Looking for a way to figure out what type of tree this pet wood is
evan83 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, I have this huge piece of pet wood that I am hoping to figure out the age and what type of tree it is. I do not know where it came from it was left in my landscaping rock when I bought the house. If they got it local then it's from northern Colorado. I was able to take a picture of the cell structure so I think that might help? Thank you any help is appreciated.- 7 replies

Found these on different sand banks along the Kansas (Kaw) River east of Lawrence. They are definitely fossils, and I believe they are some sort of tooth or molar, but I am no expert. Any ideas or positive ids appreciated! ps: this is my first post measured in metric in photos

We find lots of tiny fossils in this area and my son's were hoping for help identifying these treasures. Picture 2 & 3 are the same fossil just turned over. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Out on the Peace River, FL Wednesday trying to find a nice meg for a friend. Unfortunately, my usual spot failed to produce a quality tooth. Just lots of bits and pieces. Late in the day I was about to toss a black piece of what looked like stone or rock out of the sifter when the light hit the edge just right and I spotted Schreger lines. This was an unusual looking piece of ivory due to the jet black color. The only thing I could think of that would have produced the black colored ivory is the enamel found on a Gomphothere tusk. So, I am seeking opinions on whether or not this is a piece of a Gomphothere tusk. Hopefully, @Shellseeker , @Meganeura or @Harry Pristis have come across something similar. The piece appears to be solid black throughout which leads me to the belief that this is not just staining from the river. I had to play with the lighting and exposure to get the Schreger lines to show.

Bought this on online auction site recently from a Japanese seller. Its a "viewing stone". Apologies if this is not a fossil. I am a novice. I've done quite a few hours of research, but have decided that I just don't have the experience needed to make an identification. No matter how may pictures I look at and for how long..... I haven't received it yet. It seems to have a hole in the top and one hole on the side. Am not sure if its hollow or if the holes are shallow. The pictures are dark...apologies again. If needed, I will post better pictures when I have it in my hands. Or maybe maybe its obvious what it is, at a glance...to an experienced eye. I've compared it to slag, fossils, even meteorites (extremely unlikely). Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, This was picked up along Lake Michigan in Wisconsin US. was close to developed area so rock may have been brought in from another location for erosion prevention. thanks in advance!

I keep finding samples of this rock - which I believe is quartzite because it's hard and crystaline (always fractures along facets) My guess is that the rock was sedimentary to begin with. Many samples I find have back spherical things in them about 1 cm in size. There is some small indication of radial spikes and some appear to have a halo around the perimeter. If they are fossils and not simply geological they might be Ediacaran. These are being found along the shore of the British Columbia mainland north of Vancouver.IMG_0968.CR2 of British Columbia mainland just north of Vancouver, B.C.

I found this stone in southern New Hampshire on the border of a forest area on a former farm site. It has shiny elements which I think might be Quartz. It’s weight is 7.4 ounces. See photo for size. I know glacial activity in New Hampshire was late. I found my other interesting stones some of which could have been used as tools. Thank you.

Hi Everyone, my 6 year old son found this washed up on Lepe Beach, Hampshire and would love to know if it’s a fossil (and any more details if possible) it’s approx 5cm long, I’ve taken pictures of both sides. Thanks to anyone who is able to offer an opinion!

An acquaintance has offered these 5. Worth the money or are there better for same outlay? His photos of 3 elongated and 2 egg shaped.

Thought I had found some obsidian today until some basic research says it is not found in Spain. Images do not do justice to how smooth and shiny it is, and it is very heavy, almost half a kilo.

Big black megalodon tooth with pyrite in bourlette
Jerrychang posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Recently bought a 14.25 cm tooth from Indonesia and it cost me half a month's salary. It has a strong smell of rust and a little bit of pyrite filling in bourlette, but I’m not sure if it is real because I never heard about it. Besides, the gap between root and bourlette seems to have been slightly polished. Check with UV light Split edge -
I found this rock a few years ago buried in the ground. She looks like a hip. The rock weighs about 2-3 pounds and is the size of an adult hand. You can see scratches on it (as if someone had scratched it with a sharp knife). There are also small holes (see photo) and the rock is red/orange in color inside these cavities. I think it's a fossil, but I don't know much about it. Ideas ?

Are these "black rocks" fossils, pumice, slag? I'm so confused
natwell19 posted a topic in Fossil ID
hello all, I found a lot of this specific type of rock and I thought they could be fossils. Now I'm not so sure. They have what appears to have a spongy inside and flat outside, on the sides that are still there. I tried to take pictures to show them well. A few of the pieces have two "lobes" at one end and the lobes appear to be splitting. They are all the same color, though some are dry and some are damp still. I was trying to figure this out on my own, and I thought it could possibly be coal (if not a fossil), but i really don't know how to test it. My husband did try to light it on fire... it did not catch fire. If you need more pictures, let me know. I got these in a river in Williamson County Tennessee. I believe the only dinosaur we have that's been found is hadrosaur specifically edmontosaurs. There have been multiple types of megafauna mammals like sloths, rhinos, and mammoths. If these are nothing, I will be sad, but at least I'll know not to pick these up anymore! LOL. Thanks! IMG_4308.heic -
Help me ID this Find from a creek bed in texas! Possibly fish scales?
Taterageous posted a topic in Fossil ID
I collected this fossil many years ago as a kid, from a very rocky creek bed in Gorman, Texas. North Central Texas. No idea as to the geological age of the area. The "scales" have a slightly curved face that rises from the center to the sides, but not front and back. They also seem to be leaned on top of another similar to how normal scales are, all pointing the same direction. Almost looks as though the back side of the specimen has bone fragments visible? To my untrained eye, this what I assumed. From my own research, so far I assume it could be from a fish, similar to Lepidote? I'm an amature, so I'm really not sure. Any help identifying would be very appreciated!- 5 replies
