I have found a few like this in Pearl River County along the Wolf River. I believe it is a type of coral. The ones I have looked like footprints until cleaned. I’ll post pics of mine tomorrow and compare them. Almost all fossils found in that area are fossilized corals.;) hope this helps
-
I live on a ridge next to the ox bow. I actually mostly find fossilized animal bones and “stones” which I think may be primitive tools.
-
Thank you. 🙂
-
I think this is probably a well worn rock and not a coral, but could someone check it out to make sure? @bill-heim @matthew-gramling?
-
Greetings @daniel-park et al.! I have to concur that this is just a river worn stone.
-
Hi, all, I agree with @Daniel-Park and @Matthew-Gramling here.
-
👍TY. I have large collection. I’m trying to sort out what might meet your definition. I appreciate everyone’s comments.

Hi @Paula-Hunt, I believe this is a chert or a sandstone and not a fossil.

Imprint in fossilized shell or coral. MDEQ website has the most info available on the types of stuff your finding. I’ve hunted there for years and the state just doesn’t have extensive research on these areas.
-
Hi, @Paula-Hunt, I believe this is also a rock made of chert. Very cool find!

Hi @gwen-kilian, do you know anything else about the locality this came from? It seems likely the specimen was collected from the Bermont Fm if it is indeed Eremotherium and not another ground sloth. Also, can you add Order Pilosa to the classification? Thanks!
-
UF has lots of information about this site, but I’m a generation removed since this came from my Aunt’s collection. More likely, I’m wrong on the Genus.
-
You’re right about the Bermont Fm and I don’t see Eremotherium on the mammal list. Suggestion of genus? https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/florida-vertebrate-fossils/sites/leisey-shell-pit-1a/
-
Sorry this took me so long to reply to @gwen-kilian! I guess it got lost in the shuffle with all the specimens uploaded. If you tag us @username, it makes it easier for us to find these comments. It’s hard to say for sure if it’s Nothrotheriops or Paramylodon since it’s a vertebra, which can be notoriously difficult to distinguish taxonomically…[Read more]

Thanks, @smoran.

horse tooth…
-
of course, of course
-
Hi @gwen-kilian, is there any chance there might be Pleistocene in the area? It’s not impossible this Equus tooth came from the Yorktown but it would certainly make more sense if it was Pleistocene.
-
I definitely think it’s a valid question, but I can only give you a speculative answer.
-
The Neuse River is considerable in strata and further up-river, you can find the Castle Hayne and Trent Formations.
-
They have been documented with Pleistocene marls and extensive shells, bivalves, etc. but I haven’t been able to locate much research on mammals in the area. Personally, I have quite a collection of Proboscidea fragments, horse, beaver, tapir, deer, and peccary from the same location as this horse.
-
The location in question is between two dredged creeks and these clays are well documented as YT and PgR. This documentation doesn’t account for movement and Lawd only knows what has flowed down the river from wherever. (I’ve found lots of interesting things on its shore.)
-
Same with this one @gwen-kilian! Missed these comments. I think the safest thing we can do here is put a ? after Yorktown and in the notes indicate it’s possible it had originated from an unnamed Pleistocene unit. Thanks!
-
Thank you, @smoran. Changes made.
