Hi all - anyone have a strong opinion on what this should be labeled as? Is it just clearly Macroneuropteris? It seems longer and doesn't taper in the way I would expect. From the Carb-Permian boundary, Cassville Shale, exposed in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania.

Inspired to act by Jamie‘s @JamieLynn and their “fossil a day” thread. I been thinking about creating a digital visual catalogue of my collection for a long time now . Been very dyslexic this is a difficult task to undertake. After seeing Jamie’s thread I thought one fossil a day will just take a sort time to photograph, collate and post, making this more achievable task . I will also keep a digital copies for my records. Posting on the forum means that other members can see my small collection and help me if needed with incorrect IDs or names that have changed . The forum has been really helpful in organising my collection . I really can’t gain information from books or scientific papers, the level of concentration I need to comprehend large passages of text is beyond me. This meanings that most of my information is from TFF. For that I thank you all greatly.

First trip report! I had a free Sunday so I went to two sites I've been to before. I'm currently not able to really collect much due to space/life/organize what I have already constraints but I figured it'd be interesting to see got washed down by the rain a few weeks ago. This is just going to be for a Patapsco Formation (?) site in PGC. I'm not 100% about all of these but there seem to be some distinct oddities here.

Howdy all, I was in my geo class today and my group and I identified this as a piece of shale. I saw what looks like plant fossils in it, and was wondering if that is correct.

Need help identifying this fossil found in Irvine, KY creek bed - Tree / Plant Fossil? Petrified? Measures 5" x 5" x 2". Doesn't quite have the weight of a heavily petrified piece of wood but it is "rock like" but not real heavy. Weighs 1 pound, 12 ounces.

Need help identifying these two fossils found in Irvine, KY creek bed
Tom Carmichael posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello - Need help identifying these two fossils found in an Irvine, Kentucky creek bed. I'm guessing they are some kind of plant fossil but not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Tom

The fossils of these two ginkgophyte species come from the Koshelyovskaya Formation, located near Mazuyevka, Perm Krai. The sediments in the area are 276 million years old, which corresponds to the middle part of the Kungurian age of the Permian period. Psygmophyllum expansum Psygmophyllum intermedium

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.

Hello All, Super excited to share my fossil. This forum seems like a wonderful gathering of like minded fossilers. I found this over 40 years ago in the USA. Near water. No idea where but guessing East Coast of the USA. Straight central spine with wispy ribs. Not sure if it’s flora or fauna. Tried to take some good photos following the advice of the forum message for newbies. Had to hold it in a few photos because it is a rounded object. My apologies. From the front (or back…LOL)…it almost looks like it has two eyes! thanks in advance for helping me on my quest.

Hello, Could I get a species ID on these Annularia leaves from South Korea? I am pretty clueless when it comes to plant material. It is a split pair, and the three whorls together measure about 5 cm across. Provenance: Hambaeksan, Taebaek, Gangwon province, South Korea Thanks!

We visited Cory's Lane, RI for a bit over an hour. Following guidance in a TFF thread, we turned right at the beach and struggled to convince ourselves we were even in the right place. There was barely an outcrop. The cliff consisted of a largely dirt slope with sporadic rock pieces weathering out. Still we found the most promising of them and split them down and found these three items which might be plant material? I am not sure. As we were walking back to the car we noticed that the other side of the entrance of the beach, i.e., if we had gone left instead of right, was a proper cliffy exposure with many layers and a lot more promising rock in the foreshore. We spent about 20 minutes looking it over but didn't find anything in that time. Did we go to the wrong part of the locality altogether and still manage to find some things? [edit: all the pieces are palm sized, 6-12 cm in length or so] A — suspiciously straight, but doesn't seem to run in the direction of the grain of the rock, so perhaps not just a mineral feature? B — the part that seems like it might be a fossil are the lighter features that radiate from the middle-right edge. They seem like they could be plant matter preserved as a thin film of more reflective mineralization. Best seen when you catch the light just right. C — feature on the left looks like either a wider, fern-like morphology running upward, with pinnules to the left of a rib. Or, alternatively a narrower leaf-shaped form around that rib running downward. I am not 100% sure this isn't a mineral formation. Still, the iridescent quality of the layer is nice. Thanks for your expertise!
