@ samantha-ocon, sorry ma’am, I’m professionally a medical doctor,working in the field of radiodiagnosis. Collecting fossils is my passion.I do not have that much of clear and technical knowledge in this field to answer you. It is my pleasure to be here and have such wonderful friends like you who can guide me. Thank you.

That is totally okay! Apps like Rockd can tell you what formation you are in and what fossils are around when you are in the field. If you are on a computer at home, you can use https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/ to search for the place you were at, and find out what rocks you were standing on.

Very cool photos. I’m not quite sure where to start with this one. @mackenzie-smith, @jeanette-pirlo, any input?
-
I’m not really sure either. The region has a long geologic record but is most famous for Late Triassic fossil corals from the former Tethys Sea.
-
thank you..Mac.,thank you Samantha.
-
could it be a fossil of Belemnite? @ Mackenzie-smith.
-
@drsukhendu-mukhopadhay Yes. I think you’re right. Shape and time match.

Beautiful ammonite, @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay. Do you know what formation it is from?

operculam; turbinidae.
would it be considered as fossil?? #fossil
-
These look modern to me, they’re just too shiny imo
-
is the operculum of a modern gastropod that over time have been grounded polished by the sea
-
and addresing Gloria’s coment fossils of all ages can have spectacular lusters it all depends in the time that the mineralization took to ocur and the composition of the fossils them selfs
-
@carlos-solana-redondo yes you’re generally right but in this case the specimen(s) does appear to be modern and not fossilized. It still has its original shine and coloration, traits that are usually lost during fossilization. During fossilization it might acquire new colors/textures, but it will rarely keep all of its original features like is the case here. So I agree with @gloria-carr here, this is not a fossil specimen

Looks like it!
-
I agree with MacKenzie. You can update the classification to minimally be Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Brachiopoda > Class Rhynchonellata.
-
ok.

Hi, @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay – if this is wood we can update Kingdom to be Plantae. @mackenzie-smith would you want to take a look?
-
@jbauer @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay There are too many concentric laminations for it to be wood. Plus the rings are irregular. Could be a stromatolite though but not plant.
-
@mackenzie-smith @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay – microbial was my next guess but I wasn’t sure I could rule out plants, so thanks!!!

Hi, @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay – we can update the classification to include Kingdom Plantae. @mackenzie-smith is our local plant expert. If you look at the images at the top of the summary, the comment included in the app will appear at the bottom!
-
@jbauer @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay I’m still debating if it’s wood or not. The second picture is throwing me off because of the extra mineralization on the side. But sometimes if a tree is buried in the ocean or buried by tsunami we do get salt crystals that disrupt the internal structure.

If it is it has been heavily metamorphosed. I’m seeing some fiberous strands that remind me of zeolite minerals such as actinolite.

Looks like some sort of nummulite to me, but I’m not entirely sure. Cool fossil though!
-
I agree with Cassie. It’s a nummelites. These microfossils then to be much larger than normal as they are one of the largest benthic foraminifera!
