Hello, could you please help me identify it? It was found on a trail in mountains, somewhere around here: Jaworzyna Krynicka (Western Carpathian Mountains). I think it is a kind of plant. The imprint is visible only on one side of the rock, rest is completely uninteresting. I guess most of you is from USA, so I'd add that ruler is in cm so the "stem" is about 8cm = 3.15 inch

I found this bone in the river, possibly from Pleistocene (bone color + some kind of subfossil procceses) and what is that? I made a research, and this is smillair to nothing, maybe somebody knows what is that possibly.

Here's a little bivalve mollusc from Kowala, Poland, of Late Devonian (Famenian) age. Can anyone identify this to some more precise category than "bivalve mollusc"? This bivalve is about 1.6 cm wide.

Hi, I have been recently to a Cretaceous quarry in Kazimierz and I found these. I believe this one is some sort of a sponge - can anyone confirm or correct this assumption? This one too, I guess. I also found two specimens like this - they look like some kind of bivalve. Can anyone help ID those? I will appreciate any clues as whay these might be. Kasia

Unidentified inclusions from Baltic amber (Poland) from my collection.
Emerald0125 posted a topic in Member Collections
Hi, I come from Poland. I love Baltic amber and inclusions are my great passion. On my blog "Planeta Fordon" I posted my specimens which I donated to researchers or to the Polish Museum of Evolution in Krakow. My blog is here https://planeta-fordon.blogspot.com/ A few inclusions are still unidentified, Can you suggest what they are ? I will be very grateful. Number 154 https://planeta-fordon.blogspot.com/2020/11/inkluzja-nr-154.html Number 67 https://planeta-fordon.blogspot.com/2020/07/inkluzzja-nr-67.html?fbclid=IwAR0qwfuDHZZAPFnoxJ6bwXWn446EFYdG5RTKjlzGYtscovs9UmLh-fuqS40-

Pleistocene rib and vertebra found independently in Eastern Lesser Poland
Agonim posted a topic in Fossil ID
I was told the rib could belong to some Pleistocene horse or a young mammoth. There were also proposals that the vertebra belonged to the steppe bison or the woolly rhinoceros. They both were found in Eastern Lesser Poland. What do you think? Thanks in advance! -
Hi guys! Just Found it in a riverside (Vistula) where currents are opposite to the direction of the river's flow. Photo taken after rinsing and removing the stone that got stuck in the hole. I wonder how old the bone can be and what animal it belonged to? Location: Toruń, Poland

Hello everyone! I'm a 28 year old woman from Poland, living in Japan. Long term fascination with anything prehistoric, however a complete noob when it comes to fossils. Hence why I'm here I just got my first fossil (spinosaurus tooth) and already asked about its quality here. So happy I found this amazing forum. Glad to learn from your collective wealth of knowledge. You guys rock! (pun intended)

BVP Fieldschool to Poland (09/07/2022 - 17/07/2022)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone! I have just returned from a fieldschool to Poland which was organized by the BVP (Belgium Society for Paleontology) in association with the Universities of Opole and Gdansk. The fieldschool started on the 9th july and ended on july 17. The first 2-3 days of the trip took place in the historic city of Gdansk which lies by the Baltic Sea where the main focus was on Baltic Amber. This included lectures, workshops, a small museum tour and some trips to the beach in search for amber. For the 2nd part of the trip we travelled to the south towards Opole and more specifically the Jurapark and digsite in Krasiejow where we had multiple lectures, workshops, and fieldwork in both Krasiejow and other quarries in the area. So in this topic I wanted to make a day by day report on this amazing trip and experience. Since we travelled by car I only returned yesterday evening so most of the finds still have to be photographed/prepped so expect them somewhere at the end of this topic (which might also take a few days to complete.) -

Hi! I made new display cabinet for my fossils picked for about 3 years now, just wanted to take you for a tour through my neighboring areas of interest Most of them are just boring ammonites but I recently acquired some new specimens like that big chunk of nautilus or some wood from a new discovered place, they're from Bathonian level. It's getting interesting

Anybody can identify this Tooth? Found in cretaceous, turonian sandy-limestone in Poland (Tyniec, Cracow). I think it's a Shark Tooth, or other fish but I don't know which exactly.

The thread http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/84678-adams-silurian/ was getting rather enormous, so I have decided to leave that one to deal with the Llandovery and Wenlock and put my specimens from the Late / Upper Silurian here, though I don't have a great deal of material from the Ludlow and Pridoli yet. However, I do still have some jolly nice specimens to show off here. Here are my other collection threads for the Cambrian and Ordovician ; http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/78887-adams-cambrian/&tab=comments#comment-832018 and : http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/78974-adams-ordovician/&tab=comments#comment-832912 In the mid 1980's, on the way home from one of my annual visits to the Hay-on-Wye second-hand bookshops, I managed to persuade my girlfriend at the time to take a bit of a detour and stop off at a roadcuttting just outside Aymestrey,, Herefordshire in the Welsh Borderlands. The rock here is the Aymestry (sic) Limestone Formation, part of the Upper Bringewood Beds and is Gorstian, Lower Ludlow in age, so about 426 mya and a little younger than the Much Wenlock Shale Formation. Many species of coral, trilobites and brachiopods found in the formation are the same as those found at Dudley, but the bed is noted for its massive numbers of the brachiopod Kirkidium knighti (was K. knightii),a lovely, large pentamerid. In fact, during my hour or so searching, I found almost nothing but this species, the only exception being a couple of Atrypa reticularis. The problem was that this limestone is thick and seriously hard, even the broken bits are generally huge, but I managed to obtain half a dozen reasonable specimens and about the same number of fragments. Over the years I have traded, given away or sold them, so that now I only have the best one left. Here is Kirkidium knighti : It's a shame the tip of the beak is broken off : I make index cards for all my fossils, this is the one I made for the specimens at the time, back in the mid 1980's : And today's version : There was a minor extinction between the Wenlock and the Ludlow, known as the Mulde event and it is often said to have primarily effected graptolites and conodonts, but it seems to me it had a massive impact on the bryozoan faunas of the time too. Gone are the varied stony stick and mound trepostomes that made up such an integral part of many faunas from the Middle Ordovician through to the Middle Silurian and even cystoporid groups such as the Constellariidae became extinct at this time. Trepostomes and cystoporids did survive until the end of the Triassic, but were never as important again, the bryozoan faunas would start to become dominated by fenestrids in the Devonian, though they reached their peak of diversity and distribution in the Carboniferous. I will look closely at my limited number of rocks, but I don't think I have a single Late Silurian bryozoan. I know our friend @Mainefossils studies the Late Silurian Leighton Formation in microscopic detail, but I can't recall him posting any bryozoans. Are there any, Asher, old chap? Interesting.

Hello everyone My name is Tomasz . After years in Asia I'm currently living in Poland. Recently I've found this "something" in my backyard, and this "something" is interesting enough to be fascinated by it. I like to think that this - maybe cycad or bennettitial fossil ? - can be 150 million years old

A break from the usual dinosaurs, I am quite interested in this as it is an oddity. It is apparently a cro-magnon femur. From the site of a gravel pit along the former San River in Poland. I am waiting to hear the measurements from seller, but my questions are thus A - Is it actually real B - Is it actually legal Like, selling/buying a bone from a cro-magnon/early human seems like something that shouldn't be legal. Seller is in Europe, would I have any issues exporting it to the UK?

Hi guys! I was in the Warsaw Geological Museum and there I came across this specimen which reminded me of Tabulate coral, but it was signed as a "sponge"... The sponge from the "maastrichtian age", when Tabulata already was extinct. I couldn't be more confused. This one still looks like coral to me. What do you think?

Menner described this species, under the generic name of Pavlovichthys, from the Lower Khadum deposits of the Caucasus. Taxonomy from paleobiodb.org. Diagnosis for the genus Holosteus from Danil'chenko 1960 p. 40: “Body length about 8-12 times the height; head length 2-3 times body height. Snout long, conical. Lower jaw articulated with quadrate in front of the orbit, and bearing sharp flat teeth: small anteriorly, larger in the posterior region. Premaxilla long, thin, fringing the entire length of the jaw. Vertebrae 70-90. Ribs thin, long. Trunk vertebrae with bifurcated neurapophyses. Intermuscular ossicles well developed. Dorsal and anal fin situated in posterior part of body; anal starting in front of vertical from beginning of dorsal. Pelvic fins wide, with numerous rays. Several free, rayless interapophyses behind the occiput, the anterior of them with small bony plates. Caudal stem thin. Caudal fin separated from anal and dorsal by small interval. Caudal fin rays surrounding the urostyle. Though retaining the main characteristics of the Paralepididae, Holosteus differs from all recent genera of the family in the position of the dorsal fin, which is displaced backward behind the beginning of the anal, in the wide pelvic fins and in the marked development of intermuscular ossicles.” Line drawing from Danil'chenko 1969, p. 41: Identified by oilshale using Danil'chenko 1969.

I've been visiting this forum since a long time and never registered. I appreciate how valuable its content is. Marine fauna has always been of my interest. As a kid I used to gather books with mosasaurids and plesiosaurids. I collect Carcharocles megalodon teeth (without restorations) and many other fossils, including these to be found in Poland as well. Stay safe everyone in this difficult time.

Since I’m asking about one fish, I might as well ask about another. Again, @Fossildude19 Tim I would love your opinion on this one. Of course, everyone’s opinions are welcome. Here is an Antigonia sp. fish from Poland, age is Oligocene. Fish measures 18mm in length. First photos are direct screenshots. Next two photos have been enhanced with a magnifier from my photo app. Thanks in advance again!
