Bryozoan fossil Collected during exploration of the Dark Cavern by Dudley Cave Rescue blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/DMUSE_003817/
A new Tennessee material I have found and as of yet have not named. This is a seam replacement of a layer of fossils that has been agatised, as I say for as lack of a more geologicaly correct term. Ranges from opaque to very translucent and contains lots of coral and bivalves. Variable material that quite often has pinholes in it when polished. There seems to be pockets of some sort of soft material, especially in some of the coral, that disolves as you polish and cut. When you do get a solid piece the detail of the fossil remnants is quite striking and it makes am interesting but not beautifull cutting material. I have never seen anything like it before and it is another stone I will be marketing in the near future. If you are a staff member at a university and desire a piece, send me an email and we will talk about it. I just want to make sure you really are what you say you are is all.
Ancient fossils, seen here in rocks of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England. The Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site, stretching nearly 100 miles from Devon to Dorset, and covering nearly 200 million years of Earth's geological history.

Fossil Stingray (Heliobatis radians) female. This creature lived during Eocene time, about 50 million years ago. This fossil is preserved in the Green River Formation, a laminated limestone precipitated from calcium-rich waters. The limestone is interbedded with many thin layers of volcanic ash and mudstone. Fossil Butte National Monument. Near Kemmerer, Lincoln Co., Wyo.

A few months ago I had an incident where my watch didn't survive the hit. So few days later I replaced my Jasper Conran watch with this matte finished Fossil watch. As always I took a photo in it's finest hour.
It is amazing what you find at the tip. Today was a box of fossils for £1! These are the only ones small enough to scan. As I am on the Jurrasic coast I guess they were probably collected locally.
After an overnight stay in Ridgecrest, CA., we proceeded to Fossil Falls, a place they called "sculpted by Fire and Ice".
Sea urchins or urchins are small, spiny, globular animals which, with their close kin, such as sand dollars, constitute the class Echinoidea of the echinoderm phylum. They inhabit all oceans. Their shell, or "test", is round and spiny, typically from 3 to 10 centimetres (1.2 to 3.9 in) across. Common colors include black and dull shades of green, olive, brown, purple, and red. They move slowly, feeding mostly on algae. Sea otters, wolf eels, triggerfish, and other predators feed on them. Their "roe" (actually the gonads) is a delicacy in many cuisines.
The name urchin is an old name for the round spiny hedgehogs that sea urchins resemble.
The earliest echinoid fossils date to the upper part of the Ordovician period (c 450 MYA), and the taxon has survived to the present day as a successful and diverse group of organisms. Spines may be present in well-preserved specimens, but usually only the test remains. Isolated spines are common as fossils.
Waptia which lived about 520 million years ago, are found as fossils in the Burgess Shale. Our trip was sponsored by the Canmore Museum and Geoscience Centre. All trips are led by the Burgess Shale Geoscience Foundation.
Irving power plant was decommissioned in 2005. The trails and area were closed while the dam, flume, buildings, and other structures were removed. The creek was designated a "Wild and Scenic River" in 2009.
Fossil Creek is one of only two National Wild & Scenic rivers in Arizona and is fed by springs coming from the cliffs of the Mogollon Rim. Over 30 million gallons of water are discharged each day at a constant 70°F. The high mineral content leaves travertine dams and deposits, giving rise to fossil-like features.
In 2005, Arizona Public Service (APS) decommissioned the Fossil Creek Dam and Flume, restoring full flows to Fossil Creek. The diversion dam at Fossil Springs was partially removed, allowing the creek to flow freely. The flume that once carried water to the power plant was disassembled. The Irving power plant and other buildings around the site were removed. Traces of history remain visible at the Irving site and along the Flume Trail in the form of old building foundations, rock work along the flume's maintenance road, and concrete pilings that once supported the flume.

There are no animal fossils here. This is what's left of an archaic waterfall. Thus, it's the fossil!
Fossil Hornwort (Ceratophyllum muricatum). These aquatic plants lived during Eocene time, about 50 million years ago. This fossil is preserved in the Green River Formation, a laminated limestone precipitated from calcium-rich waters. The limestone is interbedded with many thin layers of volcanic ash and mudstone .

There were fossils, or whatever these imprints are called, all over the rocks that have broken off the cliffs.

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is a U.S. National Monument in Wheeler and Grant counties in east-central Oregon. Located within the John Day River basin and managed by the National Park Service, the park is known for its well-preserved layers of fossil plants and mammals that lived in the region between the late Eocene, about 45 million years ago, and the late Miocene, about 5 million years ago.
Fossils have fascinated me for as far back as I can remember. A detailed account of life and geology in an expanse of time that stretches my imagination.
The intention of this image capture was to preserve as much detail and texture as possible. The use of hard shadow accomplishes this effectively.

Artistic fossils in a stone along a creekbed are a reward for the patient observer. As with all things in national parks, leaving the item and taking only a picture allows others to have the same wonderful discovery.
