4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months agoThat’s the thing 😫 my friend gave it to me. His father gave it to him, along with some matrix copper and other fossils. His father was in the Navy and they moved around a lot. They did lived in Florida for many years. He said his father never told him what it was. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago.

@eliana-r @sadie-mills This looks like either the trunk or root from a Pennsylvanian age tree like Lepidodendron.

5 years, 3 months ago5 years, 3 months agoThank you very informational. I don’t dare open it though, I keep it with other rock, minerals & raw elements I find. Put them in a clear box or glass container.

5 years, 3 months ago5 years, 3 months agoOld unopened NATURE CLUB scholastic book (1994) with Fossils!! Oyster bivalve, Brachiopod, Fossil Limestone, Petrified Wood one is dated 136 million years old and the other three are older. I wonder if the fossils are actually real? #fossil
-
I don’t doubt they are real. I can’t really see though (getting a glare from the plastic). These are common fossils in pockets of the US and are often used for commercial and education purposes. Limestone itself is not a fossil (it’s a rock) but can have fossils in it. It should be titled as fossiliferous limestone. The main forgeries on the…[Read more]

Hi, @eliana-r – are you asking where the kit is from? It looks the the fossils have detailed information with them.
-
Lol! That’s what I meant 🤦🏻♀️Thank you for catching that. But yes a fossil book teaching kit or maybe a examples for a class?
-
It looks different from kits I have seen before, these are boxed really well. Usually samples from Wards (educational company) are in mediocre containers. Did you find them at a garage sale or something? It’s possible they were part of an educational or personal collection.

You can certainly use them to teach. They remind me of fossils you can buy to start a collection.
-
@eliana-r that is so cool!! It looks like you have some very well documented specimens.
-
The labels look like they came from a fossil company that used to sell mail order in the late 1960’s. I can’t remember the name of the company, but they did have pretty good data on their specimens. I want to say they we out of Texas, but I could be mistaken.

Where did you find it? Location can help narrow down the possibilities of what it is!

Oh wow
Thank you
I agree with @jess-cost looks Carboniferous plant-like to me! A big specimen!
@eliana-r This is the root from a club moss tree called lepidodendron. However, we give the roots the morphogenus name of Stigmaria.
@eliana-r – we can narrow in your classification if you are interested in editing the specimen information.
Kingdom Plantae > Family Lepidodendraceae > Genus Lepidodendron.
