- Ancient Seas of Arizona June 17, 2013Fossil Hunter: rockaddict Location: East of Payson, Arizona [Editor's Note: The first fossil has a very "oystery" look to it, but may be a type of brachiopod. The "net-like" fossil at the top of picture two is a Bryozoa, the bottom "worm-like" fossil looks to be part of a crinoid or other echinoderm such as a star [...] […]
- Mancos Shale Fossils June 13, 2013Fossil Collector: Mark P. Location: Mancos Shale [Note: The Mancos Shale is an Upper Cretaceous formation of Utah and the Colorado Plateau. This find is something we we we could pick up and take a closer look at, but the general impression of the black areas reminds us of large fish bones and scales. The size of [...] […]
- Great Lakes Trilobite June 4, 2013Fossil Collector: Keehan Location: Collingwood, Ontario, Canada [Editor: Trilobites shed their shells periodically just as modern crustaceans do today. What you have likely found here is a fragment of shell that is missing the head and tail sections of the trilobite. Can any trilobite collectors tell us the specific species?] […]
- Nebraska River Bones May 29, 2013Fossil Collector: Ryan W. Location: Missouri River, Nebraska [Editor: That makes two of us, but it is a nice find. What do you think? Is this an ice age mammal or something more recent? Please leave a response.] […]
- Lyme Regis Mosasaur May 9, 2013Fossil Collector: Paige R Location: Lyme Regis, United Kingdom [Editor: Very nice find! This appears to be a handsome mosasaur tooth. A mosasaur is a marine version of the modern monitor lizard some of which could achieve enormous size. The large root seems atypical for mosasaur teeth at this location so maybe collectors more familiar with Lyme [...] […]
- Arkansas Ammonite? May 2, 2013Fossil Collector: Elizabeth K. Location: Snowball, Arkansas [Editor's Note: The AGS usually knows what it is talking about, but we are having a difficult time seeing a nautiloid here. Anyone recognize it?] […]
- Fossilized Wood or Wood Casts? April 29, 2013Fossil Hunter: Buddy Location: Central Ohio [Well, let's try a mash up just to spark conversation so we will add fossil root casts as another alternative. Would anyone like to leave a response in favor of any of these?] […]

hey Mike, I live in Pa and ive found some of the same type of fossil.. I thought for the longest time it was scales from a snake or something,. I recently found out that it the bark of a 350million year old swamp tree, it stood about 30ft high hope that helps
Hi Rich! Would you happen to know the name of this tree? I would be interested in find out more info about them. I realize they are probly no long around but did not know if there was any info on them.
Thanks!
