Cool Barb. I found some leaf fossils from the Pennsylvanian period (300 MYA) in coastal Rhode Island. They are in my garden bed......cool stuff. Most of our rocks around here are igneous....there are a few pockets of sedimentary rock.....not much.

found some leaf fossils

That is exciting.
Were you able to ID the species?

Yup, igneous rocks don't have a lot of fossils 😆 😆 😆 😆
unless of course it's Satan's dog 😆

Most of what used to be BC's sedimentary rocks/fossils (and topsoil for that matter) is now in Washington and Oregon States, thanks to the glaciers.
Damn!

Hi Barb,

I was able to ID the fossil leaves........forgot now but they look like mimosa leaves. I wish I could find more!

Cool!

Must be exciting to find a fossil.

Hey Barb,

today I took a photo of the 'fossil' I found, 300 MYO leaf. I got a few of these.

Super cool!

Fossils are all over the place here, but I just find animals. I'd love to come across something like that.

Hi Erik,

all I find are leaves.......I'd love to find animals!!....or should I say Dinosaurs!!

No dinosaurs. 🙁

We get shallow marine invertebrates. OK was at the northern edge of the sea way back when.
Most common are crinoids (echinoderms); next are bivalves ("clams").

Hi Erik,

I found some marine type fossils in Oklahoma too......along the Canadian River in eastern OK......limestone type rocks.

That's one gorgeous fossilized leaf!!!!! 😀
Does look like mimosa.
What a treasure.
