Monchi3000 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) My main collections hobby is coins and banknotes, fossils and stamps just are my minor collections. And I still got some questions about my fossils collections. Well, here are my photos. Edited July 19, 2014 by Monchi3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monchi3000 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 1st question I posted in another zone, and 2nd question: what kind of plants on this coal~? 3rd question, what kind of creatures on this big fossil piece? And how old are they? 5 billions ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Nice collection so far. To answer your third question, those look like Crinoid stem fragments. They range from 485 mya-present day. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediospirifer Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Nice pieces! I agree that the fossils on that piece are crinoid stem fragments. I would be very surprised (and extremely interested!) by a fossil 5 billion years old. That's half a billion years older than Earth! In general, any fossil you can see with the naked eye that isn't a stromatolite (or certain trace fossils) won't be much more than 500 million years old. That seems to be when multicellular life appeared, again except for stromatolites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
