2 years, 8 months ago2 years, 8 months agoUsing USA as location has little value. It is too general. Narrow it down. In most of the US you will never find Dino Bones. Knowing location will also give clues to age of object.
Photograph your specimen on a neutral background without patterns. Avoid using the flash option on your camera. Do your photography out side. If sunlight is too…[Read more]

David Powers started the topic Stromatoporoidea in the forum What Is It? 2 years, 8 months ago
2 years, 8 months ago2 years, 8 months agoExploring a shallow cave in what is listed as Cambrian age sandstone I found numerous lumps projecting out of the caves ceiling. Many of these lumps are layered like onions. At first I thought they were stromatolites, because they are in Cambrian age rock or the rock matches descriptions of the Flathead Formation. After a bit of work I was able…[Read more]

3 years ago3 years agoMelissa Calvert, go to a geologic map of VT. to identify the primary rocks present in the location where your rock was found. Knowing the age and general geology of the area will help you to sort out if what you have is a fossil or other. Here is a link to such a map. I use such maps here in Montana to help me identify good locations for fossil…[Read more]

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month agoWhat you have are sea shell fossils. Even the bits that look like teeth. If you can find out the age of the rock you, it will be easier to identify the shells.

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month agoFossilized cracked mud.Abe I would post pictures of such mud cracks that are from cambrian rock formations, but the comments section doesn’t allow for pictures posting as comments. Such mud cracks are a geologic feature left by water features such as ponds, lakes and seas.

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month agoAmy Wu the fossils you posted are productid brachiopods. If you can learn the age of the rocks you will be able to narrow down what kind of productid it is. Also try to learned what kind of brachiopods are common for the location of the rock. Some only show up in narrow time span.

Mollusc Mania 3 years, 3 months ago
3 years, 3 months ago3 years, 3 months agoCollected yesterday from Kevin member of Marias Formation, near Loma Montana. I have been exploring a strata of sandy shale that is about 10 to 12 CM and is about 6 feet from the top of the Kevin rocks. Above the Kevin shale is glacial till. The explored strata rest on about 8 feet of dark grey bentonite shale. The lower bed of shale is nearly…[Read more]
