Fossil Mimosa Leaf (Mimosites coloradensis). Found in the John Day Formation. Specimen is from the late Eocene and is about 45 milion years old. Oregon. (Collection of the Mines Museum of Earth Science. Golden, Colo.)
For this plate form I threw clay onto the slab roller canvas in bits leaving gaps, then rolled it between the canvas to join all the bits together...I imprinted a gum leaf twiggy branch into it after that. Once bisque fired I coated the piece in a wash of copper oxide, then splashed clear glaze over parts of it to give it a more fossil/opalized look. It was fired in an electric kiln to earthenware temp.

Fossil Catkin (Unknown species). Catkins are clusters of apetalous flowers commonly found on willows, birches and poplars. The tree that produced this catkin 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.
These fossils are at a creek near Pelion Hut. There was an amazing variety, it was fun to see the diversity and complexity.

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants or animals. For such remains to be considered fossils, scientists have decided they have to be over 10,000 years old. There are two main types of fossils, body fossils and trace fossils. Body fossils are the preserved remains of a plant or animal’s body. Trace fossils are the remains of the activity of an animal, such as preserved trackways, footprints, fossilized egg shells, and nests.

Coprolite from the Miocene of Nebraska, USA. (public display, Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park, Nebraska, USA)
Fossil biogenic products are objects produced by ancient organisms. Many paleontologists refer to these as trace fossils, but they really aren't. Examples of fossil biogenic products include eggs, amber (= fossilized tree sap), coprolites (= fossilized feces), and spider silk.
Coprolites are fossilized fecal masses. They range in size from microscopic-sized pellets to moderately sizable dung piles. The most famous attributed examples are “Washington coprolites” from the Miocene Wilkes Formation of Washington State, USA, but these are now considered cololites (intestinal casts). True coprolites are fossilized dung. Thin sections of coprolites often reveal fragments of incompletely digested plant matter or sometimes undigested animal tissue. Coprolite studies can provide information about the diet of ancient organisms, assuming the coprolite maker is known with some specificity (which is often not the case).
This Miocene-aged coprolite is from Ashfall Fossil Beds in Nebraska. The site consists of numerous fossils in a wind-blown deposit of volcanic ash derived from an Idaho volcano.

From exhibit signage:
Coprolites
These coprolites (fossil dung) were found just below the volcanic ash bed. They are made almost entirely of ground-up bones.
Judging from their size and composition, these no-longer-fragrant feces were probably produced by the extinct bone-crushing dog Aelurodon, a wolf-sized scavernger that patrolled the Ashfall waterhole.

Our dinosaur fossil and skeleton are created in accordance with the specimens of animals that have been collected. With the main body structured with metal frame, the bones are made up of resin and fiberglass. Especially, these superior materials and outstanding crafts elaborately make our products strikingly vivid and lifelike.
This chunk of soft sandstone bears the fossil imprints of many Turritella snail shells. Sometimes, the shells get filled with sediment and as the shell disolves the spriral cast of the shell's interior is left as the only sign of the snail existance. You can see one such internal cast in the center of the rock.

Another fossil photo, this one from a coal mine in BC. Not 1:1 macro but still close and I tried to pick up some detail in the rock.
Fossil crinoid stems exposed in a outcrop of Madison Limestone. The formation was deposited during the Mississippian period, about 340 million years ago. Jones Creek area. Dinosaur National Monument. Uintah Co., Utah.
This orthoceras fossil is unusual in that many six-sided pyramidal calcite crystals formed on the walls of its interior. There is also what appears to be some red-brown siderite with a faintly metallic luster. Found at a road cut in southern Indiana, U.S.
Located between Payson and Camp Verde, Arizona, Fossil Creek flows all year as it is feed from a set of natural springs. It was recently returned to full flow after the removal of an upstream dam, which previously diverted over 90% of the stream for use at two of Arizona's oldest hydroelectric power plants, Childs and Irving.
