Hello, I’m new here and I hope that I am covering all the bases. First off I’m not really fossil hunter more rock hound, but I have to say after looking at some of the collections on this site I might cross over. Was camping and decided to go for a hike and see what I could find where I started finding the biggest geodes that I’ve ever found and happened upon this piece and the only reason I picked it up is because I thought it looked like a reptiles head. Never thinking that it actually might be but I’ve had numerous people tell me it’s what it is and they are not experts so I’ll leave it up you find folks to decide. Appreciate your time. 74991019822__CA7BF58B-5D1F-4D28-8FC1-045B71A53826.MOV 74991042095__C7FBD566-2D1D-4CED-A24B-CEE528106082.MOV

What is this magnificent thing? Found beneath my own house, in Southern BC
GullyGolly posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone! This was found in British Columbia, Canada, specifically in the South Similkameen region. It was *not* near the well-known sites around Princeton (which is the most famous area in the region for fossils), nor was it in chert or shale (where most fossils in the Princeton area are found). This was found an hour south of there. I don't know much about the geologic or paleontological history of the region, though I believe we're classified as being part of the Quesnelia terrane, and in very ancient times there was a volcano - we still find volcanic rocks very frequently. Anyway, some of my family members have been digging beneath my house, working on expanding the basement. They've been digging out all sorts of rocks and dirt from beneath the house, and dumping the rocks and dirt in a big pile in the yard. I often look through the big pile of rocks and dirt they've removed, looking for neat rocks, and yesterday I found this! It was probably dug out from anywhere between 2-8 feet below the surface of the regular ground (since the floor of the basement is probably 8 feet down). I do know that the area around our house was once a creek/river bed and drainage area, over a century ago. Like, my house is located on what was once the "bank", and farther off in the yard there is a gully that used to be the creek/river bed. There's a local river where we sometimes walk along the riverbank and find impressions of plants on shale, but I've never seen *anything* like this. The fossilised area of the stone is raised up from the surface of the red stone, and when you look at it under a magnifying glass the fossilised area also seems to have some shiny, crystal-like speckles. The fossil seems like it might be a different kind of rock than the main, red stone? Besides the main fossil areas, there are streaks and spots that seem to be made of the same substance as the fossil. The white outline around the fossils is is very noticeable, as well. I can't find anything online of any similar fossils from this area. I'd love to know what you think this might be! I'm elated, as I've never really found a fossil before, and I'm astounded it was in my own yard. My family can no longer tease me for digging through rocks all the time Thank you 😊

Monsters of the Abyss | Vancouver Aquarium
BrennanThePaleoDude posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
When I caught wind of @jnoun11's traveling exhibit coming to Canada, British Columbia of all places, I made sure to book it down to the Vancouver Aquarium immediately! It was the most incredible display of Moroccan fossils I have ever seen and far greater than any permanent museum galleries! Of course I spent most of the time at the mosasaur section, finally getting the chance to see the marine reptiles I work on fully reconstructed in all their glory! The best part was seeing the species of mosasaur @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon @Praefectus and I named on display for the whole world! Such a great feeling! The skull of Hainosaurus boubker stood proud along side Thalassotitan atrox and the skeletons of Mosasaurus beaugei, Halisaurus arambourgi and Zarafasaura oceanis (plus some turtles). The murals in the back illustrated the diverse community of the phosphates in an active, warm sea environment which made you feel like you were right there swimming with them! The info boards were great and very informative with a fun "Monster Level" gimmick to show how fierce these predators where in their environments and times! Unfortunately Hain and Thalass were still under their pre-2022 names of Tylosaurus and Prognathodon anceps (plus using their smaller size estimates) which hopefully one day will be updated. I purchased a seasons pass just to revisit this display several times this summer while it is still around! Here are some photos of the mosasaur section (plus Spinosaurus) I took with my good camera!

Seeking to confirm whether this is a fossil and, if so, what type, please. Found in upper cretaceous period layering of mudstone, slate and shale. Is apparently not the usual forms found in this area, but appears to be vertebrate. Thank you.

Last weekend I headed out to Princeton, BC (Canada) in search of fossils for the very first time. I focused on breaking open shale or similar rocks and was lucky enough to find my very first fossils! I'm trying to learn more about geology, fossils and the likes in my spare time so I would love if someone would be able to help me identify some of my finds. I know that all of the rocks in the Princeton area are Eocene Era, so ~56 to 34 MYA. Here are the fossils, and also a purple rock that I'm stumped on. I suspect the leaves are 'metasequoia' but I'd love more opinions. Thank you and I hope you find these rocks as interesting as I do! Purple rock 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Whiteia sp. Early Carboniferous Wapity Lake British Columbia Canada -
Presumably a slow swimming grazer-detritivore. Alternative combination: Elonichthys cupidineus Lambe, 1916. Taxonomy according to fossilworks.org. Diagnosis for Albertonia according to Schaeffer and Mangus, 1976, pp. 545-548: "A parasemionotid (as defined by Patterson, 1973, pp. 262, 287) specialized in having deeply fusiform body and greatly elongated pectoral fins. Small acuminate marginal teeth present on mobile maxilla and dentary. Suspensorium nearly vertical. Preopercular present; opercular and subopercular subequal. Longest pectoral fm rays about one-half length of body. All fins bordered by fringing fulcra; fin rays distally segmented. Caudal fin hemiheterocercal, weakly cleft, and probably equilobate. Scales rhomboidal, deeper than wide in anterior flank region; posterior border of all scales pectinate.“ Quote from Schaeffer and Mangus, 1976, p. 548: “Albertonia cupidinia . . . is a deeply fusiform fish: the maximum body depth is about one-third of the overall length. The impressively elongated pectoral fins, composed of approximately 21 rays, are equal to about one-half of the total body length. The pelvic fins, which are very much smaller and include nine or 10 rays, are situated at the deepest part of the ventral contour. The dorsal fin, composed of about 17 rays, arises in front of the anal, which has approximately 18 rays. The short-lobed hemiheterocercal caudal fin is composed of about 30 principal rays and is externally homocercal. The scales are rhombic with serrated posterior borders. There are about 40 scale rows between the cleithrum and the origin of the hypochordal lobe of the caudal fin." Identified by Dr. N. Micklich (Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt - HLMD).

BC Paleontology Educational Booth at the Cranbrook Rock & Lapidary Club Mineral, Fossil & Gem Show
BrennanThePaleoDude posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
I was invited to set up an educational booth at the Cranbrook Rock & Lapidary Club's Mineral, Fossil & Gem Show in October. It was a huge hit with the local collectors and members of the public. I was able to chat with a diversity of people ranging from families to fanatics and even some familiar faces from social media swung by to say hi. I am excited for the next event and will definitely be spending more time in Cranbrook. Such a welcoming community of fossil hunters and great number of Cambrian sites. Here are some photos of my table display. I wanted to spice things up and add fossils from around the world for this event as well as feature some of my current work.

Cretaceous Porcelain Crab Petrolisthes landsendi new species Late Cretaceous (Comox/Haslam Formation) Saanich Peninsula, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada Donated to the Royal British Columbia Museum, Victoria, BC https://www.researchgate.net/publication/347129633_A_new_species_of_Petrolisthes_STIMPSON_1858_Anomura_Porcellanidae_from_the_Upper_Cretaceous_upper_Santonian_of_Vancouver_Island_Canada It was determined that this fossil specimen collected by me and formerly residing in my collection was potentially a new species. After sending the specimen to Torrey Nyborg for examination, it was confirmed to be a new species of Porcelain crab from the late Cretaceous of Southern Vancouver Island. This new species was determined to be the "oldest species of Petrolisthes Stimpson, 1858 and is the first species from the northeastern Pacific".

Since the group was so helpful with this post, I thought I would ask again with a couple of rock finds from last week's fishing trip on the Flathead River in south eastern British Columbia. I found several rocks that looked like these two in the next three pics. This rock is about 12" long and the next two pics are the same rock from different angles. The "shards" in the rock caught my attention. Are they fossils? This is a different rock from the previous one, but it had the same type of shards. This next rock contains what appears to contain segmented worms, or cases. The first picture with the ruler is the rock face-on. The following two pics are of the rock from either end. Does this rock contain fossils? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I was hoping that someone is good with odd bivalves here. I was searching around my favourite spot at Northwest Bay in the Nanaimo Group of Vancouver Island Canada. One of the spots is in a layer of very soft shale that erodes out onto the beach. I undercovered this fossil which I initially assumed was a pocket of young Inoceramus vancouverensis. This is very common in the Nanaimo Group, but not at this location. As I looked further I noticed elongated material that had a thin shell coating under the bivalve shells, Then I noticed the layer of coalified material between the shell and thin layer of shelly material. Could this be Martesia, the shipworm? As the fossil material is very flattened it takes a bit of imagination to figure out its shape in 3 D. Any help would be great!

Because it's only a short ferry ride away from the mainland, I often try to make a point to go to Vancouver Island when I have some time free, both to explore its natural beauty and to hunt for fossils in its rich and varied Cretaceous deposits. Much of the eastern coast of the island adjacent to the Strait of Georgia, as well as many of the smaller islands just offshore, are underlain by the Nanaimo Group - an ancient marine basin whose age extends from about 90 to 65 million years. Many of the shorelines, creeks, and quarries of Vancouver Island, where the formation crops out, can be explored for their fossil bounty. I've just come back from a solo camping trip a few weeks ago, where I spent most of my time exploring the abandoned shale pits east of Nanaimo. While this was the main purpose of the excursion, it also gave me a good reason to visit the Courtenay and District Museum to get some paperwork sorted to donate a fossil cycad seed I found on a previous trip (detailed here). That said, I'm going to cheat a little in this post, and also include some photos and finds from two previous trips - one earlier in the spring, and another from late last summer. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! First I'll start with some photos from the field.

Something that has been a long time coming... As I have no air tools for prepping fossils, I got the bee in my bonnet to try using bits of wood and glue to break away bits of matrix partially covering leaves from McAbee specimens that I collected years ago (before the gov't ban on collecting there). It worked pretty well on these few pieces I tried. The only difficulty came when the matrix to be removed was too thick and integrated with the surrounding matrix. Then it would only peel the thinnest layer off the top. Another round or rounds could eventually accomplish the task in this case, as I did in one instance. Glue used was Lepage's gel-type superglue. I let them cure for a half a day to a day before pulling. Soaking the stick in a jar of acetone frees the broken-off piece if wanting to retain it (as I did with the Ginkgo below). This could work on any number of similar fossils from e.g. Green River, etc. but I can't guarantee consistent results!

Blakeburn Amber (Allenby Fm., 52.5-48 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
“Blakeburn Amber” Coalmont, British Columbia Allenby Fm. (Princeton Group) 52.5-48 Ma Weight: 0.8g Dimensions: 16x16x13mm Lighting: Longwave UV The final entry in a series of ten, detailing various rare ambers from European, Asian, and North American localities. This is a fine example of an in-situ piece of amber. The matrix is high-volatile type B bituminous coal, which contains small portions of methane; it has a bright vitreous luster due to it containing over 90% vitrinite (a “maceral”, or component of coal, derived from woody plant tissue). Geology of the Allenby Fm.: Within the Tulameen Basin lies the Tulameen Coalfield, which covers approximately 6.2 square miles (10 sq. km.), and is located about 12.5 miles (20 km.) northwest of Princeton, B.C.; within the Allenby Fm. is three members/layers: an upper member of sandstone and conglomerate 600 m thick, a lower sandstone member 100-150 m thick, and a middle member 130 m thick; the middle member is predominantly mudstone and shale and contains two coal seams, the upper seam containing amber. The main seam lies 25-40 m above the lower seam, is 15-21 m thick, and is of much higher quality than the lower seam: it is from this layer that much of the mining was done. Botanical Source: Nearby, the Allenby Fm. is composed of three Members, the middle being the Vermillion Bluffs Shale: it is known for its rich deposits of plant fossils. Approximately 9.3 miles (15 km.) southeast of the Tulameen Coalfield, is the famous Thomas Ranch locality: here, the majority of the plant fossils consist of cupressaceous remains, “Metasequoia occidentalis” being the most common; at Tiger Mountain (Washington State, USA), Eocene-aged amber occurs alongside Metasequoia and Taxodium leaf imprints, which are plentiful. It is quite possible that Blakeburn and Tiger Mountain ambers were derived from a Cupressaceae source tree. History of Mine: In 1899, analyses on the coal of the Tulameen Basin were submitted to the Geological Survey of Canada, and mining began in 1904 in the Blakeburn Creek area; the owners of the mines, Coalmont Collieries, Ltd., created 5 mines over the next 30 years, with mines No. 1 and No. 2 opening in 1913. No. 3 and No. 4 began production in the 1920s, but were shut down in the 1930s due to fires and flooding. It was in the No. 4 mine that a tragic incident occurred on August 13, 1930: an explosion killed 45 men, and was believed to have been caused by a buildup of methane (released from the high-volatile type B coal, mentioned earlier) from closed-off mining areas. The official explanation by the mining company claimed methane was not a major contributing factor; interesting, considering that the fire bosses of the mine asserted to the workers beforehand that the mines were gas-free. From 1900 to 1940, 2.2 million tons of coal were produced, with the No. 5 Mine closing in 1940. Sporadic exploration has been done in the area since 1960, and in 2002, Compliance Coal Mining was planning to open a mine in the Tulameen Basin.

Hello all, I recently collected this interesting permineralized fruit from the Browns River on Vancouver Island, B.C. This river exposes outcrops of the lower Trent River formation of the Nanaimo Group, which represents a relatively nearshore Campanian marine environment. The fossil itself was found in an outcrop of fairly poorly consolidated sandstone, which also contained large pieces of coalified wood debris and a poorly preserved, crushed ammonite. I'm not particularly optimistic about getting a positive ID on this, but I am interested to see what others think about it, and would definitely appreciate some educated suggestions about a possible affinity. As far as I'm aware, fossil fruits from the Nanaimo Group are quite rare, so I would also be interested to know if anything similar to this has been found before or not. (Fossil is ~1.5cm long, the angle it's photographed at isn't completely flat). Front (note the longitudinal groove): Rear (this end is partially eroded away, presumably because it was the part sticking out of the rock): Top (note the round scar of the hilum): Bottom: Surface texture: Thanks for your attention! @Wrangellian@fossisle

Canadian Amber (Allenby Fm., 52.5-48 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
3.0g of amber, from the same lot in the two associated entries. This mid to late-Ypresian material comes from an old site near the abandoned mining town of Blakeburn, which site and its gangue piles are now technically owned by a coal mining company (although the existing legal claim of the individual who collected this amber is being overruled by the company). The amber is found primarily in association with Metasequoia sp. remains/imprints, however Pinus and Pseudolarix (among others) remains are also found in a lesser quantity at the site.© Kaegen Lau

I have heard all about the form for years and recently even more so, enough to finally make the decision to join! I am so glad to have finally committed! ( thanks to @Praefectus) I grew up fossil hunting in British Columbia, Canada and have been mentored by many amazing people as a part of the Vancouver Paleontological Society. I am now a student at the UofA pursuing my PhD. I have collected hundreds of thousands of fossils from a diverse amount of sites ranging from Cambrian to Eocene in age! I specialize in Burgess Shale material as well as various sites specific to BC. I'm hoping to share all my amazing finds with this wonderful community as well as my expansive knowledge of the region!
