The Fossil Forum - Fossils, Paleontology & Science
30 Nov 2024 at 11:00am
In this area, we celebrate our amateur contributions to the paleontological sciences. Whether by volunteering their time (lab work, collections maintenance, organized field work), or through the donation of significant specimens to scientific institutions, amateurs have always played an important but unheralded part!
Geodized fossils from the Mississippian of southern Indiana

So these fossils were actually exotic yard ornaments in Florida. I learned a valuable lesson about being skeptical of locations where people claim they have found something. I appreciate yall's earlier posts and pictures which gave me very good context for the information that our emeritus geologists shared with me.

This is a category showcasing member collections. All plant fossils were found in the Llewellyn Formation (300 mya, Pennsylvanian Period) and are one of the few places where one can find these very detailed white (sometimes yellow) ferns on a striking contrast of black shale.

If you have a lot of specimens like that one with the huge mix of fossils, you might take one of the "worse" ones and soak it in vinegar overnight. If the matrix is limestone and the fossils are silicified, the acid will react with the matrix and remove it leaving the fossils intact because the acid can't react with silicate material.

Clearly some nice fossils can be found, if you know exactly where to look, but there is a reason we don't see a lot of Puerto Rican fossils. Don Paleontology is a very scarce hobby and barely any locals here have any knowledge of fossils, and a lot of them still have the thought that fossils are only found in museums.

They bring rich dirt from Bone Valley to Wauchula for people to find amazing fossils. The experience is unlike no other, it?s a dry dig, which means you do not get wet, you sift through the material exposing the most beautiful teeth and other fossils that have been preserved more than 2 million years.

Can't figure out what that fossil is? Share bright, sharp images in .JPG format, and general location info here for identification!
How do you display your fossils? - The Fossil Forum
22 Nov 2024 at 4:53pm
As for the cabinets where I display fossils I use 3 things. The Archive cabinet I just mentioned. These low IKEA bookshelf boxes, which are just my favorite thing to display. They are really everywhere in my house. And like @Masp just mentioned the Ikea Detolf display cabinet are great for displaying fossils and other thing.
