New Members spagbutcher Posted June 24, 2022 New Members Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hi everyone! I'm new to fossil hunting and I found a few interesting rocks underneath Sea Cliff Bridge near Wollongong in Australia. There was a lot of coal in the area for context. I will attach some photos of the rocks I found, I'm particularly interested in the small white (quartz??) lines intersecting the black part of the stone. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Looks a lot like carbonized plant material. Hopefully, someone more with more familiarity with your area will see this and have a better idea of the types of fossils found there. @Paleoworld-101 Cheers. -Ken 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacTheFossilMan Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) This looks consistent with carbonised tree material from Allans Creek Formation in the Illawarra Coal Measures group, making it about 259.1 - 251.902mya (million years ago/old). The vast majority of plant material here is Glossopteris sp.. Edited June 27, 2022 by IsaacTheFossilMan 1 ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!
