Guy Macdonald Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi guys, second post about fossils found in the same woodlands near my house as the last, will post the geology of the area and some more photos and views, first looks like some sort of clam/scallop and the second a mixture of bones? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolleamm Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 To me that looks like a mineral concentration not a fossil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because I had the flash on, the little hairs standing up aren't shiny or glittery, they are stuck in place, any info appreciated though.

Miocene_Mason Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'm sorry to say I don't see any fossils either, the first one looks like a sandstone or quartzite that's worn so that you can see the grains. I'd look for a place with bedrock, might be better then the glacial till. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I see a layer of calcite (?) crystals that looks like it is on some "flowstone". In the second picture it looks like some cross sections of shells (clam?). Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

fossilized6s Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I agree with ynot. ~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...

abyssunder Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Is the second specimen coated with a transparent protective material, because that could explain why the hair is accidentally there? The first picture reminds me of an echinoid interambulacral plate imprint ( mamelon/areole region) in a metamorphosed matrix. link " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

andreas Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 My two cents. The item with the calcit crystalls might be a worn part of a nautilus(a few chambers) showing the sipho(roundish thing in the middle). The roundish mold on the top might be the impreeion of the inner winding. Cenoceras sp. is common for Jurassic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
