Rlranta Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 These are some of the things I've collected over the years. I know one is coral, one is petrified wood, one is a jawbone with teeth. I have some volcanic glass with a round imprint (?) the big one has coprolite in the center. There is a Petosky stone, Michigan's state stone, and another bone piece I haven't identified. I'd love any help or information, and discussion on these fossils would be great. I'd also love to see pictures of your collections! I showed you mine . . .

Fossildude19 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Hello, and welcome to the Forum. Nice little collection. Thanks for posting it. Mine is located HERE. I am no help with the minerals, or jawbone, ... but your coral and petosky stone are possibly Hexagonaria, or Lithostrotionella. The round "imprint" in the volcanic glass is likely a vug or vessicle. Your "coprolite" looks to me like a mineral stain on sandstone. I don't think it is a coprolite. Coprolites usually vary in texture from the surrounding matrix. Welcome again.

Auspex Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Welcome aboard! I'm curious about this one: Is this what you referred to a a jawbone with teeth?

Fossildude19 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I took the liberty of enhancing and cropping the images of the jaw. Maybe someone will recognize it.
