From the album: Mark's Mazon Creek Fossils
BOTH HALVES SIDERITE CONCRETION, SPLIT BY HAMMER BLOW. SPECIMEN 59mm X 22mm (2-5/16" x 7/8"). -
I found this on the bank of a stream near Pittsburgh. It looks to me like bone, but perhaps I'm imagining things. It's rather light and I can tell you the stream is part of the Conemaugh Group, Glenshaw Formation and Pennsylvanian/Carboniferous period. Any help is appreciated. (Last pic has the scale.)

Hi, This is an historic specimen collected in the 1870s or 1880s. Unfortunately, it has no provenance. I suspect it might be from northern Illinois or Southern Indiana. Any help on ID would be much appreciated. I was thinking along the lines of Lobatopteris or Pecopteris strongii?

Poorly Preserved yet almost complete Neuropteris sp. (lindahli?)

From the album: Missouri Plant Fossils
A long time ago I had neglected to turn over a piece of Winterset limestone that contained ferns and to my surprise on the back was this specimen! I was told it could be a Neuropters lindalhi a couple of months ago and never uploaded it onto this site. -

I collected these two very small brachiopods in the LaSalle Limestone (Pennsylvanian) of Illinois. I have collected in this formation dozens of times and have not come across either before, and was hoping for some help with the IDs. @Tidgy's Dad @deutscheben @cngodles Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Over the last several months I have been using a freeze-thaw method to open up some phosphate nodules I collected from a Middle Pennsylvanian site I visited in Northern Oklahoma. Recently one nodule split open to expose something. It is about 2cm in size. My gut tells me disarticulated fish bones but I am not sure. Does anyone happen to know what this could be? It was a little tough to photograph so please bear with me. If any additional photos would help, I can try again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody know what the species is?

Upper Carboniferous (Duckmantian) Fish/shark tooth from coal measures. N. Wales.
Skatetom posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi people! I'm a PhD student studying a Duckmantian fossil forest in North Wales. I have found these phosphatic fish/shark? teeth and scales I need an ID on. I suspect they are Adamantina Foliacea (Cuny and Stemmerik 2018) but that is a marine shark and this sequence is almost certainly completely freshwater and thought to be an upland swamp. I'm currently doing isotope work on the nodules and plant fossils and that appears to be confirming this is a completely freshwater system. Anyone have any ideas? You'll have to click on the images again once you've opened them to zoom in! Sorry for the poor quality! Thanks, Tom

I found several heart shaped objects mixed in with a variety of stems and plant material. Are these possibly seed pods?
