The Fossil Forum - Fossils, Paleontology & Science

In this area, we celebrate our amateur contributions to the paleontological sciences. Whether by volunteering their time (lab work, collections maintenance, organized field work), or through the donation of significant specimens to scientific institutions, amateurs have always played an important but unheralded part! 4.1k.
Geodized fossils from the Mississippian of southern Indiana

So these fossils were actually exotic yard ornaments in Florida. I learned a valuable lesson about being skeptical of locations where people claim they have found something. I appreciate yall's earlier posts and pictures which gave me very good context for the information that our emeritus geologists shared with me.

Location. Chicago, IL. Member Title: MotM January - 2021 - Tetrapod enthusiast. Posted September 8, 2021. Tetrapods are pretty sparse in Western PA and if you find any they ought to be reported to the Carnegie Museum. In terms of localities to collect at, you can find plant fossils just about anywhere.

I've made a link to an Imgur album for all of the fossils we collected. The caption for each photo is my best guess at an ID, and the numbers denote which rocks they are in. Most of the fossils were found in/by streams, although some were found on the ground by some exposed bedrock. Thank you for reading, and I hope you can help

All plant fossils were found in the Llewellyn Formation (300 mya, Pennsylvanian Period) and are one of the few places where one can find these very detailed white (sometimes yellow) ferns on a striking contrast of black shale. The plants died and fell into the swamp, where in a low temperature, pressure, and oxygen environment the plant tissue ...

How do you display your fossils? - The Fossil Forum

It depends on the types of fossils. Shelving, plastic boxes, cabinets, riker mounts, jewelry boxes, tackle boxes. All of these plus a few more I've probably forgotten, are all good ways to display fossils, depending on size. Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER. VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024.

204. Location. North Carolina, USA. Posted February 19 (edited) Hello everyone! I've once again made a return trip out to Holden Beach, which is my first trip of 2024.
