3K-Shock & worm fossils - In 1932 R. S. Bassler the Head Curator of Geology Smithsonian Institution, USA wrote an excellent book called The Stratgraphy of the Central Bisin of Tennessee. On P. 215 he shows a picture of what he believes to be a worm "Scolihus columbina" found near Franklin, TN. I believe these are deconstructed material including fossils turned into bits and pieces and aligned with the shock directed energy. The substrate is highly altered into a fine flour as well which is too dense now to uniformly contain this crystalline material.
Check off Franklin, TN as containing highly shocked relics.
Shock fossil soup typical of Howell, TN. This specimen was about a half mile north.
Five miles south of Howell this specimen seems intact but weights about twice what you would expect. The contours also indicate previous liquid state.
Below is a typical specimen I find at many points around the crater. A highly shocked relic. By the way, why would little pieces of worm make so many well preserved fossils? Worms are soft bodied creatures and do not generally make fossils. Also this rock highly prized for mining to make construction material is metamorphic, not a usual fossil source.
​
Falsum Lichenas or false lichen Specimen a splatterform type. Found at Harms in south Lincoln County. Back side below. Flow cindering, it was moving fast while evaporating. In a pre impact geology world these effects might be explained as fossil made tracks. The side above is a heat or electromagnetic effect with mineral impacts like shot gun blast. The side below is venting.
The dark matrix. White inclusions or fossils in a dark matrix is common inside the crater. While the Chattanooga shale itself is dark with organic matter these have white fossils, quartz or chert.
Surface fossils shown above with a metamorphic matrix with iron. Not a sedimentary rock. Shock.
I keep collecting fossil specimens in the crater it is very important. It was what confused the last team of crater investigators. They were unable to understand the presence of the fossils. Take a look at this specimen from the Lake Logan shoreline. From a distance it looked unaltered. When magnified you can see it's surface has been repatterned and burned and iron blasted.
Not a fossil, is a shock metamorph, these are Septarian crystal types formed by the high shock pressure and heat. It is such a beautiful specimen; I think the green is shock olivine. Shock harmonic patterns are unable to hold size as they are a dispensing energy fractal.
Fossil in the Ft. Payne Chert found at Lake Logan, TN. Seems so ordinary but this is a shock fossil and quickly disappears below the surface and the surface contains a cobalt fractal fiber crystal. A late stage impact storm product. See below.
Fiber Crystal >>>>
Mohamed Bouzelfen collection- morocco. This is from a recent earth impact. those are not fossils but shells. The attached material is earth impact rubble. Close up below.
Shock fossil shown below from Lake Logan, TN - I thought this was a leaf. It was flat but that is from shock deformation. I wonder if it was a shell or fossil at the time of impact? Since it is in a chert matrix I think shell as that stuff was just sand before impact transformation. Take a look at high resolution magnification you get with a $1,400 lens.
Below is a highly shocked specimen containing coral fossils. The shock energy turns the rock into a slurry resembling wet cement or plaster including the fossils, which then separate off the rock, leaving only a shallow indention. The shock fossil "lay down effect" which flattens and widens the impressions.
Picture below is a close up of the fall off fossilized coral now a shock metamorphic fossil. Found mid Marshal County, TN.
Another aspect of the many impacts in Middle, TN is by removing so much of the upper strata with these impacts fossils of trilobites are found in the now upper strata (Ordovician). They are considered an occupant of older seas. Same with sharks.
This beautiful specimen has a coral type fossil metamorphic change. The heliolitid coral Protaraea richmondensis. Found at impact touch down point north of Petersburg, TN. This was a traveling explosion, the only one on the planet. While this location was vaporized and this specimen is likely a wash back, I find this same level of shock throughout the crater bottom.
The 2015 Howell Impact study group was confused by coral heads like this one shown below at the impact site. I found this one a half mile north of Howell. They reasoned it was strange to find a possible living species at an impact. They are in a previous to impact strata as you can see in the road cut at Pulaski, TN. They were broken out by the impact and found at Howell in the exposed breccia pipe.
Finding your way using fossils, good luck with that. The above mystery is a shocked bolder or even shocked mega clast has small venting holes is in a shock bleaching transition and shock can change fossils. So what strata it is and what fossil that is need to be considered relative to it's metamorphic state. Found east Fayetteville, TN. Orthoconic nautiloid
Fossils are not all that is left as a surface impression. Strata lines on the outside are all that remain on many shocked specimens inside the crater. (found Lake Logan, TN)
Meteor kills shark - This fossils specimen has what looks to be cobalt and iron as well as a common particle gum matrix and perhaps adhesion. Meteors are not shaping evolution. They are equal opportunity killers. Sharks are very hardy survivors. Besides being formed by large impacts the earths surface has been hit by 16,000. How would you construct an argument that meteors shaped evolution? How could anything evolve while playing dodge ball?
Ceylon Fossil? It is a vesicule study.
The specimen below from just over the crater wall on the Alabama Giles county TN border. It has impact meteor material pasted to it and is semi shocked.
<<<Meteor iron splatter.
The highly shocked specimen below is from the SW crater almost to Alabama. It may be coral.
Specimen from Lake Logan, TN SW crater below has a shell. The shock energy has flattened it with just the ridges remaining on the surface. The energy is gradient with a high exponential transforming effect.
Fossils as a transfer resonance process - Instant made fossil by mineral resonance wave. resonance tends to concentrate around the center of mass, and that is just what it did here. Really is the same process as making a shock agate.
Notice the grain structure in the chip also indicates a concentrating energy density pattern as does the circle pattern in lower right with a speck of meteor iron traveling through.
_JPG.jpg)
Impact explosion direct transfer fossil forming process. I believe this specimen to have been a live small clam at the time of the impact. It is in the chert instant nodule sand matrix. It has high meteor mineral content. It is greatly distorted and remains mostly as a surface flattened form.
As viewed from the other direction you can see how shallow the impressing remaining is.
Who needs to go to the moon when you live a crater? The specimen below just a few feet from my door has what I thought at first to be some kind of circle effect until I realized these are outline edges of the shells.
Shown above is a blast shadow post atomic bomb in Hiroshima. High heat explosion. Impact explosions are kinetic and carry pulverized debris on the shock wave making the impression shown above this picture as a Brachiopod shell surface.
A nice example of the Ordovician Cheirurid Trilobite Placoparina sedgwickii, collected from The Llanvirn series rocks of West Shropshire, England.
So why are so many minerals present in the matrix? Why would they be delineated? So you have an unmixed sediment with too many minerals for such a small area and a living form transformed intact without decay. Does anybody ever really review geology?
Also you find fossils with a circular encasement like this or sometimes as an enclosing sphere. Is that a resonate shock effect? That would also supply the mechanism for fossilization as the shock stream contains the impact particle storm.
Beautiful dragonfly fossil in iron and cobalt the signature elements of the early large earth impact bolides. An instant transfer process.
The inside of the specimen has a sand in motion mix. Turbulent deposition of fossil material while indicative of a burial event also tells the unreliability of relating fossil deposits to time.
Shock fossil jasper from HW 31 and Richland creek in Marshal county which is the NE crater floor. I only find shock fossil jasper or agates in very highly shocked zones like the crater floor. This must be a high shock condition. Notice the surface is all that remains to tell it was even a fossil. Shock is absorbed more in the center than surface since it is a wave phenomena. Although surfaces are how the mass cools and you will see surface cooling effects just depends on the conditions present and materials. These must have cooled slow but had to have sustained 50 + GPa. S5 dark melt veins. Very same shock fossils jasper I also found NE of Elkton, TN.
-
S1: completely unshocked (up to 5 GPa)
-
S2: very weakly shocked (5-10 GPa); uneven darkening of olivine as seen under polarized light; planar and irregular fractures (breaks in other than a natural cleavage plane.)
-
S3: weakly shocked (15-20 GPa); weak fractures in olivine seen under polarized light; dark shock veins and some melt pockets
-
S4: moderately shocked; (30-35 GPa); weak planar fracturing of olivine under polarized light; some pockets of melted material, dark interconnected shock veins
-
S5: strongly shocked (45-55 GPa); very strong planar fracturing and deformation features in olivine; alteration of plagioclase into maskelynite; formation of dark melt veins
-
S6: very strongly shocked (75-90 GPa); olivine recrystallizes, with local alteration to a mineral called ringwoodite and shock melting of plagioclase to a glass
Greater shock pressures will melt the rock, producing what is referred to as an "impact melt". These are seldom found on Earth, so they are very much sought after by collectors.
Specimen below from same location as above specimen is a different kind of coral and strata and has a coming and going almost erased away level of shock. I don't know that the shock was any higher than the one above just a different material receiving the shock.
Specimen below from same location shows chert fossil bed in mid metamorphic transformation.
Specimen below SW crater is more highly shocked than the above fossils.
What a specimen below. It shows the shrinking of the fossil with the impression left intact! Was an absorption difference of the shock energy between materials. Also the surface and the interior are not linearly changed. Strange? The impression has the shock fossil lay down effect flatting and widening it. Ordovician Catheys Formation.
Shown below is the Midlothian, TX swirl surprise. It may have been a bunch of fossils once. The Fort Worth area is the home of some large meteor crater.
Shocked Oyster Shell Fossils, Midlothian, TX, USA. I had previously thought this band of oyster shell fossils did not go as far west as Midlothian, but I was wrong.
Shown below is a shock fossil coral crispy. This is a very high shock condition. The surface is a state of "shock broccoli which is a cooling effect https://www.hillbillyu.com/shock-brocolli-fiber-crystal
Specimen below found a few feet away from the shock crispy in south Lake Logan ditch just above Silurian strata. This one is in a multiple state of metamorphism (multimorphic).
Specimen below is from Listuguj, Quebec. Southern Gaspé coast Canada. Perhaps a relic from Sudbury impact but so many impacts are not as yet discovered even in Canada which is the unproductive governing authority on such matters. After consideration I think this may be "shell shock." A shock altered fossil shell, hence the common symmetry around a joint. You can also see the blue and red inclusions which are from the meteor metals.
Now this is different. I picked up this section of Bentonite slab out of Indian Creek near Bryson, TN. While Bentonite ash can be from volcanoes or impact there are no volcano's within this region. It contains a shell fossil. I scratched it to see if it was Bentonite, well it is calcium as you can see. This represents a buried life form at the time of the Middle, TN Basin Buster Impact or an ash fall back into the crater from the Frankewing, TN Impact? This strata is uncovered in the subsequent Frankewing, TN Impact. While this would be a sedimentary process it was quick as you can see the whole shell is covered. That is important because it is conjectured that the ash layer from large impact goes into the atmosphere before falling back down as with Chicxulub. Not always and the impact was just as large. Also notice that the small white particles are distributed throughout. This means that the ash fall was concurrent with the shock particle storm. Note: This specimen was found in a creek and when left out in the sun fell apart. It is true calcium Bentonite which swells when wet. So ever since the early Mississippian period this specimen has been wet.
Fossil >>>>>>
William Smith based fossil time versus Pompei time. William Smith was the self taught engineer and geologist who invented dating by fossil. In this case since fossils can be around for so very long you have dating by event like at Pompei where the volcanic ash falls preserving a specific moment.
Five days in the sun and it turns back into ash. So this has been wet all that time in the creek where I found it or in a well preserved strata.
Data Mining this old report from the 60's. Regional Geologic Implications of the Gravity and Magnetic Fields of a Part of Eastern Tennessee and Southern Kentucky By JOEL S. WATKINS GEOPHYSICAL FIELD INVESTIGATIONS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 516-A Interpretation of aeromagnetic and gravity anomalies in terms of fault tectonics, basement rock units, and regional geology ' UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON 1964 On page A3 "At least 15 or more bentonite beds occur within Ordovician limestone units (Fox and Grant, 1944; Rodgers, 1952; Wilson, 1949), and one bed occurs in the Chattanooga Shale (Hass, 1948). The source of the bentonite has not been found. Since impact events are many times more common as you can verify on the moon most if not all of the 15 or more bentonite ash beds are impact events. The Chicxulub Impact distributed it's ash layer around the world. So some of these ash layers are not local and one is Chicxulub. Beyond that some impacts cause earth crust breaks as with Hot Springs, Arkansas which has left a volcanic pipe but does not have an earthquake edge i. e. a non tectonic crust break.

During recent stratigraphic work on the Chattanooga shale of the eastern Highland Rim of Tennessee a thin bed of bentonite was recognized in the Upper Devonian part of that formation. This bentonite, which averages one-tenth of a foot in thickness and resembles the Ordovician bentonites, is a singular bed and, as such, is an excellent stratigraphic datum. Its present extent is not known; presumably it is present over more than 3,000 square miles of east-central Tennessee for it has been seen from the Flynns Lick area north of Double Springs to the vicinity of Shelbyville—a distance of over 80 miles...
So here it is after the water has left the Bentonite. Some of the calcium shells and also the ubiquitous micro particle storm even in the ash layer. Widely dispersed and not in connecting patterns. The ash layer is a heat event in the impact sequence. Were these organisms alive at the time of impact? Yes, they were burned in place like looking at a newpaper or magazine that has been burned and you can still read it, but it will crumble when touched as this specimen did.
Here is the one I needed. A circle resonate fractal. Notice how the top half is still forming out of constellationing particles.
Shown above is a fossil. Chain Coral. It is common to the giant Michigan Crater area. Notice how the nano iron is in the matrix as a shock transfer, instant made.

Halysites (fossil coral) (Brassfield Formation, Lower Silurian; Fairborn, Ohio, USA) Halysites sp. - fossil coral from the Silurian of Ohio, USA. (public display, Geology Department, Wittenberg University, Springfield, Ohio, USA)
Halysitids are a group of extinct, colonial corals. They are readily identifiable - their corallites are linked end-to-end in a distinctive pattern resembling chains (hence the common name “chain corals”). Halysitids are one of the several families of Paleozoic tabulate corals. They were an important reef-building component in the Silurian throughout the world. They occur in shallow-water marine carbonate facies.
Classification: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Tabulata, Halysitidae
Stratigraphy: Brassfield Formation, Llandoverian Series, Lower Silurian
Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site at or near the town of Fairborn, Ohio, USA (possibly from Oakes Quarry, east of the town of Fairborn, northwestern Greene County, western Ohio, USA; 39° 48' 47.75" North latitude, 83° 59' 01.50" West longitude)
Notice how similar the Circle Resonate Fractal is to this specimen I found here at Lake Logan, TN.
Shown above is petrified wood from Indonesia for sale by M Fahri Setiawan. Indonesia is a high tektite field area and somewhere in the area was a large earth impact that made them.
​
This specimen retains ring structure.
A pretty art specimen from Arizona, a petrified tree stump. It is a form between states. High shock which is melting the shock common particle storm granular Turing Pattern Constellationing with mixed minerals. But in this case a shock density effect where the shock gradient is doing a resonant separation of materials agate like but not so delineated. A shock fossil. The shock particle storm is present on the outside but the former fossil with tree rings is shock metamorphic now and also has a mineral particle storm that has gone through it.
​Mineral soup theory of quick fossilization - Why do so many fossils define themselves in iron or multi metamorphic minerals? Where did the minerals come from. The non impact theory says that these minerals came up through the earth's crust in a toxic mineral sea and that provided the context for the many scattered mineral deposits. This is called the Mississippi Valley Type or MVT. MVT is no explanation for why so many different minerals would appear in a small space or why the earth does not show any tectonic confirmations of this theory. Impact however explains all the environmental factors. Pressure burial, many minerals, metamorphic context, specific locale, and high variation in impact related fossil forms.

Shock ovals and arcs - I call these School Fossils. They have been shocked to a slurry inside and all that is left is the outline of them. The bolder is so highly shocked they are almost gone. It is from Pearl City which is near the Elk River. Since the river bottom area is following the lowest land form you are usually in a crater bottom area.
This is a shock form >>>>
Specimen bolder above is from SE Missouri, USA the strange patterns including large fractal are likely petroglyphs on impact stress forms including fractal energy dispersion. It appears to have trace cobalt. A Shock Petroglyph. Produced by rubbing. The surface must have deepened some by rain dissolving leaving the cobalt inclusion projecting out.

Another bolder at Pearl City, TN. This one is resolving the stress in a liquid state absorbing the fossils and receiving a quartz and iron hyper velocity plasma fractal inclusions. This is called Shock Hieroglyphs. Certainly over 60 GPa.
Specimen above from Lake Logan, TN. It is not a fossil it is trying for form a shock agate. The center left is a coning wave with step function. Many impact effects are mistaken for fossils.
Very rare effect. This is coral at the very edge of the impact bottom. It has only partial dark matrix. I saw a lot of this coral in this creek bottom near Pearl City, TN but only two specimens with the dark matrix.
<<<< Scalloped Shell edge
Now here is a good find. A high calcite impactite with a scalloped shell edge.
Fossil process - Covered in mud and barnacles. Mohamed Bouzelfen collection Morocco.
Shell assemblage impact sequence. It has a nano mineral patina when magnified. Lower section has caught "round impactites." It has fractal surface energy dispersion patterns. The construction appears to be a granular metamorphic consistent with a large impact. It was found at the Badlands off Anza Borrego.
The striations are too close for a fish (shown left). The impression does not resemble any known leaf. The matrix is metamorphic with metal patina. Some striations break in off center shifts. It is too consistent for any know impact shock form I have ever seen.
Shown below from Troy, NC, USA is a resonance pattern around the whole mass? The wing effect is a type of the eyelash effect (shown right)? See the white linear constellationing along it's edge? Iron inclusions, stress breakup of the energy as it widens along the striation function. Also note the Fe3O4 black iron oxide granular crystals collecting in the groove areas. A type of petroglyph?
Swiss researcher has also noted a confluence between prehistoric settlements and craters. https://greaa.ch/ricerca.php
Specimen below with classic "eyelash effect."
Progressive Wave Septarian - While some corals and biological forms make this structure it came from my yard here in the crater and is so iron impacted, a splatter form. Is such fine detail for a harmonic effect however.
_JPG.jpg)
Shock Fossil Fractal - I think it may be some type of coral in the center. Besides that there seems to be fractals being made out of the shock particle storm, all those little white dots.
_JPG.jpg)
Shocked Fossil Figure - See the bird or otter head figure made of shock altered shells. These two shots above came from a Shocked Septarian Shell Assemblage Mega Clast from my neighbor's yard here at Lake Logan, TN. The entire mega clast shown below.
More about evolution. Darwin believed that the "fossil record" would vindicate his theory. The fossil record is not a record of time but events. The burial of life forms by some big lateral push wave of sediment. If you observe a sea creature decay it will not make a fossil. To make a fossil you need a large mass of sediment to cover it quickly thereby eliminating the microbes and scavengers. Sown here is a lobster fossil from Ontario, Canada. A big crater impact zone. And what do you see? A fleshy fresh looking lobster without decay. Proves impact not evolution. The fossil process it's self is anti evolution. To have evolution the supposition is the long constant condition for a random positive mutation. But what we have is random impacts disrupting the constant environment causing species extinction.
Inclusion body >>>>
Coral Fossil? - Pattern distortion makes this specimen a coral without good centers. And then there are those remaining inclusion bodies in the upper right. And why would the pattern disappear under the thin white crust? Corals retain that structure throughout.
Shown above is the famous "bird feet of Brazil" impression. A new article says a local Brazil impact cause a major extinction at this period. They would be right about that, but the fossils themselves are found in an extensive basin with no credible explanation for it's existence. The depressions are explained as rain drops.
So the depressions are not rain drops as they are too large and do not resemble rain impressions. The entire structure is made of a shock particle storm surface. It has fractal like cracks. It appears to have nano iron mist. It is a hardened cast impression which survived without modification as would mud.
The surface was made shock metamorphic just after this impression was made therefore preserving it . A fossil impression's existence is not preserved as explained in the geology literature and impact and fossils are often relatable.
Fossil or Pattern Harmonic? Pattern harmonics cannot hold pattern size as they are a dissipating fractal type energy form. The specimen above was collected by Anthony Leong at Ft. Drum Crystal Mine in Okeechobee, FL. USA It is a coral type. But that does not mean they are not shock modified. Take a look at the specimen below which is slightly shock modified from Nashville, TN area.
Many fossils will have a shock particle storm surface >>>>

Spanish Art deco, fossils or resonate designs? SW Wisconsin - The fe3o4 matrix is indicative of impact. Some of the figures are broken which is indicative of a feature already formed. the circles have very crisp edges which is a specific harmonic or a fossil. and then there are the unformed feature inclusions which is more of a chaos form. a challenging inconclusive but the dark matrix and location favor impact.

From Southern California, crowd source identified as fossil wood. Shock made crater flow with quartz, trace iron and ash. Lots of fossil trees do not have this complex grain structure. The knots would be protrusions rather than indentions. Striations are a physics of shock distance ending so this specimen would be some distance from the center of impact as the pressure wave decreased.
From India, crowd source identified as stromatolite fossils. Stromatolite fossils would usually make a fractal like repetition. These are inclusions with pebble into water wave ripples surrounding. Complex solid and plasma with instant cooling leaving the pattern. You can also see the iron as a mist coating which would be the last part of this impact process.
Worlds or out of this world's most famous fossil wood specimen.
Sown above is a fossil tree from Indonesia. So what is the fossil process really? Was this a fossil then hit by meteor transfer blast? Was it a live tree hit by all that meteor metal in hot nano form? This is important because evolution is based on the supposition that fossils are made by slow mineral transfer which the fossil record does not support upon any critical examination. Take a look yourself does this look like a slow burial mineral deposit transfer? Why so many minerals in so small a space?
Sheri Cronin found this specimen in Northern California. Fossil? The matrix is metamorphic even mega clast looking. A surface cooling effect?

Not sure what I found . On the side
Of the mountain in Tennessee US-129 . Just for fun
So what does a fossil record actually record? Things that get buried. As I live in Tennessee and have collected fossils here for half a century I can tell you:
1. Shells, Tennessee has many fossil shells. They did not all die of old age. Most appear to have been suddenly buried. I have found tiny shell clams as small as 1/16 inch which certainly did not die of old age. Clam found to be over 500 years old - Phys.org
So since clams can live so much longer you would also expect to find a lot of them in fossil burial. Statistically over represented.
2. Assemblages, pile ups of burial rubble fossils. You often find masses of bits and broken pile ups of fossils. It looks like the picture above.
3. Shock altered specimens
4. Shells burned to ash in bentonite.
The so called fossil record does not record life in its habitat but rubbish heaps from some event that mashed them into a burial pile which facilitated fossilization.
Impact altered. Shock can turn fossils into puddles. It also has nano iron a high pulverization state. Tiny voids/vesicles in center with the iron layering (two states Fe3O4 & Fe2O3) which is another alteration. This level of shock would indicate it was an edge effect. Perhaps 20 GPa. Cool rock, the shock burger. NE Pennsylvania, USA Imur Huckleberry
A half block away the strata goes from late Devonian to Silurian. Also this specimen is rounded by weathering. So time goes from Silurian to ? Is this a roll up of fossils or living shells translated to fossils by the Silurian large impact? While this specimen is very heavy it has vugs of non compression.
This looks more like a chart of the development of information as topics with so many discrete lines.
Cambrian period had large impacts. This would shift vast amounts of sediment. It takes a quick burial event to make good fossils. Otherwise they would decay. The DNA content of any of these specimens would be as high as a smart phone program code. So the Cambrian explosion is a burial explosion of complex life forms. Impact has nothing to do with survival of the fittest, just the fortunate. Impact accretion is the major geomorphology of the planets. And of course what are the odds earth has water and all the other factors necessary for life?
Notice how the bottom has cleavage coning. This was shock buried from a large earth impact.

Fantastic, Fabulous Fossil Friday
I have never seen any crinoid so nicely preserved.
This crinoid looks almost as in life position.
This crinoid just came out of the prep lab - I did not prep it - and it is beyond words.
Crinoids are related to modern day starfish, they are echinoderms. Many call them sea lilies but they are in fact animals.
They lived and grew in the ancient shallow salt water tropical seas and were attached to the sea floor and substrate by means of a holdfast.
It had a stalk made up of disk-shaped segments with a calyx at the top with feathered arms radiating from the calyx. Each arm had small pinnules that would capture planktonic food particles and convey them to the mouth.
When a crinoid died, all the parts would disarticulate, fall apart. It is rare to see a complete crinoid.
This to me is BEYOND rare. I HAVE NEVER seen anything like this. This one is preserved in nearly or as close as in life position. The holdfast is missing, but look at this magnificent piece.
There is another echinoderm beneath it as well.

Shown above is thought to be a fossil coral agate from Florida. While Florida does have lots of marine life fossils this is not one. This is a shock made specimen. The bubble you see are high heat up to 5,000 degrees F. The back side has cell structures that make people think coral but this is a high shock pattern associated with granular particle crystallization. What really gives it away however is the small impact spheres that pelted this surface. Little iron pellets from the meteor impact blast.

Shown below is Carlsbad Canyon Cave New Mexico, USA. It is a good example of phenomena overlap. On a macro scale it has botryoidal round crystal structures too. It makes a banded side but is not a fossil or agate.

Difflugia. Considered to be 750 million years old in the fossil record. An ameba that builds a shell of local materials. Can hibernate. It is essentially a nano bot which scientist are working to build. So how could something with so much programed information occur in the origin of life period?
An iPhone does not adapt, it does evolve through design. These high program nano organisms have very high programing. It is encoded by ....a designer. There has never been an observed species evolvement but countless extinctions. This is in keeping with physics observation that by it's self things will lose useful complexity.
Found in China, the five eyed shrimp of the Cambrian half billion year old period. Said to be the mission link because it was so multi featured. Genetic encoding is very diverse as being understood in modern times but not self evolving, diverse encoded. A Swiss Army knife does not mean knives self evolve into tool boxes.
Fossil Murder - Collinwood, TN. Shock metamorphic with the fossil distortions and the red iron streaks from the impact meteor. Were the shell creatures alive when it hit? You got to wonder.
North of Ethridge, TN. The dark matrix Fe3O4 from the Frankewing, TN Impact blast. Most of the fossils are solid indicating they were alive. Also they are of a diverse age/size indicating this was not a die off grave yard. Shock with micro silica instant transition.
This is rare. It is a fossil not firmly attached to an ash matrix. It was found on the back side of the crater wall NW Giles County, TN from the Frankewing, TN Impact.
I like this fossil it looks surreal. It is clearly in an impact explosion matrix and has that shock white color and the particle crystal habit of micro formation. Impact instant made gastropod shell.

Fossilizing event - This turtle got flattened while swimming.
Statistically you are much more likely to be found a living fossil if you dwell on the deep ocean floor to start with.

This specimen I found in Dog Creek, Wayne County, TN. Location and event would place it as made in the Frankewing, TN Impact. It would be an edge effect. A dendrite fractal pattern. Not a fossil. Notice the rare presentation of the breccia bit inclusion in the coral fossil. Were they fossilized together or did the inclusion arrive into a fossil already present?

Just look at this beautiful detail. This is calcium bentonite ash with trace iron from the Frankewing, TN Impact as seen near Bryson, TN. These fossils were alive at the time of the impact blast and were instantly incinerated. They exist only wet and this specimen is in a creek. If dry it turns to clay dust. This phenomena is quite rare as ash is very brittle with these specimens in a water depression that the shock wave passed over but the residual heat of the explosion blast plasma core and transfer heat to the rocks and strata cooked the water off and the specimens to ash. The red is nano iron that falls back later as a mist from the evaporation center zone of the impact.
bentonite fossil from Channing, TX only 3 million year old as opposed to the Bryson, TN specimen above at about 300. Also this specimen is stable in this Fullers Earth type bentonite. The Bryson ash is not. If it dries the fossil flakes away as the whole rocks goes to powder. Specimen from the University of TX at Austin Museum.
Flattened fossil effect. They even fade away. Wayne county, TN. The blace and red lines are a type of imprinting discharge from the charged ash and nano iron turbulence in the explosion wave. While you can have deteriorating fade away it will not be as smooth as this. This is a melting into a common form with only the surface remaining as an edge effect of the plasma made rock.

So why would you have nano iron for replacement? Why did the tree not decay? So if the copper was a liquid solution that is toxic and the tree is living and is no reason for association of living tree and toxic waste pool except, sudden impact.
This is a very rare fractal/dendrite or fossil? Tapering stem with point. Talkeetna, Alaska by Mark Lee. It is a fossil palm frond. So why would Alaska be so warm? Why would an immature plant be fossilized? Instant fossilization from the big Aleutian Impact that made the Island crater circle ring.
An Argentine farmer found this 20,000-year-old family of Giant Armadillos (Glyptodon) buried near a river. They were all looking in the same direction, as if they were walking towards something, the largest being the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, it is estimated that they weighed around 2 tons. They were all looking in the same direction because they were buried instantly.

Petrified wood going straight though the stone: found on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California.
Petrified and captured in a flow metamorphic. The nano minerals come from the impact pulverization. Does impact fossilization require a liquid media? Probably not as the world becomes liquid in the impact shock. This is also capable of a fast physics not possible in the ordinary world because of so much power.

Very Very Rare. This is a shock made clast paper thin. Made as a shock liquid with instant fossils most young turned to fossils in the shock pressure nano bit transfer, a late Devonian mix, a shock made Chattanooga Shale. The Chattanooga Shale comprises many altered configurations and defines the Howell Impact Strata limits. The Chattanooga Shale limit is north Middle, TN. Attempts to construct it farther north are misguided and are connecting a different event strata.

Stigmaria collection of Eric Webb of Robbins, TN. Stigmaria is a form taxon for common fossils found in Carboniferous rocks.[1] They represent the underground rooting structures of coal forest lycopsid trees such as Sigillaria and Lepidodendron. These swamp forest trees grew to 50 meters and were anchored by an extensive network of branching underground structures with "rootlets" attached to them. Analysis of the morphology and anatomy of these stigmarian systems suggests they were shoot-like and so they are called rhizomes or rhizophores. The stigmarian rhizomes are typically covered with a spiral pattern of circular scars where "rootlets" were attached. Since the stigmarian systems are shoot-like, these "rootlets" may be modified leaves, adapted to serve the function of roots. However, some paleontologists argue that the "rootlets" were true roots, with a complex branching structure and root hairs, comparable to the roots of the closest living relative of Lepidodendron, the quillworts (genus Isoetes)
I am not sure this is a fossil. I think it could be a starburst fulgurite with ball lightning forms as well. While fulgurite is a term people may or may not be familiar with volcanoes and impact storms also produce prodigious amounts of electricity. What is the best argument for fossil is the repeating figures. The separating line between a physics form and a fossils form is with the degree of complexity. At some point the forms illustrate information. https://www.reearth.co.uk/.../world-s-oldest-fossilised...
This is called "shock white." This is an instant made fossil process where the high energy impact shock wave burns and fossilizes removing impurities and compressing it metamorphic and dense. Specimen collected in East Tennessee by: Pamela Schadenfreude

Sand to instant rock? This footprint would degrade if not captured instantly. What was he running from? Surface mosaic high heat cracking. Particle constellationing matrix. Tiny impact spheres along the line of 4th toe and above. Exposure dating is very difficult. The subsequent events distort the evidence. His name was Mick and he was on a walk a bout. That is the kind of stuff I often read in fossils books.
21,000-23,000 years old human footprints in White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA.
Let me clue you in on freezing a surface impression. It does not happen by slow sedimentation. This is an instant made shock floor surface and the individuals were vaporized. The red is nano iron from the atomized impacting bolide. The granular grain structure is a shock made form. Was this where they were standing no. It is where a family was. Is it the specified age? Not likely. The whole concept of geology age is without merit. This was the last major geological event since it is a surface exposure or close to that. When was the Americas's first occupied with humans? Well theses and other finds are relatively recent but the finding of fossils is not statistically a population study. It is the finding of catastrophic event which is more random. A sudden push of covering material is a good way to make fossils and you find a lot of shallow sea fossils as an event driven mechanism.

Hello all! Found this while wading in the creek in North East Alabama. Any ideas on what it could be?
Random cell structure with not enclosed composition therefore not bone fossil. You have to magnify it to see. So what is it? This is an impact nodule, shock altered sand/silica/iron etc melted into a rock that goes flying outward from a large earth impact. The granular particle construction matrix is the tiny pulverized "common particle" of the impact storm fused together. The holes are impalements while it was flying outward. So what impact is it from? Found on surface is likely the instant concretions called Ft. Payne chert from the Howell, TN impact. This is the critical magnification.
Bone fossil construction can be a subtle characterization. These are suspect samples as the fossil process is such an imperfect transfer agency.

I am restarting this discussion here with my new counter thesis called "fractal logic." A complex physics form? Not really. This was found at Medicine Hat which is next to a Dinosaur Fossil Park and just a few miles from a crater called Bow City. While this species may be rare it is similar to sea anemone, and Pteridinium. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_City_crater, and much larger craters i.e. a quick burial impact fossil.

I think it is new phylum. I also use the ruling out thesis principle to eliminate it as a "shatter cone." Fossils versus physics theory divides multiple overlapping purposeful physics into the too teleological therefore information.
Octagon fossil unknown type found Nashville, TN. A fast formed impact made fossil from the Middle, TN Basin Buster Impact which made the Highland Rims as crater walls. Has fiber crystal shown below. Fiber crystals are a difficult to achieve physics, a micro melted thin quartz thread in this case. They are the same as Pele Hair as found in Hawaii volcano. You can see many more examples on the second half of this page: 2H: Shock Broccoli & Fiber Crystals | mysite (hillbillyu.com)
Differential fiber crystal theory. This example is a fiber crystal made in place rather than the made in blast type which lands on surface. This void expansion allowed for the same fiber physics to occur.
Thanks for contacting us about this find and sending the photo. According to the Geologic Map and Mineral Resources Summary of the Nashville West Quadrangle (Wilson and Fullerton, 1966), the bedrock geology at that location is the Middle Ordovician Leipers-Catheys Formation. The geologic map can be viewed on the USGS National Geologic Map Database website https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/mapview/?center=-86.812,36.188&zoom=13.
My initial interpretation is that it is an Echinoderm; in particular the calyx of a crinoid, or maybe a blastoid. However I have not been able to find a reference/image of one that is clearly 8-sided. The closest 8-sided example that I have found is the Echinoderm Cystoid Caryocrinites. “The primitive stemmed echinoderms called cystoids are a diversified group… The cystoids occur chiefly in lower Paleozoic deposits, … The group ranges from Middle Ordovician to Upper Devonian.” Based on that information, the timing is right. Attached is a PDF file containing a drawing of Caryocrinites, which if you look closely appears to be somewhat 8-sided.
I may be way off the mark, unfortunately that is the best I can do.

Sand shock transfer principle - Note the transition of the sand into a solid as it progresses from the soft tissue to tooth. The tooth survives this process because it was so much harder like the bones so was able to stall the energy enough to process into a form. This is a shock made fossil from a large earth impact that occurred one day in the life of this creature.

Shock made mineral transfer from left to right. The plant delayed the impact storm long enough for the heaver nano iron particles to accumulate. The matrix itself is a shock geometric.

This is funny, the latest fossil man discovery. This is an impact event burial complete with shock constellationing. They have dated the three people buried to different time periods and differing people, not realizing any shock distortion possibilities. There is a meteor crater nearby somewhere. The smaller of the craters shown below is the likely suspect. It hit into a karst crater wall. See how the faults are discontinuous along this line. It is also of a size to be a million years old.
The skull, which has been dubbed the “Yunxian Man,” was identified has having belonged to an archaic hominin known as Homo erectus , which first appeared on the earth about two million years ago.
Although the skull has not yet been completely unearthed, the parts that have been exposed, such as the frontal bone, eye sockets, left cheekbone, and temporal bone, show that the structure of the skull is more or less complete.
Although it is still unknown how Homo erectus and later Homo sapiens are related, this finding adds to our understanding how modern humans first appeared in East Asia.
The Xuetangliangzi site is well-known for the historic 1989 and 1990 finds of two hominid craniums. Scientists have dubbed the two relics, which date to between 800,000 and 1.1 million years ago, the No. 1 and No. 2 skulls of Yunxian Man.
Yunxian county was the previous name for the Yunyang district. The two fossils were discovered to be significantly distorted, though, when they were discovered.
There are no visible deformations in the current fossil, No 3. It is in excellent shape and demonstrates the traits of Homo erectus.
The third skull was located around 35 meters apart from the first two and was buried about 62 centimeters below the present ground level.
Their buried settings are comparable, as are the different kinds of other animal bones and lithic artifacts that have been discovered.

Notice the shift to the iron oxides in the denser teeth sections. This would be a resonate transfer mechanism. This could go back to the age of impacts, Devonian and before. So how far back in time does this species go? The fossilization mechanism is key here. While strata dating is problematic as impacts are rearranging the earth's crustal surface and you cannot associate this specimen with a location as it has washed down the idea that the earth contained mostly marine fossils int the early periods is statistically unfounded. That would imply you are getting a true cross section from fossil time. Land creatures are just less likely to be in a quick non decay high pressure burial. This specimen could not be an artifact of the Silurian Extinction Type 2 subduction that made the New Madris fault and pushed up the southern Appalachians that was too big. The later smaller type 3 explosion impacts of the Devonian are likely.
The classic shock fossil fade. Is directly related to the resonate energy which collects around the center of mass. Lake Logan, TN (Howell, TN Impact Structure) May 1 2023.
Resonate damping void. You can see how the melting is shifted left because the void is acting as a negative to the harmonic build. So the fossil is present closer to the hole.
Yes, nice fossil. That is an outline capture as a shock fossil. The matrix is shock white. The surface has sheet splatter with evaporative circles. Dec. 10, 2023.

Just wanted to share this is picture, as to the clarity of some *very* ancient fossils.
"30 Million-year-old Praying Mantis is preserved in amber found in Dominican Republic. The piece in question is dated to the Oligocene period, placing it anywhere from about 23 million to 33.9 million years old. The amber itself derives from the extinct Hymenaea protera, a prehistoric leguminous tree. Most amber found in Central and South America comes from its resin. Amber from the Dominican Republic is known as Dominican resin, which is noted for its clarity and a high number of inclusions.

Walcott, 1896
Brooksella is an enigmatic star-shaped Cambrian fossil found in the Conasauga Formation of Alabama and Georgia.[1] These fossils are often referred to as "star-cobbles" for their distinct lobate appearance, generally with 6 or more lobes.
Brooksella was first described in 1896 by Charles Doolittle Walcott, who believed them to be medusoid body fossils of cnidarians.[2][3] Later researchers have offered other explanations, from diagenetic gas bubbles to burrow traces. The most accepted identity is that they are hexactinellid sponges, based on observed spicules, ostia, and internal structure.[1] In 2023, a group of researchers suggested that Brooksella is a pseudofossil, finding no support for previous interpretations of it as a sponge or a trace fossil.
Impactite, sine wave function shatter cone with noise, iron from meteor/bolide and crossing wave function, printed in impact ash/shale by high impact pressure. Rare and valuable, $1,000. So why not "plate tectonics?" Is too small for a macro physics to make this tiny rhythmic detail. Same is true for the iron which would be in much higher concentration as an earth macro feature. Also surface specimens are not likely macro earth tectonic location. While based on Mars, the Moon etc. the average US state would have 2 to 4 thousand surface impact craters of a mile diameter or greater you can often find your crater with a USGS geology anomaly map which is like an x-ray picture of the earth. So let me save you the trouble and draw them in for you, see attached. So why not a tree fossil? It has a sub developed coning function within the coning not a tree grain I am familiar with. It also has a bar type inclusion feature (blast random impact geometric.) While a love for impact phenomenon is my strength it is also my weakness. I cannot rule out a type of wood grain structure. I mean who has seen all of them? In any event it was made as an ash fossil from the impact event if it is. My first job at age 15 was refinishing furniture at a home based antique store on the next street and determining what type of wood was a high skill. June 2, 2024.

39 miles NW of Wichita, area known for salt deposits. Now I have found shells at the beach that looked about this old. So how long ago was Kansas part of an inland ocean? Wichita is 1299 feet above present sea level. So in the recent past the ocean was over 1,000 ft above its present level. But the Great Salt Lake is over 4,000 feet above the present sea level. Now I am thinking global flood.

Apr 1, 2000 · Scientists have uncovered evidence that 7,500 years ago, the Mediterranean water roared into the Black Sea, creating a global flood. The Black Sea is a little over 1,000 feet above present sea level. So now we have a date when Wichita was covered, just 7, 500 years ago.

The freshwater alligator snapping turtle was once known to be found in this area and is now being reintroduced. So we know that after the inland ocean retreated the habitat went freshwater drainage to the now Gulf of Mexico. This kind of unknow time habitat change is what you also see with meteor craters. In Tn and AL craters are green but that does not necessarily mean a very long time. June 16, 2024.
