New Members dawgfan Posted June 19, 2016 New Members Share Posted June 19, 2016 Thinking back.... as far as my thoughts choose to entertain me. I have always been fascinated with fossils. i grew up in South Georgia (US) son of a peanut farmer. So my earliest fascination was with arrowheads and such that was left from the days when the Creek Nation as well as the Yamasee people and the Mississippian (mound builders) from the BC era. The only time i can remember finding fossils is when we you to go swimming at an abandoned lime stone quarry. Well enough of that... attached are some photos of rocks that are all over my property. I was hoping someone would look at them and let me know what they are and how can I extract? It might not be possible or worth my time for that matter. I'm looking forward to learning all that I can!!! Thanks, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The first is a fossil of fenestrate bryozoan. The others are probably fossils that I can't ID. It is worthwhile to look for more fossils. Exploring and learning about fossils is always worthwhile. Find a geology map of Georgia in order to find out what rocks are at your place. Then you can research online for fossils found in those rocks. Have fun. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

izak_ Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The 2nd two look like very weathered crinoid stem segments... not certain, but maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I agree with bryozoan, and probably crinoid columnal imprints. There is nothing to really extract from the items in the pictures provided. Check this map out . That should tell you the approximate era your finds are from. Regards, I agree with bryozoan, and probably crinoid columnal imprints.
