Here is a strange little thing at first I thought it was petrified wood but looking at it on the flat end with magnification not too sure.

Matilija Canyon Plant Fossil - Los Padres Mountains, Southern California
ezeemonee posted a topic in Member Collections
Found a carbonized plant fossil in Sespe formation conglomerate stone in the Matilija Canyon area of the Los Padres Mountains of Southern California. Likely something from the Horsetail family or something in the bamboo family. Based on the below report, these rocks are likely from the Oligocene or Eocene periods. The area has mostly Marine fossils but this was probably a land plant that washed out to sea and was deposited along with other flood debris on the shallow sea floor. Some credit on the geology of the area to: BULLETIN OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA V o l . 39 . pp. 1 0 8 7 - 1 1 0 2 D e c em b e r 30.'1928 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MATILIJA OVERTURN BY PAUL P. KERR AND HUBERT G. SCHENCK (Read before the Society December SO, 1927)

I found several fossil while hunting in Vigo County, Indiana, USA. I've identified many fossils I've found in this creek, but I've never found anything like this one. Any ideas out there as to what this is? It's definitely raised off the yellowish rock underneath. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Could use a little help with these. Thanks!!! Found on the beach in Delaware where we find many shark teeth, shell impressions, fossilized shells, bones etc.

Could anyone help with identifying these fossils found at Turimetta Beach NSW?
ParasauroLoafers posted a topic in Fossil ID
My partner randomly suggested we go fossil hunting at Turimetta. I've never been fossil hunting and I was surprised by how much we actually found. I haven't uploaded pictures of everything we found bc it's mostly just plant matter that I've managed to find similar pictures of in other forums. I'm curious to know if the rusty-orange coloured ones are anything. Was really exciting to find them when carefully splitting rocks in half! There's also a tiny ball shape I found when I split open a rock and it almost looked like a tiny soccer ball or pine cone because of the lines in it. It didn't show up quite as clearly on camera sadly. And there's another rock with a cylindrical shape in the side of it. I thought that was very interesting so I took lots of angles. Thanks in advance for your help!

Howdy all, Found some plant fossils inside some coal plates eroding out if a creek in Edmonson County. This one is pretty clearly a stigmaria and I've labeled it as Lepidodendrales indet. This next one I'm pretty sure is a wood fragment from a cordaites, though, I could be wrong. To my knowledge, cordaites is the only woody plant in the area. I compared the grain to that of some cordaites petrified wood and it looks pretty similar. this next one is on the same plate as the previous one. I'm not entirely sure what it is but it looks similar to the grain of palm or bamboo wood. I want to say this is pith from a Calamites but I'm unsure. . This appears to be a leaf impression, I'm guessing a species of calamites, though possibly some sort of pteridosperm. I also found some large calamites stems in the same site in a coal plate but I was unable to take them with me, as they were very brittle and falling apart. I unfortunately do not have any pictures, but they did have visible nodes.

Hi, Another ID help question, I wasn't sure if these might be fish scales or plant fossils or something else. These are from Missouri, not sure of the age or more precise location unfortunately.

Cladophlebis texensis, Lewisville Formation
Mikrogeophagus posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Woodbine Formation
Cladophlebis texensis, North TX Cenomanian, Cretaceous July, 2022 These tiny ferns lived on the deltaic plain amongst Protohadros and other dinosaurs. Eventually they were swept away and carefully preserved in these mudstones. Truly a unique Cretaceous find for TX. Sometime soon, I want to revisit this site and search for other unusual fossils perhaps of insects or even feathers. A dino tooth wouldn't be so bad either.-
