It's a bone, I don't know what, it must be from a seal, dolphin or a big fish, or I don't know. This is a bone that was found in a formation from the early or middle Miocene. In that formation I have found dolphin bones, dolphin teeth, penguins, various shark, stingray, and fish teeth. I upload some photos, it is a little wet because I was cleaning it.

Hello, I thought this was just a crinoid plate when I found it in a creek in Southern Ontario, Canada. Georgian Bay formation. But when I cleaned it up, I noticed these bits radiating out from the central column of these examples. I thought maybe Dickinsonia but I read they were not in Canada. Does anyone recognize these? The big ones shown are about 3cm each. Feels like sandstone. These are the best images I could get with the phone, apologies. thanks in advance!

Scientists Claim to Have Found The First Known Extraterrestrial Protein in a Meteorite
Spoons posted a topic in Fossil News
While not directly about fossils, I think this news might have some relevance to the field of paleontology as a whole. A big question I think we ask ourselves in our field is how life on earth began, and if it originated here, or elsewhere. This new paper could shed some light on the possibility that life could have originated elsewhere in our universe. Here’s a link to the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11688 Heres a link to a news article explaining the paper for all the laymen out there(myself included):https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-claim-to-have-found-the-first-known-extraterrestrial-protein-in-a-meteorite/amp -

From the album: Permian era fossils
Yet unidentified Edaphosaurus pogonias bone from the Permian era Red Beds site in North Texas, with large unhealed tooth hole from what appears to be a large Dimetrodon's bite, from either the fatal attack, or post-death predation mark. -

Black Cat Mountain Quarry field trip with Dallas Paleo Society, 3-18-17
DinoMike posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On 3-18-17, Dallas Paleo Society had a field trip to the Black Cat Mountain quarry in Coal County, Oklahoma. Here are a few of my finds from the trip. The details on the site are as follows: Harangan and Bois D'arc formations. Age: Lower Devonian, approximately 419.2 to 393.3 million years ago. Brachiopods, and what I think may be some form of coral. Other side of the brachiopods, same side of the coral piece. Other side is just bare rock. Crinoid columnal section Brachiopod bits & crinoid columnal section Random broken bits on a hash slab, brachiopod shells at top. Brachiopod, Leptaena sp. Thanks for the ID help, @Kane!
