Wow fifbrindacier, you have the fossilized upper leg bone from a humanoid living on Planet Y. Note the large ball joint and massive bone that allows the humanoids to walk upright in gravity that is 30 times greater than that on Earth. If we went to Planet Y, the gravity would instantly crush our spindly bones.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

I like this one too... Someone has a good eye. Except I think the penny should have been placed a little higher to match the sun.

There is a mountainside in Tai O that looks like a general lying down. It's called "general rock". Sorry, no photos.

Keep looking! They're everywhere!

The odd shape is a drilling by the curiosity probe on Mars. This is where we officially found water on planet Mars.

...how awesome is that!

Pretty sure that's part of a 'cryptodont'.  They were a 'psychospecies' that were believed to have a rectangular carapace.   :P

I thought it was a Stuccosaurus, wallcoverius.

Which, by the way, is also known for a rectangular carapace.;)

Uhh...please don't tell me we are going to get into that 'debate' again....  'Nanocryptodonts' are a 'valiant genius.'

This is one I call my snapping turtle.

After scrubbing a muddy ball of shale in the bucket, I pulled this out, oriented just right to startle me somewhat.

A small black bead placed in the eye socket would almost look scary.

By the look of his mouth-full, he has been eating well.

 

Just thought I'd share, enjoy.

I've merged your post into this thread - very fitting, I think. :D

Hey folks,

I need to see some more posts on this thread please. (really need a pick Me up here).

 

OK. Here you go. A few things I discovered in some barite concretions from the Provence a few years ago. Fossilized ibex, archer, native dancer and fish in that order.

Of course, this is not a fossil, but coming right out of Roswell and all them alien experiments. But I hear Agents Mulder and Scully are on the case :D

Not at all! Incidentally, this "skull" is an ammonite (not terribly visible) in a hiatus concretion, I'm thinking.

Hi,

What it is really? Some time ago, I saw many photos of that...

Hey Coco,

I noticed that noone has replied to this question.

Chrysanthemum stones are a metamorphic rock with a radiating cluster of celestine crystals.
