Found this a couple years ago, never knew what it was. Is it perhaps a fossil? Is it just a mineral stain? No idea. It’s about 3 and a half cm long, almost 2 cm at its widest.

Hi guys, I came across some rocks with plant fossils in Toronto that originated from Joggins Cliffs in Nova Scotia, Canada. From the state of the labels on them these were collected decades ago and were part of an old collection. What are the chances, if I were to buy them, that I can actually and legally own them as my own and not the province's?

457mm long 127mm wide Probably 50% pyrite based on the weight. Found In a different sediment bed to most of my other pieces (which are mostly in sandstone).

Found a weird piece on my first trip, found the main body yesterday
Thurgo posted a topic in Fossil ID
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Near Sydney Wondering what this could be, and if I should contact someone? I have a ton of this stuff in varying condition along a stretch of beach I started going to a bit ago. Found the source. Have found a ton of pretty interesting stuff that I'll post some other time. I'll contact someone local if I need to.

I found this rock in my garden in Nova Scotia and want to know what it is and if I can keep it/sell it?
-
I am not sure if this forum is still active, but will give it a try. I found this fossil on the north shore of Nova Scotia. I have come across many tree fossils in the past, but I am not sure about this one. At first glance I thought fossilized corn? My next guess was possible seed cone from conifer tree? I have never seen any fossils like this before and was hoping someone could help solve this mystery. Note, on many of the lumps there is a tiny dark ring. I tried to get the best pictures I could on my old camera. I also added a picture of the reverse side, which also has some odd shapes in this very fine sediment rock.

Hi everyone, first time poster. I found this rock at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia near the water line. At first I thought it was an organic specimen, like perhaps seaweed or roots growing on a rock, but on closer inspection it appears to be mineral. Ive never seen anything like this before. It looks a lot like petrified roots, but I figure thats unlikely. Does anyone know what this is? The last picture is from a magnifying app.

Hi all! i hope this is the right spot to post this. I am heading to Nova scotia soon and will be in the New glasgow/antigonish area. What sort of fossils are found there (if any) and are there any good spots around there i should know about? thank you in advance

I’ve had this fossil in the back of my case for a while, and only remembered it recently. It appears to be some sort of bark, but I am unsure if it is so. I found it in Nova Scotia a long time ago, and unfortunately didn’t think to write down location. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m on a spree of getting old things identified today I remember finding this piece as a kid while on vacation in Nova Scotia, on the shore of a cove. Is this an imprint of bark, or just some interesting rock pattern? Thanks.

Loose on the cobble near the mudflats/water at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia. Just wondering if this is textured rock or any kind of fossil. Thanks for your help with this. Cheers

Loose on the cobble at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia. I believe this is a trace fossil. Just wondering if anyone can recommend some resources on how to interpret trace fossils? Thanks for your help with this.

Blue Beach, Nova Scotia -- Porous (Probs Rock, but Maybe Fossil?)
wyldewastelander posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi there. I found this at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia. It was in the mud closer to the water (underwater when the tide comes in). Thanks for your help with this.

Hi there. I saw this I saw this at Blue Beach in Nova Scotia, Canada. It was loose on the beach, closer to the edge of the cobble towards the water. Also, I'm new to fossils, and only took this 1 pic (I left this fossil on the beach). The plant matter imprint along the bottom is approx 5.5 cm long. Thanks for your help with this.

Hi there. I'm new to fossils, and just went fossil hunting for the first time the other day. I saw this at Blue Beach in Nova Scotia, Canada. It was loose on the beach, closer to the edge of the cobble towards the water. Also, I just took a few pictures and left this at the beach. Unfortunately, I didn't take many angles on this or most of what I saw - but I know for next time. I am including my hand in a pic for some sense of scale - index fingernail is about 1 cm. Thanks for your help with this.

Hello all, Here are a few Diplichnites incertipies specimens that I found on a 2019 expedition in Nova Scotia. It is illegal to collect fossils in NS without a permit, however all the fossils found at this site (see large arthropluera tracks and tetrapod footprints in prior posts) have been brought to the local museums attention. Stay tuned for more! I hope you enjoy, FossilsNS

Hey everybody, here are some photos of large Diplichnites trails I found in Nova Scotia. These would have been made my a giant millipede like creature known as Arthropluera. The Nova Scotia Museum has been notified of this discovery, as with all the other fossils found at this site (see my previous post of the tetrapod tracks) as the collection of fossils is illegal in the province. These are absolutely outstanding to view in person and to actually walk next to the tracks on the surface they were once imprinted on is outstanding. Expect to see more from this site in upcoming posts, and I hope you find these fossils as fascinating as I do! ps. There are approximately 27 trails on this surface (many are quite faded by the tidal action) - FossilsNS

Hello everyone, I have been spending a lot of time searching for Carboniferous fossils near my cottage in Nova Scotia. Here are a few photos from my summer "expeditions" in which I found many ichnofossils. However, this post will just be focusing on the tetrapod trackways . I would like to state that the collection of fossils in Nova Scotia is illegal, and all the fossils I found were brought to the attention of the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more! Note: All of these footprints have been preliminary identified as Limnopus, but I would still like to hear your opinions.
