I have a Coprolites (Dinosaur Poo) Collection that I have Collected mostly from Nundle, NSW... I like the Different shapes it comes in..

Not really Fossils, but old enough to be..

LW...

You know, I never realized this was a thing.

I'm amazed yet trying to hold back my
Childish snickers..... heh poop :lol:

But seriously though, your collection is pretty sh!t :lol:

I kid I kid, no offense intended

AND, some of them still look fresh and smelly.

Thought I would share this fossil I picked up on a motorbike trip.
It come from a couple of hundred kms inland of the great Australian bight, nowhere near water but has a few nice shells to see.
Location was along the Trans Australian Railway line near Forrest, WA. There were lots of other fossils in the rocks but being on a motorbike space was for essentials only :lol:
If anyone can identify anything I wold be interested, to me its just a couple of sea shells

Looks related to Pectin, as in the Shell petrol sign

I'm a newbie here. I've been fascinated with rocks and fossils since childhood. I can't help but collect interesting looking rocks when I'm out exploring. Found a few amazing fossils on the weekend so decided to step it up a little and see what I can find out about them on the net. Got myself a fossicking licence and signed up here this morning.

Here's just a few photos of my finds. The large solo shell was found by a friend after I started showing them my finds. Dodgy cheap phone photos sorry. Didn't have my camera on me. Would LOVE to know what I was looking at.

600+m above sea level.
300+km from nearest coastline as the bird flies... except birds don't fly in straight lines that far, do they?
Private property. With permission. Left all in place.

I went to a garage sale about 3 weeks back and on walking up the driveway I noticed a tree-planter bag on the side of the drive and ignored it, wondered a little bit but continued on into the garage area, found some tools and wandered back out, went over to the bag and noticed it was full of fossils and druze, then a voice yelled out, "sorry, that has just been sold" as the proud owner was reversing his ute into the driveway. If only I had have looked at it when I first noticed it. Bumma!

Welcome Mr Tomorrow

Interesting rocks and I have but one question for you...

How did you get to Mars and back before us??? 8)

Other than that, I can't help. :8

 

[Dave79]

Afew nice imprints of shells and what looks like ginkgo leaves that saved an otherwise unproductive prospecting trip for gold today. At least the old river left me something interesting.

 

[WhiteyCQ]

. Just a few I have found over the years. The last one looks and feels like the belly of a lizard or croc

 

[user 4386]

I forgot you found that, very nice mate. Sure does make you wonder when you get seashell fossils at that altitude.

It was below high tide when the fossils were deposited.
