird rock that was completely different from all different rocks in the area. It had an outer layer that was very cracked up, but could easily be broken off from the the other layer, like a shell. It was fairly heavy, but it seemed so weirdly different!

A few weeks ago I received my one of a kind magic photo cube. I've had my eye on one of these bad boys since I first started lurking around the forum, and was so excited to finally get one of my own. A very big thanks to @aerogrower (Ray) for his fine craftsmanship, speedy delivery and willingness to make special piece for me. When asked if it was possible to get a bi-colored cube, Ray enthusiastically accepted the challenge and my blue and green cube turned out great! Now I just need to learn how to take a decent picture.

The rock I am posting today does not contain calcium. I does contain agate. It is uniquely formed and is very laminated both on the surface and throughout the agate portion. What do you think, fossil algae or pseudofossil? or

Hello. I got amazing spider in Baltic Amber and i am really happy for this ! ARCHAEA PARADOXA in beautiful position.

Hello, been away from the site for a while, but definitely not the hobby. Made contact with some interesting folks at skullstore.ca (Toronto, ON, Canada) and the collection and knowledge has been growing since. Check out their website and instagram, very neat stuff. Here's some items from my collection. One photo is me holding my new Green River Knightia Plate. Am I wrong or is there 2 kinds of knightia on there? It's cool because there are several cleaves with other unique fossils clearly poking out from underneath, but i wouldn't risk the plate's integrity on a whim. Any professionals near ottawa want to have a look? Here's a Branchiosaurus (Gill Lizard) 225 million year old (permian) from Pfalz, Germany. A large unknown dinosaur species' leg bone portion; cut and polished at the bottom. Can see the marrow and vein cavities. If only I had time to document them all, but just to tease I also have: fossil manatee jaw (10,000yrs old from florida), ammonites, spinosaurus teeth 3" long, giant megalodon teeth, shark and whale vertebrae, mammoth leg portions, awesome petrified wood from ontario with crystallized resin patches, bison bones half fossilized from the holocene, and much much more. More to come anyways, always enjoy sharing. Please post comment and enjoy, any fossil topic encouraged.
