Nice Manganese oxide dendrites!
-
I have to say, those are some fine looking trilobites!

Hahahaha, they are definitely not chocolate. They are trilobites.

very nice, I can understand that you might think it could be a millipede or something like this But what you found is a special type of mineralisation. It is called "dentrites", minerals grow between two layers, more 2-dimensional and not like normal 3-dimensional might be this helps a little bit to understand Dendrite (crystal) - Wikipedia

I don't necessarily think printing a picture of a badge that says MOTM would carry the same kind of weight, personally, as something more tangible such as an e-award. People are motivated differently. What works for one might not work for 99 out of 100 other people.- 106 replies

Found this in a Pennsylvanian-era formation. This is my first fossil hunt ever, so I don't even know if a lot of what I found are fossils or not. But this one was the most interesting. Found in some shale in a road cut near Jellico, TN. To me it looks like some type of millipede, or maybe some type of root system. Not too sure!

The brown ones seriously look like chocolates.

Thank you ... I was super stoked to get it!

I mean, when you become an MOTM, you carry that proudly within you. You don't need to show it. I'm proud of my badge, it's an honor to have received it for my humble contributions But nevertheless it is possible to copy the badge and print it- 106 replies

Fossildude19 replied to Fossildude19's topic in Member of the Month
We've been trying to do this, but it is a struggle to do on a monthly basis. The other problem with this, is that there are many who are no longer active on the forum at this point. Hard to award someone who is no longer active to appreciate it. Still, thank you for the input. We may be able to do this on a less frequent schedule. -
the spiny one is fantastic!!!

Possible fish scale fragments from Big Brook, NJ
Fossildude19 replied to TRexEliot's topic in Fossil ID
@frankh8147 @Carl I agree with fish scale of some sort for the first. Not sure about gar, but some sort of scale. No clue on the second one. Wild guess - Has the same sort of squamation that you can see on some fish skulls. So maybe a skull bit??? -

These types of fossils, when found in SE Texas are generally Cretaceous in age (time of the dinosaurs) and have been brought by rivers that go through central texas- where the rocks are mostly marine and Cretaceous. He may want to visit Glen Rose and see the dinosaur foot prints where the dinos walked through shallow seas. - Today

Will do. Not home now but I will

Fossil clam found at Big Brook - first of these I've ever seen, is it anything interesting?
TRexEliot replied to TRexEliot's topic in Fossil ID
@frankh8147 forgot to update this, but I gave the specimen to Ralph Johnson and, after quite a bit of research and going through the collection to compare, he emailed me to say "the small clam is very similar to Vetericardia crenalirata (Conrad)." -

I think a more holistic look at what "member of the Month" means . It should be looked at as an award for service to TFF but not short term service as such. Look at quality of posts long term and this needs to take in to consideration that some may be able to assist a lot of posters due to local knowledge and others may have limited requirement for there local knowledge due to few other members collecting in there area , donations to science for research or for museum displays, service to TFF in general. Keep it a monthly award but look at the long term holistic input by the member to TFF and service to fossil collecting in the greater community that promotes our passion be it be hobby or profession.- 106 replies

I also took my Dremel to it to clean some of the stuff off of it, not knowing anything about meteorites or moon rocks, or none of that stuff!
