    If it’s petrified (or fossilized in case I’m wrong). And if they are ancient tree branch pieces I’d say they are about 230 million years old maybe more or less. I found these in Holliston’s old railroads across from Lowland St. in 2008 before it got converted into a walking/biking trail. Massachusetts is mostly Triassic with some plant fossils,…[Read more]

    I’m sorry. I meant petrified.

    @ myFossil

    I’m suspecting that these specimens are fossilized tree branch pieces. Please watch my video below.

    Can someone please help me with these specimens? Found in Holliston, MA.  The width ranges from 14-15mm
    The thickness ranges from 1/4″ – 6mm.

      Hi Jen! You may want to post questions about specimens in the “what is it?” forum rather than in these groups. That’s available on the online site – not the app, yet! You should be able to get some help there!

      It is a section though a trilobite, probably Gravicalymene or Calymene. Similar to specimens of Gravicalymene celebra, found in the Silurian Laurel Dolomite of Kentucky, or the Silurian in Grafton, Illinois, and other Silurian Dolomites.

      The first picture shows some fracturing characteristc of chert or chalcedony (silicic rocks) however, I’m having a hard time viewing the second picture. Could you please upload one with that orientation but taken from the top please (instead of the side)? For reference I’m using UMass’s geo departments fossil and mineral site guide by Gleba. It’s…[Read more]

      Thanks. Typically you won’t have that sort of texture on a scute. I think it’s chert embedded in another rock.

      I think this is a sample with two minerals neither pertaining to fossils. There is a quartz and diorite quarry in Holliston so these minerals are a result of old volcanic activity. Sorry!
