Steve DeGoes Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Hello everyone! I'm in the Big River, San Bernardino county along the Colorado River area around the Whipple mountain range the pictures I will be sending is to get input from from you that know and to find out how far off I am on my thinking as to what they are! One thing for sure is there is alot of awesome stuff here! Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Welcome to the forum! I’m JP and happy holidays. It’s pretty quiet around here so you may not get a lot of help today but I personally only see rock and mineral material. I don’t see any fossil material. The first picture could be wood but I don’t know enough about that. You will in the future want to post fewer items in your ID and you want to include measurements along with numbers of what the items are. Otherwise people can’t really respond specifically to individual items without quoting your entire text. Best of luck and I hope you find what you’re expecting jp 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Welcome from the Valley of the Sun. Not seeing any fossils either. They all look like cobbles rounded by a river, probably the Colorado. I see some red jasper in the box. Be on the lookout for brachiopods, sponges and other fossils from the Permian Kaibab Formation. Silicified Kaibab Formations could have come from the Grand Canyon area several million years ago. https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105672-kaibab-sponges-other-fossils/#comment-1173955 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Fin Lover Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Welcome and happy holidays. I'm also just seeing geological items. 1 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Brandy Cole Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I agree that there are some beautiful pieces of red jasper in your box, but I don't see any fossil material. Your first piece lacks any of the grain features I would expect to see in petrified wood. It looks like a weathered rock with mineral infill to me.

Baking Geologist Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Lovely jaspers, conglomerate, and I think a bit of quartzite. I’m not seeing any fossils as the others have said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 No fossils -- but you sure have a great collection of minerals. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
