New Members Rlranta Posted March 9, 2015 New Members Share Posted March 9, 2015 These are some of the things I've collected over the years. I know one is coral, one is petrified wood, one is a jawbone with teeth. I have some volcanic glass with a round imprint (?) the big one has coprolite in the center. There is a Petosky stone, Michigan's state stone, and another bone piece I haven't identified. I'd love any help or information, and discussion on these fossils would be great. I'd also love to see pictures of your collections! I showed you mine . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Hello, and welcome to the Forum. Nice little collection. Thanks for posting it. Mine is located HERE. I am no help with the minerals, or jawbone, ... but your coral and petosky stone are possibly Hexagonaria, or Lithostrotionella. The round "imprint" in the volcanic glass is likely a vug or vessicle. Your "coprolite" looks to me like a mineral stain on sandstone. I don't think it is a coprolite. Coprolites usually vary in texture from the surrounding matrix. Welcome again.

Auspex Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Welcome aboard! I'm curious about this one: Is this what you referred to a a jawbone with teeth?

Fossildude19 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I took the liberty of enhancing and cropping the images of the jaw. Maybe someone will recognize it.
