himey7877 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Can y'all help identify these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Moved to FOSSIL ID. Where were these found? Last one looks like a spiriferid brachiopod. The others just look like limestone and chert - not fossils. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

fifbrindacier Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I agree, there's fossils only in the last photo and they're brachiopods.

I'm not sure what the first 2 pics are, but the last one appears to have some shell hash in it. Can you tell us something about the stratigraphy where you found these things?

I’m guessing most of the quartz on your property is chert. It’s unlikely that kimberlite occurs there. Kimberlite deposits are rare. Here is a map showing kimberlite deposits in the US. It is from 1976 Journal of geology volume 84, #4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himey7877 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 i showed it to basically a rock guy that appraised some quartz and jasper i have. i have shown him several rocks hes the one that suggested this sight and or the us geological survey people. they bone fossilized bone i hav he cant identify he is more of a gem and ore guy. as far as the brachiopods and trilobites there is a strip of land running across my land thats full of rocks with those and rocks with crystalized cavities some of these cavities have brachiopod impressions that have crystalized. i am honestly knew to all this. i recently became disabled and was rock collecting to fill time. i came across quarts with gold veins and the rest is history. and im trying to learn basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himey7877 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 the quartz the chert the agate the jasper and even kimberlite is not as uncommon as you would think here as i am an hr away from old diamond mines in arkansas. and minutes away from where quartz and gold ore are actually found in rock quarries. fossils interest me though and is what i need help identifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 There is a good variety of geologic ages in your area including Devonian, Ordovician, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian. I’m pretty sure the bone is just a chert nodule, but I’m sure you’ll find some nice fossils in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himey7877 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 a partial Mammoth was unearthed not far from me and i know folks in tahlequah who found fossilized dung and sold it. thank you for the maps as well. i appreciate you guys answering my questions. because to be honnest i worked in rock quarries and cement plants before MS took working from me and while ive always been interested in these subjects now im on disability with nothing but time to explore and learn.

BobWill Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 We ask for information about the age to eliminate possibilities. If you don't know the geological formation then just the direction from a town or landmark will tell us the age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might show other views of this piece, but I seriously doubt it is a bone. One of the first lessons about identifying fossils: you cannot identify something by shape alone. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
