Like the title states… we are stumped. Found on the Kaw River as well. Thank you in advance, all suggestions appreciated!

I picked up this little bean-shaped thing, 10+ years ago, from a beach in either Charles or Calvert County. I can't find any modern beans or seeds that look like this. Ideas?

Found this at warden point, Sheppey. Wondering if it was a seed?

Hi everyone! I just found this pieces after the newest trip in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The information I got that the sediment there is from late Jurassic to early Creataceous, and most the fossil they found are fern. So anyone have an idea that my pieces could be (Seed/wood/fern/..)? I’m very appreciated. thank you

Found along side the Rio Grande in Las Cruces NM. Thought it deserved to be picked up.

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of going on an ESCONI trip to a giant shale pile in Danville, IL in search of Pennsylvanian fossils. I was fortunate enough to find a beautiful Trigonocarpus seed. (I included it for comparison to specimen 3). Second specimen seems to be another seed I can’t quite identify. After some research, I’ve come up with basically nothing. It’s textured, and has the shape of a teardrop. (Below) As for number 3, I actually just noticed it today while going through some of my finds. I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking, but it looks kinda similar to my Trigonocarpus seed, but with more ribs. I was thinking possibly Holcospermum because of how ribbed it is? Unfortunately it’s a little hard to see as not much of it is exposed. Could just be nothing, but I thought it looked peculiar. (Below)

Hi! I am new here, my name is Óscar and I am a spanish boy (16 years old) that are interested in paleontology, I like specially flora remains he he. Here I have a unidentified fossil from the Carboniferous period, Stephanian B of NW Spain. Terrestrial environment. Could any body say me what could It be? They are two different specimens, and they are incomplete, but they remind me of a bract, since in the large specimen a more elongated area is attached to something else that idk what is It, but it's from the same specimen, in the small specimen you can also apreciate It but bad preserved. Both pieces are the same type of fossil. There are many Aphlebias and Lepidocystis asociated in the area. Thanks you! ^^

Hello all! I went on a trip last weekend for fossil ferns around the Pottsville/St. Clair area and found something I think is interesting. Is this a seed pod or something different? As always, all help is greatly appreciated! @historianmichael

Hello Everyone, I went to Bracklesham Bay for the first time yesterday and despite the sand found several ray plates, shark teeth and gastropods but this find stood out. I'm not sure what it is but I'm hoping it might be a seed or fruit. I know that Nipa fruit are occasionally found there. Each box is 5mm. Hopefully someone can let me know what it is. Thank you, Benton

Hi I need help identifying/confirming some fossils found in Greene county Missouri here are a few. A grub in volcanic glass, a walnut, and a seed beginning to sprout. Could anyone tell me anything about them? I also have some others I need identified. Sorry, I do not have an international ruler. Grub is a half inch long

Hello all, I recently collected this interesting permineralized fruit from the Browns River on Vancouver Island, B.C. This river exposes outcrops of the lower Trent River formation of the Nanaimo Group, which represents a relatively nearshore Campanian marine environment. The fossil itself was found in an outcrop of fairly poorly consolidated sandstone, which also contained large pieces of coalified wood debris and a poorly preserved, crushed ammonite. I'm not particularly optimistic about getting a positive ID on this, but I am interested to see what others think about it, and would definitely appreciate some educated suggestions about a possible affinity. As far as I'm aware, fossil fruits from the Nanaimo Group are quite rare, so I would also be interested to know if anything similar to this has been found before or not. (Fossil is ~1.5cm long, the angle it's photographed at isn't completely flat). Front (note the longitudinal groove): Rear (this end is partially eroded away, presumably because it was the part sticking out of the rock): Top (note the round scar of the hilum): Bottom: Surface texture: Thanks for your attention! @Wrangellian@fossisle

I recently found this on the foreshore of warden point, an Eocene, London clay deposit on the isle of sheppey, it has a woody internal structure that the pics don’t really show and it is kind of symmetrical, is it a seed pod, thanks

I thought I had seen the whole gamut of shapes and materials from the Lee Creek mine spoils, but this tiny (2cm) specimen has me stumped. It looks like a tiny brain with “folds” radiating away from a central seam. The “bottom” has a deeper seam, like the meeting of two halves of a walnut. I have found blocks of milky amber in North Carolina before, but nothing with any symmetry. if it’s a coprolite, what’s the seam? Could it be a little skull cast? I have been staring at this thing for a year. Please help. Frank

A friend found these two items in Northwest Arkansas/SW Missouri in a stream bed. Wondering what they might be. and second item similar size without scale, sorry. Thanks for any comments.

I was guessing some sort of accreation but when a friend dropped it I became confused. Any help greatly appreciated. Found on friends property in the foothills of Denver, CO. USA near the Fossil Trace GG (yes they actually have fossils imbedded in cliffs and other features on the golf course.) P.S. I ordered a centimeter graph pad and hopefully this will be last "improper" post

Apologies in advance for the large/unorganized pictures. I think it might be a walnut seed, but I'm not completely sure. I'm no expert on modern plants, let alone ones old enough to fossilize. It was found in the late 1980s/early 1990s. As a kid, I stumbled across it in a riverbed in Needmore, IN (USA). Mainly I wanted to post it as I'm guessing it is unusual to have half a fossilized seed that includes what I think is the nut part of the seed. This fossil was found in this condition (it wasn't cut open as far as I know). I'm guessing the green coloration in the interior is due to some sort of algae from the riverbed - I've never tried to clean it out (and probably never will).

In a collection I recently acquired, some of the fossils in the collection had no ID with them. This fossil looks real familiar to me but I cant remember where or when I saw it. 27mm or a little over an inch long. Any help is appreciated.
