Request for identification of Oligocene fruit or seed from Aude (France)
aldo66 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I am counting on your knowledge because I cannot identify this fruit or seed found in the oligocene (site quite close to Armissan - Aude) in the company of many plants. Size 33mm Thanks in advance

Hello all, Curious to see if you folks could assist me in the identification of this item. I came across this at an auction. Initially I thought it was a cast metal - non-ferrous (perhaps bronze) - depiction of a Peach, Lemon, etc., and was perhaps used as an altar fruit. But the material just does not quite fit the bill - unless the piece is made of quite ancient metal. Upon diving into research, I came across a "fossilized flint coconut" which had strong similarities, (however this piece has only one pore or 'eye') which then led me to learning about flint sponges, which also had strong similarities. Any thoughts or further resources would be greatly appreciated, Kindly, J

I found a 5 centimeter (2 inch) diameter rock in Oregon. When I hit it with a hammer (several times) it split perfectly in half. In the middle there was what appeared to be a seed - about the size, shape, and color of an apple seed. The rock had all these "carpels" or "rays", "flakes" coming out from the center. I sanded one half of the inside of the rock. I did not sand the outside. The outside is very hard. The inside is sort of flaky. The outside could not be scratched with a fingernail or coin. Acid did not make the rock fizz or do anything. Someone thought it might be a concretion but I doubt that because of the pattern and "flakes". What do you think it is?

Hello Everyone, I went to Bracklesham Bay for the first time yesterday and despite the sand found several ray plates, shark teeth and gastropods but this find stood out. I'm not sure what it is but I'm hoping it might be a seed or fruit. I know that Nipa fruit are occasionally found there. Each box is 5mm. Hopefully someone can let me know what it is. Thank you, Benton

hello, this object has passed through three generations in my family, and now it was passed on to me. They told me it's a petrified pear, but I have my doubts, what do you think? I took the photos next to a pear to comparision. in the last photo I joined several photos at different angles.

Hi all, any ideas whether there is any chance this can be a fossilized fruit? Found in south america, thanks a lot for your kind help! Best,

I need some help identifying this plant fossil. It appears to be a fruit of some sort, as it has a prominent reddish stain that surrounds the entire fossil. This specimen was found in the upper strata of the Raging River Formation in King County, Washington state. While the Raging River Formation is primarily noted as a marine fossil facies, the report by J.D. Vine, (1969), lists "woody fragments of trees and leaves were found associated with the marine fossils, but specific species could not be identified." This specimen was found at site #648 as listed in the above report.

Hi. Controversial or me being fooled again? Last year I was fooled by a rose thorn, so I have form lol Anyway, I was going to leave this on the beach this morning as it’s clearly something like a peach pit / stone so *must* be modern and *cant* be a fossil. I read the post from 2018 on a similar find in Yorkshire so I did some tests: It sinks in water It “tings” when you hit it with a spoon It does not burn when placed in the flame of a cooker burner I cannot make a mark with a needle However it does not seem as heavy as a natural stone of a similar size despite it sinking “like a stone”. This site is known for fossil sharks teeth as well as wood, fruits and seeds from the London clay beds together with later ice age finds as well as human activity up to the Roman period. Should I throw this in the bin as modern or is this something more interesting. My money is on the former…… ;) Thanks in advance!

In a collection I recently acquired, some of the fossils in the collection had no ID with them. This fossil looks real familiar to me but I cant remember where or when I saw it. 27mm or a little over an inch long. Any help is appreciated.

I found this petrified persimmon looking thing with arrow heads and other things at an auction. It is very hard like stone. Any ideas?

Ya know, I'm great at plant identification if it's currently growing in my region. Dive back to the Paleozoic and I can tell Calamites from Cordaites, but that's about my limit without a book in hand. So far, I've had 8 and I still don't know what this is! I'm pondering the frond-like object running diagonally across the center of the picture. It looks like a fruiting body from Cordaites, but it lacks the sporophyll. It also resembles Corynepteris angustissima, but the only illustration I can find lacks sufficient detail. This came from a mid-late Pennsylvanian Lewellyn Formation exposure in Columbia County, PA. It's about 4 inches (10cm) long.

Once a week two simi trucks come to Helena and give away free boxes of food. By the time my wife and I heard about it the lines had already started to drop and they tried to get everyone to take more boxes. I just wonder how much food has to be thrown away! Anyways, we've gotten free milk, butter, ham, cheese, lettuce, corn, potatos, onions, more stuff and somtimes fruit. Even some of the stuff we've gotten, we have givin much of it away. The other day I made my first pot of potato and onion soup. I addes some ham and corn into it too. Came out freakin delicious!!! Yesterday the misses and I made some homemade jelly. Not jam, but jelly. I havent tried it yet but one of the good things was that it set. Gunna be a very interesting morning later today. Ive also been eating lots of pairs. Those were free too. I only wished that Prime Rib Steaks were free too. OH, and we got lots of apples too so the misses made a bunch of apple butter. RB

I just received confirmation from Professor Steven R. Manchester, Curator of Paleobotany Florida Museum of Natural History, that I do in fact have Bonanzacarpum sprungerorum! Special thanks to doushantuo's post (additions to paleocarpological knowledge:The Eocene) that restarted my identification quest and Paleoflor for encouraging me to pursue it. And TTF for giving me the venue to request identification assistance.

From the album: 1925 Body & Trace Fossil Collection - Vegitation
The majority of these berries are ground cherries from about 52 Ma years ago with the fruit fossilized. This is very rare to have so many specimens with the soft fruit still attached to the host. -
