    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.

    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!

    I believe this one came from Northern Arizona possibly by the Verde River, so let me explain why I can’t be certain for sure, I got into this to do something with the grandkids so I take them with me and we just go picking up rocks that look different and this ended up in the bucket I can only guess. Then we bring it home and when we get time we put them in the Tumblr and they love seeing what comes out, so I just happen to find this in there can only assume that probably came from that area. So there would be no sign of fusion crust left on this thing from being in the Tumblr so looking for that isn’t gonna help us any. As I said ^ I Remember an almost black rock going in there and it didn’t come out so I’m assuming this was it. I only remember this because it was probably the biggest rock that went in there. Looking at the exterior one would say it was formed in an oxygen rich environment, but I believe that’s just from whatever was on the outside being knocked away in the Tumblr because the center of the rock looks like it was formed and zero oxygen environment.

    My son brought this home from the playground at school today we are in Spring Texas. About 2 hours from the gulf shore. He is very decided on being a scientist when he grows up with alot of focus on Dinosaurs. Did not want to disappoint him by not having an answer for his find. I appreciate yall looking at it for us! It is a very interesting shape.

    Fossilized worm?

    Fossildude19 replied to JD1969's topic in Fossil ID

    Looks like a mineral inclusion. Not seeing any kind of fossil here.

    Dinosaur vertebra?

    Fossildude19 replied to JD1969's topic in Fossil ID

    Not fossils or bones. Interestingly shaped rocks.

    Snail??

    Ludwigia replied to Ewalt330's topic in Fossil ID

    If you're a beginner I'd leave it as is except for giving it a good scrub with soap and water. Someone who knows what he's doing could try to carefully remove the matrix in the center. What does the reverse side look like?

    Also, don't forget to take pictures with a ruler or tape measure for scale.

    Hello, You will need better pics than you provided. Preferably with the item not in you hand and on a surface with a solid background with close-ups at different angles. Dave

    No bone texture. No skull morphology. No bilateral symmetry. This is a rock, not a dinosaur skull.

    One more question if you guys don't mind.... should I try to clean it or leave as is? Thank you for any help. Obviously this is my first fossil lol.

    The only gold found in the northeast is placer gold from glacial deposits. Too much effort for little reward.

    Agreed that it doesn't show any of the hallmarks of a meteorite but it does kinda look like basaltic lava with lots of tiny gas bubbles. Could be useful to consult a geologic map to see what formations occur near the surface where this was found. If there is a lot of igneous rock in the area that could support the idea of basalt.

    Exactly where did you find it? Doesn't look like a meteorite to me at any rate.

    Kane, Alas I fear you are right. I examined the rear of the Acanthopyge and discovered that it scratches quite easily in a manner similar to a resin. I harken back to my belated Father's advice: "Everyone gets flensed once in a while, just try to keep it to a minimum". I wish to thank Darktooth, Kane and Piranha for their comments. Nick

    Formations at Holden Beach

    Fin Lover replied to bockryan's topic in Questions & Answers

    In SC, great whites are Miocene and younger...I assume it's the same in NC. This site mentions a few formations: https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Geolex/UnitRefs/CastleHayneRefs_915.html Edit: they may not all be exposed there, but it at least gives you some names to research.
