Attached are microscopic images of plants and plant material from Australian boulder opal. This is an Australian boulder opal. It's either forest floor, or detritus from an ancient creek bed or swampy area. The tiny plant stems with hooked leaves might be 'pine' twigs, or perhaps fragments of sphagnum moss, and there may be some seeds and other plants. Here is the video of it. I wonder if somebody could help me to ID some plants. I know some are impossible to ID, but other appear to be complete.

Hi, amateur fossil hunter here (haven’t even been doing it for a month now) so i need a little help with trying to figure out what this fossil is. I’m most certain it is a fossil due to the hollow, almost tube/funnel like shape of it. From what i know on human anatomy, it could maybe be a phalanx of something? Maybe i’m just getting my hopes up. these are the photos next to a q-tip, which is 4 inches. (I know that’s a terrible way to measure things but it’s the best thing i’ve got.)

Hey Fossil Gang! I was exploring the forest near my dorm and found a small area where the ground had a sparse layer of tiny, white, spiral shells. I'm no expert but they didn't seem like snail shells, I could be wrong. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips for this situation. What should I do? I thought I could start by collecting some of the surface level shells and maybe even dig around a bit. I imagine just the tiny shells would be pretty common but do y'all think there could be greater treasures laying in wait? What sort of basic equipment/tools should I use? Any help would be appreciated! I'll post if I find something cool.
