New Members Spider8ait94 Posted February 15 New Members Share Posted February 15 I was given these many years ago by a relative so i unfortunately dont have the location they were found but there is a good chance it was in Australia. I'm hoping someone can help me ID just what is i them. I've put my thoughts for each here under the image names. Fossil 1: Some sort of brachiopod? Fossil Imprints 2: I know its leaves so im just wondering if anyone knows what species they came from? Fossil 3: Possibly some sort of shell? Fossil 4: Incredibly light weight and almost feels chalky. Never been sure whether the fossil in the stone is a plant like some sort of fern or fishbones? Fossil Imprint 5: Obviously a shell. Imprint from an Ammonite or some other shelled creature? Fossil Imprints 6: This is in a big chunk of rock that also features leaf imprints. Same type of stome as Fossil Imprints 2 and from the same location I'd assume. Is this fish skin or something else? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It would be much better to put each description or suggestion under each of the photos concerned because here we are forced to constantly scroll vertically to check your information, it is not practical at all Coco ---------------------- OUTIL POUR MESURER VOS FOSSILES : ici Pareidolia : here Ma bibliothèque PDF 1 (Poissons et sélaciens récents & fossiles) : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 2 (Animaux vivants - sans poissons ni sélaciens) : ici Mâchoires sélaciennes récentes : ici Hétérodontiques et sélaciens : ici Oeufs sélaciens récents : ici Otolithes de poissons récents ! ici Un Greg...

westcoast Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Nice collection, could you provide more images from different angles of fossil 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Without locations, these will be difficult to ID to species or even genus level. I've placed your descriptions above each item, and numbered them accordingly. (This is the format you should follow.) 1 - Brachiopod - maybe a Rhynconellid, maybe a pentamerid? 2 - Maybe ginko leaves??? 3 - Looks like a productid brachiopod to me. 4 - Fish bones 5 - Gastropod imprint. 6 - ???

rodrex Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The snail is likely a Keeneia from the Sydney Basin, The fish is murray cod.. A very fragile chalk fossil of a fresh water fish. It is aged about 20 million years and was found in the locality of a chalk mine at Bugaldie in New South Wales (near Coonabarrabran). I hope this helps Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helps Rodney Thankyou for this. I think you’re right with the snail as it looks like the same structure and the locations you’ve mentioned for the fish fossil makes sense as I do have some relatives in coonabarrabran/binnaway and I think that one did come from those relatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
