1 year, 2 months ago1 year, 2 months agoNice fossil! Do you have any location, geochronology, or lithostratigraphy data for it? @devin-kent

1 year, 7 months ago1 year, 7 months ago@devin-kent Awesome find! I spy multiple trilobite fragments (or dare I say trilo-bits!), the glabella piece allows me to say these are likely Flexicalymene (perhaps F. seneria?). I would not recommend extraction, they are likely parts from molts. If you take a picture with a scale, and update the classification, location, lithostratigraphy, and…[Read more]

1 year, 8 months ago1 year, 8 months ago@devin-kent Nice find! If you want this to be marked research grade, you’ll have to go through a few extra steps. First, use the taxon wizard to fill in the classification field to Myliobatiformes. Second, fill in the lithostratigraphy section. If memory serves, these fossils come from offshore deposits of the Bone Valley Member of the Peace River…[Read more]

2 years, 7 months ago2 years, 7 months agoHi @devin-kent , looking at Macrostrat it appears that the upper part of the Creek is Silurian which is too old for seed plants. There appears to be a neighboring Late Devonian unit near the lower portion of the creek. Our earliest seed fossils that we know of come from Late Devonian rocks. While there is a strange notch on the bottom, I don’t see…[Read more]

2 years, 7 months ago2 years, 7 months agoHi @devin-kent where was this found (near what city)? Sometimes there are nodular rocks like this that are not fossils. I was going to cross reference it and see if there are reports of fossil plants found near there before. I don’t see anything specific that says it should be a rock or a fossil.
