A short post today, just wanted to upload this interesting Rhizocorallium (?) I found on my most recent fossil hunting trip! It’s still the dead of winter here in Saskatoon, but we had a warm snap recently and I was able to hike out to a local glacial silt exposure and found it. Hoping to return to this site soon and hopefully find more!

Connecticut Dinosaur Print Specimen?
Maniraptora posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all! I’m considering buying this specimen which is identified by the seller as dinosaur prints from Connecticut, but first I wanted to make sure it’s what it claims to be, and not an instance of pareidolia or similar. I also was curious whether anyone here could offer some additional info on the prints—any guesses on age, formation, more specific locality, ichnogenus, etc.? Thanks in advance. I’m very excited to buy this if none of you have any bad news to offer!- 19 replies

Hello everyone! ive got three slabs of prints created by an unknown prehistoric animal (if it’s even created by an animal) that had been in my collection for quite some time now. Since I’m on the forum and still requires a proper identification for it any identification help from ichnofossil experts are much appreciated! Here are some pictures of the fossils but since the prints might not be that clearly seen I uploaded some other pictures highlighting the “lumps” or the pattern made by the print. Hope that helps.

Last one and I swear I’ll stop asking questions. This is the track in question about it being lightly stained and what you thought about staining. Is this a real trace fossil that you can tell of? If so is this light staining acceptable?

Ichnogenus-Mississippian-Period-Starfish-Cast-SF66.jpg

Ichnogenus - Starfish Cast Chesterian Zone of the Bangor Limestone Formation in northern Alabama Mississippian Period This is a matrix with a Starfish Cast, a trace fossil of the Mississippian Period found in the Chester Zone of the Bangor Limestone Formation (ca 325,000,000 yrs old) in northern Alabama. The cast was formed when the Starfish borrowed into the sandy seafloor, then exited leaving a mold which was filled with materials forming the cast. Over eons of time as the land mass of the Mississippian Period rose and the seas retreated leaving the floor exposed to erosion, the castings were gradually eroded out of the bedrock leaving the castings. An ichnogenus is a trace fossil. The names are a category of taxonomy for fossil traces whose origin is not exactly known. They are a part of taxonomy called ichnology.-
