FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

looks like Macroneuropteris or something close.
definitely leaf. don’t know the species, but l have an identical tree in my garden. this is probably an ancestor of that tree, or it could be convergent evolution
that’s really neat
@mackenzie-smith could help
@chloe-geddes, @smudge-smith I agree with @jim-barkley. To add on to it a little more, this looks like a Mazon Creek nodule which puts it at about 309 Ma (mid-Pennsylvanian which is part of the Carboniferous). Mazon Creek nodules come from the Francis Creek Shale Member of the Carbondale Formation.
@mackenzie-smith wow! Thank you!!
