Petrified wood, maybe? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Probably

Yep petrified wood I think

Greetings @rebecca-barnett ! @mackenzie-smith should be able to aid with an ID

Hi @rebecca-barnett. For wood, it’s best to image what would give you a cross section so in this case the top or bottom. However, I think this is a sedimentary rock.

Greetings @rebecca-barnett ! Could you do a closer shot of the bottom left corner of your specimen in the first photo. I see what could be a bryozoan.

Some kind of fern

@mackenzie-smith

could help ID this.

Taking a wild guess I’d say the specimen is of the order Medullosales
, but Mackenzie will certainly know more. @rebecca-barnett Could provide the a more precise location of where the specime was found like county or town? It will help with the geochronology data, and thus aid in obtaining an ID

pecopteris?

Jasper co mo. Wildcat park

@rebecca-barnett, @Jim-barkley is correct, it is Pecopteris. I would hold off on putting it in an order though since Pecopteris is a morphogenus and does not belong to a any one group. It is a convergent form. @matthew-gramling is correct in that it could belong to Medullosales however it could also belong to Marattiales.

Thanks for the update @mackenzie-smith!!!

Leaf imprints or eroded rock, hard to tell which

if leaf @mackenzie-smith could help

Hi @rebecca-barnett and @smudge-smith. Where was this collected? Having the site can help narrow the ID because it can tell us what literature to look into if it has already been published. From a quick glance it looks like conifer leaves on a branch like @a-trilobite suggested.

to me it looks like some type of mollusks but I’m not a pro just a collector.

Looks to me to just be a nodule, how is it on the other side?

This is a very cool concretion @rebecca-barnett. Unfortunately, the photos are too blurry for me to tell if there are any fossils in it! If you could update this post with clearer photos (with a scale) and the location information that would be useful for ID!

Beautiful

looks like fossilized wood

i think so because of the second picture you can see a bark line and you can make out growth rings. I’m not a professional just a collector. it’s quite beautiful!

not 2nd pic 3rd pic sorry

fossil barnacles?

They appear to be mud rocks that were used in sling shots for hunting and fighting most likely by Indian tribes. If you look closely there might by etchings on them that are still left that will tell whom the owner was so they could go back and get their weapons. I would do a little research and find out what tribes lives along the banks of that…[Read more]
