    What fossil is this?

    Hello. I found this rock on the shore of a beach in Narragansett, R.I. It was buried pretty good wedged between other rocks and can tell these are plants of some sort. I broke the rock in half and it’s inside and outside of the rock as well. Was wondering further information. Thank you. 72983672556__F86D833E-8517-47BA-8B91-3D058EEEE308.MOV 72983676876__E73E2472-B58F-4969-A5BE-885B7965DB96.MOV 72983685808__B60707A6-3F94-47ED-81DC-6A4B4DE5347A.MOV

    Ginkgo leaf

    Hi, I bought many years ago a Gingko leaf fossil, but unfortunately I lost the data regarding the name of the species and the location of discovery. Leaf dimensions: 5.5 cm x 4.2 (wxh)- Maybe someone can recognize the species a (and, possibly, site) from the picture I attach here? Thanks in advance, Fabio
  4. Hi all, Came across this along the beach in La Jolla Farms in what appears to be sandstone or siltstone that fell out of the cliffs, initial guess it's Delmar Formation or Torrey Sandstone. Initially thought it's dendrite but getting a gut feeling that it might be a plant fossil. Any opinions? Thanks!

    Plant fossils? ID help

    Found these in Romana, town: Anina. (Eastern Europe). The place is known for plant fossils and other such things. In an article, I saw a journalist say the fossils found there are Jurassic. Are these plant fossils, stems or just markings? I am bad at telling. If it is plant, do you know which one could it be? Bonus one: I am not sure if the order of the pictures will get messed up, but last few pictures I uploaded is a grey "slate" with something in the middle. What is that? If these are just rocks, pretend you've never seen this Thanks!

    Culpeper Basin Plant Fossil?

    Early last month I made a post regarding a specimen that I had recovered from the Newark Supergroup that I had thought could be a possible trace fossil. After discussing the find on the forum and contacting some experts on Newark material, it was determined that the specimen was in fact not a fossil. However, this find greatly increased my interest in the fossil content of the Culpeper Basin. Today I decided to visit one of my favorite streams with the intent of fishing - but I could not help checking out some exposed rocks, knowing well that the stream would cut through Newark strata. As a point of reference, I have included a map of the component formations of the Culpeper Basin that occur in northern Virginia. The red circle is approximately where the specimen in question was found, so it could have come from either the Bull Run Formation or the Manassas Sandstone. Weems, R. E., Culp, M. J., & Wings, O. (2007). Evidence for Prosauropod Dinosaur Gastroliths in the Bull Run Formation (Upper Triassic, Norian) of Virginia. Ichnos, 14(3-4), pp. 271-295. https://doi.org/10.1080/10420940601050030. When checking out the rocks I was simply hoping to learn something about the exposed strata that might indicate the formation present. However, I came across the intriguing specimen pictured below. I have not heard of any fossils coming from this particular area, so I am not sure whether the fossil is what it appears to be or whether it is something entirely different. A view of the entire specimen with the suspected carbonized plant material at the top end. I apologize for the poor picture quality. If better photographs are needed for identification, I would be more than happy to provide some in natural light. A closer image of what may be fossilized plant material. I believe that plant material has been recovered from the Bull Run Formation (where this specimen likely originated) so it could very well be a plant imprint. I know nothing of botanical terminology, but the horizontal lines across the specimen appear to be consistent with what might be expected from carbonized plant remains. It should also be noted that the specimen was found as a loose clast, though it was found among an abundance of very similar material. Hopefully this last photograph provides the necessary detail to properly evaluate the specimen. Again, if more photographs are needed be sure to let me know. Thanks in advance to everyone who comments on this post . @cck @EMP @Fossildude19

    Identification of fossil plant

    Found in Pulaski Co. KY along Cumberland Escarpment. Discovered in shale, cleaned and brushed for display. Assistance in ID of fossil would be appreciated.
  10. Had a quick trip to Terrigal looking for plant fossils. Nothing spectacular but am trying to identify and learn more about the species I am seeing. Saw several of these and cant manage to work out what they are. My best guess is Schizoneura. Any suggestions?

    Help with plant fossil ID

    This was found in Eastern Kentucky in the creek behind my house. Carboniferous. I think it might be astertophyllites. Is this correct?

    Plant or Animal?

    I found another one of these rocks thats comprised completely of dead plant & animal remains. When you look at it under microscope you realize that every piece is fossilized remains of one kind or another. Unlike the other one i found this one has a big (in comparison) fossil sticking out the very end of it. That's the one i was curious about as to whether or not its was from a shell dwelling creature or some kind of plant. It has a 1" diameter & the rock as a whole is 6"x5"x3". Also found in SE Missouri, Iron County to be exact. I think im on the Doe Run Formation, not certain as i think there's another one close by that might be called Elsinore? I found it on Big Creek right outside of Annapolis

    ID Required

    Could someone identify this fossil please, it was found on the west coast of Ireland.
  17. Hello TFF, I purchased this relatively inexpensive specimen at Mineralfest this past fall, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about it. The seller informed me it could possibly be from Madagascar, but was transparent in admitting that she couldn't confirm for sure. It was with other pieces of petrified wood that were brown, but I was drawn to this one due to the red hues. I think it's agatized, and it looks "glassy," although there are too many impurities to shine a cell phone light through it. One side is polished, and I put water on the rougher backside to show more of the details in the coloration. When I went to research the process of identifying tree species from petrified wood, I came across high powered microscopes that could identify structures on a cellular level. I don't have access to that sort of technology, but I was wondering if anyone has any guesses as to what the species could be, how old it might be, what it might be made of, or any other information that could be gathered from looking at the specimen. I'm always curious about what the prehistoric "story" could be behind a fossil, or anything related to the unique biology of ancient life. Thank you for your time, and your knowledge is greatly appreciated!

    possibly stromatolite ?

    Hi from Greece found this few years ago. I was looking for plant fossils following some reports mentioning theese trees Pinus nigra, Buxus sempervirens, Fraxinus, Corylus,Pinus marritima, Quercus suber in petrified forms. Among findings was this is there any possibility to be some form of stromatolite ?
  22. I've always been interested in fossils but I've never even thought of prepping some till I joined the forums. I have some plant dense rocks from washington that I think would be good practice, but I don't know the first step to this process. I have a dremel tool and hopefully I'm going out to get some new tips soon. It's shale as far as I can tell. Thanks for any and all advice, tips, steps, etc you guys are willing to give!

    Mid-winter plants

    Last week I went to Silesia region, which is famous for coal mines - and of course heaps of coal to go through. First I went to Knurów, which has an active mine - but they let hunters browse the fresh output Here are some of the finds:
