Hello fellow fossil people! I have this plant that is very unique compared to any others I have found at this site. It is from the Rhode Island formation in North Attleboro. It is about a centimeter long. Some of the pictures are taken at 20x magnification. Any ideas?

Hello all! I was scrolling through my home state’s fossil page when I came across this post from someone claiming they had a “special spot“ in western Kentucky where they found all of these fossils. Someone in the comments inquired about the ID, and he told them they are fossilized jellyfish. Obviously, these are not fossilized jellyfish. My first thought was geodized crinoid calyces, but then I looked closer and counted the plates- six rather than five, which is not what I’m used to for a typical calyx. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, I'd like to know your opinion on an item I found during a trip to a former (since turned into a museum) coal mine in Belgium, near the Liège (Luik) area. The coal that was mined there was created during the Westphalian. Massive amounts of waste from the mine were dumped out near it and fossils can be found there. Among this rubble I found an item that I suspect to be an imprint from a plant or tree but it could also be a pseudofossil as I have no idea how to properly id it. Any help on getting an id would be greatly appreciated! To be clear: the units on the ruler are millimeters and not centimeters. For this next image I held the item at an angle to get better lightning so the grooves are more clearly visible: Finally, the last image is the underside of the item, which is how must of the usual rubble at the mine looks: Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! A couple of weeks ago, I traveled to Turimetta Beach, a Triassic fossil locality in the Sydney Basin. I found several plant fossils. Some were too fragmentary for ID, but if possible I would like to know people's opinions on the ID of these three. I've read through previous forum posts and am aware these might not be able to be ID'ed. Fossil plate which I found as a rockfall near Turimetta Headland. A relatively large stem which was found in the same rockfall. A small leaf I found at an outcrop on the beach itself. Thanks for any possible help!

My husband found this nearly perfect spherical fossil on a beach in South Carolina. We think it looks like an acorn, but perhaps it is some sea creature. Any ideas? Thanks for your help
