Hi I need help identifying/confirming some fossils found in Greene county Missouri here are a few. A grub in volcanic glass, a walnut, and a seed beginning to sprout. Could anyone tell me anything about them? I also have some others I need identified. Sorry, I do not have an international ruler. Grub is a half inch long

Apologies in advance for the large/unorganized pictures. I think it might be a walnut seed, but I'm not completely sure. I'm no expert on modern plants, let alone ones old enough to fossilize. It was found in the late 1980s/early 1990s. As a kid, I stumbled across it in a riverbed in Needmore, IN (USA). Mainly I wanted to post it as I'm guessing it is unusual to have half a fossilized seed that includes what I think is the nut part of the seed. This fossil was found in this condition (it wasn't cut open as far as I know). I'm guessing the green coloration in the interior is due to some sort of algae from the riverbed - I've never tried to clean it out (and probably never will).

Found this a few weeks ago in the Walnut Formation (Texas Cretaceous) in a spot where I know belemnites have been found. It looked remarkably like the belemnites I found in England (Jurassic) because of the shallow recess and the shape, but this has these weird teardrops. I dismissed it initially , thinking it was too light for a fossil, plus, these teardrops kind of make it look more like just a woody plant something or other. So then I dropped it and it broke. Looked at it under the microscope and it is for sure not a woody plant something! It is crystalized inside so maybe that is why it is lighter than a "regular" fossil. Any help with positively ID'ing this as belemnite or not would be appreciated! @erose @Uncle Siphuncle It is 1 1/2 inches long One of the belemnites from England:

I thought this was just a rock but I saw in a book this could be a walnut. Any ideas?

Hello all! I recently found a new spot that turns out is Walnut Formation. Finding lots of nice stuff there...big Echinoids - Phymosomas, a Tetragrmma and some little Leptosalenia mexicanas. But I've found a few things that I can't ID. @erose - I relooked at the presentation on Albian crabs you did for the PSoA last month and thought this one was in there, but now I don't see it? I thought you had collected one like this.. Thanks for any help, y'all! This little Bivalve looks like a Plicatula but those are not found in the Walnut? (According to the Houston Gem and Mineral Society Bivalve Book) And this other bivalve - closest I can come up with is Lopha, but again, not listed in the Walnut

I found this what I think to be a fossilized hickory nut that was partially eaten by some animal. I found it in northern Kentucky a couple miles from the Ohio river. If someone could help me out that would be great.

Collecting At the Cretaceous Road Cut Near Fluvanna in Scurry County, Texas
gwestbrook posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I made a trip out to the Cretaceous road cut north of Snyder near Fluvanna in Scurry County one 102 degree summer day about 6 years ago. It's labeled on geologic maps as Edwards/Comanche/Walnut unconsolidated. It's fairly well picked over due to it's proximity to Lubbock and Texas Tech, but if you look hard enough between the rocks and in the gravel you can find the more demure fossils such as these Selenia sp echinoids. The one to the upper left is a crab carapace with a partial claw lying next to it.

A couple good friends from Europe were rolling through Texas this weekend with “echinoid aspirations”. On that note, I got up early to make the drive into the Lower Cretaceous hills to indulge them. About 3 years ago I had found a couple undocumented (or at least unpublicized) sites in the Walnut Formation, did well, then let them weather until now. I figured that my patient stewardship would afford us a bumper crop today, and it did.

Not sure what this is. Please help

Hello - I'm new to this forum. I appreciate any information that you ladies and gents could provide! Thank you in advance! I've had this object all my life - I found it in Northern California when I was a child. I always thought it looked like a walnut. Perhaps it is, or perhaps it's just an unusual rock. It is rock-like in terms of its weight & feel. The middle "band" goes all the way around - similar to the band that seperates the two halves of a walnut. Thanks!
