This summer I was helping a youth group from church on a camp. The trip was to Kodiak Island for a week. Got lucky and was able to convince the group that a road trip to a distant beach was in order for a bit. Drive about 4 hours for a 2 hour beach stop. Unfortunately for me I was limited on time, didn't have the right equipment, and was in someone else's rig. So I wasn't able to really explore and collect much. But I brought home 2 nice chunks of matrix with lots of shells. The site has limited scientific printed information that I have located. it is Miocene in age. Photos of 1 block I carried out and 1 exposed sand dollar on a different block I brought home as well.

Hi All, I took a trip (I live just outside of Philly) down to Calvert Cliffs on the MD side to spend a couple days hunting. I was able to visit the VA side of the Calvert Formation back on Labor day, and was excited to see the MD cliffs. First day I spent all of my time at Matoaka Beach hunting solo. Tried to access another section of beach later that day, however it required hiking through some thick vegetation, and I was losing light, so I gave up. Second day I met up with the Delaware Valley Paleontology Society to visit a few sites with CHAPTours. Wound up visiting 3 different beaches, and finished off back at Matoaka (I didn't know we'd be going here otherwise I'd have picked a different beach the first day). Overall, I had pretty good outings both days. Surprisingly I didn't find a single shark tooth, but lots of amazingly preserved bivalves and gastropods. Some photos from the beach/cliffs from both days. From the top of the cliffs: Bivalve fossils were everywhere. Group shot with a sampling of finds.

Is this the inner whirl of an ammonite or something else? This was found in Northern Minnesota Coleraine Formation. Sorry limited photos as it was donated to the Hill Annex (mine) Palaeontology Project

I found this fossil in lo valdes, Chile.

Pretty sure this is both halves of the same specimen, they fit together perfectly. Berkley Co., SC

Would love help from middle Devonian shells. I know spiriferids are hard to ID but worth a shot asking experts!

This is a fossil my father found and gave to me when I was six or seven years old. That was over 46 years ago...does that make me a fossil? I think it's a Plaesiomys subquadrata, with a small trilobite on the bottom.

These are fossils from the early Campanian of northwestern New Mexico, collected on BLM-managed land as part of the Menefee Expedition. The Menefee Expedition, which has run yearly since 2011, is a multi-institutional effort combining the talents of the Southwest Paleontological Society, Western Science Center, Zuni Dinosaur Institute for Geosciences, and formerly the University of Pennsylvania, permitted under the Bureau of Land Management in New Mexico. Fossils collected as part of the Menefee Expedition are prepared and stored at the Western Science Center in Hemet, California. If you'd like to watch the day-by-day of the expedition, be sure to check out the Expedition Video logs on YouTube! Baenid turtle shell- my find! Dinosaur limb end- my find! Large croc tooth, likely Deinosuchus- volunteer find! Leaf and stem- my find! Gar scale- my find! Dinosaur tibia- volunteer find! Brachychampsa tooth- my find! Bivalve, which I think is a unionid- my find! Crocodilian tooth in matrix- my find! Finally, a dinosaur toe bone- volunteer find!

I am on vacation in SW Vermont.. Last evening, I had dinner with my niece and friend. She has an interest in fossils (I gave her many as presents and she has hunted the Peace River a couple of times.) A while ago, her friend was at a Flea Market and from a cardboard box labeled "New York", he got a number of rocks that contained fossils for her. That is all I know....and I am certainly no expert on fossils in rocks from the Northeast....

Looking for help identifying any of these fossilized shells and internal casts. All found in southeast Florida, Broward/ Miami-Dade counties [Pleistocene Miami Limestone/Oolite]. Maybe a few found more westward in the Tamiami Formation [Pliocene/ Miocene Limestone] Thanks. Fossil Shells.pdf

I found these Devonian bivalves (?) at the Milwaukee formation at estabrooke park in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I think the first one could be a bivalved arthropod like an ostracod and the second could be part of a brachiopod. Any help is appreciated! Thanks. Sorry for lack of scale! I just put one in my rockhounding bag.

Hello everyone, I'm happy to be back with one more of many questions I will have. This was part of the bins of rocks I inherited. I mentioned on my last post they came from my neighbor and family friend growing up and the man who sparked my interest in fossil science but did not reveal his identity out of respect for his surviving daughter but after speaking with her she said her dad would be honored and said absolutely. My neighbor growing up was Dallas Lemmon and he was a professor of geology at Western New Mexico University for many years and is the one who left me a few bins of his collection.

Hi all - I found this in a creek in Central Texas. Looks like a rudist to me. There’s a good amount of detail visible on it, so I was wondering if anyone might be able to ID it down to genus (or species)? Thanks so much!

Picked this up at a dry land site some time back and forgot about it. While going through my fossil boxes recently, I re-found it. It came out of the Tamiami Fm. near Sarasota with a lot of other Pliocene/Pleistocene material. There seemed to be some Miocene mixed in there as well, so I am not sure where to start with this one. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks!
