  1. Some roadside Miocene fossils found in 2020 in Topanga Canyon formation in the Santa Monica Mountains of Southern California. Large Olive Snail, Clam, and probably Turritella temblorensis. Useful info on the area: https://www.topangahistoricalsociety.org/archive/document/138
  2. Hi everyone this is matt again take a look at this very nice ammonite I bought at the hamburg fossil and gem show in hamburg N.Y. here is a photo

    Clam fossil?

    I found this on a sand bar off the coast of Florida. I think it’s a clam fossil. However, I haven’t found any that look similar to it online. It’s very smooth and has multiple colors. Does anyone have any more information about this type of fossil. Thank you.

    Clam Fossil Identification

    Found this at Skiatook lake in Oklahoma for a day trip. I’ve had the darnedest time figuring out what time period it could be from or what type of clam. I think it looks a lot like a modern day giant ocean clam, and comparing it to all the clam and shell type fossils I can find in encyclopedias and online none look quite like this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Tarrant formation clam and ammonites

    I found my first Tarrant formation clam, protocardia Texana, looking forward to cleaning it up more. Interesting shape. I also find conlinoceras tarrantense ammonites every time at this spot, and I even found a new species for me, paraconlinoceras barcusi. Thanks to my friend Mercer for identifying the difference as he prepped a couple of them! This spot is barely into Dallas County. The ammonites have been eroding out of the Tarrant formation under a bunch of roots, I need to bring some clippers and a small shovel next time, just to generously tidy up the landscape a little, of course. The tiny one was in a small golf ball sized concretion I cracked open.

    Unidentified fish

    These fossils were bought for me at an auction selling scrap cuts. The location and age of these fossils is completely unknown. I believe the big ones are a Knightia species but have no clue for the two small ones. There's also a weird one that might be a clam. All photos are cropped and contrasted except for one of the small ones as it only made it harder to see. Paper is college ruled, each line is 7.1 mm Knightia?: Other two fish: Clam?:
  7. Found this in a cliff side in Colorado I am not sure but it looks like a mollusk or Crinoid bulb, DINOSAUR EGG!😆 Thanks!

    Oysters/clams Duck Creek/Fort Worth?

    I don’t find these too often, and rarely can they be extracted in a way that looks good (in my limited experience), but these two were found as shown already separated on all sides. The bigger one is REALLY big compared to those I usually find. I placed a smaller one found in the same spot right next to it for comparison. I tried to use Lance Halls northtexasfossils site to find something similar and there’s a Pennsylvanian specimen that sort of looks similar, but many of his pics aren’t loading properly so I don’t know if I overlooked a likely candidate. Any ideas? This is Tarrant county TX, a spot where I can find exposure of kiamichi clay and Fort Worth formation as well as duck creek.

    Fossil from the Alps

    Hi, hiking around the Partnach Gorge in the Alps I found this partial fossil. I guess it’s some kind of clam fragment but I’m not sure. IMG_2020.heic IMG_2019.heic IMG_2018.heic IMG_2017.heic IMG_2016.heic IMG_2015.heic IMG_2014.heic IMG_2013.heic

    Southwest Michigan Corals/Shells

    Hi all! My daughter has been picking through some sand mounds that were unearthed for a house construction by a lake in Three Rivers - was hoping I could get a few IDs for her and a recommendation for a good book for that purpose. She’s got a good amount so far so I don’t want to post them all. I forgot to tell her to add a ruler for scale but I’m hoping most of these are common and easy to ID Her favorite is this one - it’s matrix has blueish quartz(?) - hard to see in the pictures Thanks for looking! Patrick

    Lake Texoma Find!

    It’s been a while, but now I’ve got something worth posting about that I’d like identified. :) Took a trip to Lake Texoma yesterday and my husband found this. My guess is some kind of bivalve, but I’m hoping that someone here has a little more knowledge.

    Acquired a collection

    Yesterday I received a 30 pound box of various shell, marine fossils, and some other miscellaneous fossils and a few extant bits as well. I will post in the ID section some as not everything has a label. It is a large overwhelming amount to sort through so this will be a bit at a time kind of thread. Please let me know if anything of the id tags are using outdated names or incorrect, etc. First an overall picture the seller had of the lot. Some Brachiopods from Wutach Germany What appears to be clam steinkerns also from Wutach Germany second picture of hinge point if that is useful. A pair of Glycymeris Americana with matching valves from Virginia Sticking with the Virginia theme a pair of Crucibulum constrictum A crab burrow from another Virginia location. And last but not least for now is some Olivia carolinensis from North Carolina I will try to make additional posts every few days as I unpack and sort this collection out. Stay tuned folks.

    California fossil shells

    Found these in a dirt heap construction area near Lomita, San Pedro area does anyone know the exact species etc. ? Last photo is a few other finds including the bivalves. Thanks
  17. Hi everyone, this is Matt again. Today in the creek I found a fossil loaded with brachiopods all over it. Here is a photo :
  18. A bivalve fossil I found at Big Brook yesterday. First one like it I've ever seen, so thought it might be something interesting.

    Maybe fossilized clam super hard

    Ive had this what looks to be a fossilized clam in my yard 30+years , my grandfather brought it home one day, he said he found it while they were dredging in some part of Tampa bay, it's really hard my wet saw cut through granite like butter but this not so much, basically I was wondering if anyone knew what it was and if it might have turned into something cool because I want to cut it in half and put of display, I'd appreciate any shared knowledge thanks.

    Fossils or just shell and rock

    Hey everyone, new here, but hoping I’ve come to the right place! My family just got back from tooth hunting on shark tooth island and found these too and wondered how we could confirm what they are and if they’re just ordinary or could be extraordinary!
  21. hi everyone this is matt again take a look at these clams I found in the creek today here is a few photos
  22. So I was caring for my snapping turtle when I found these 4 rocks in his tank. 3 of them are undeniably fossils. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of fossils they are. One looks to be some sort of clam, one looks to be the tail of something, and the other almost looks like a turtle shell. The rock that looks like a turtle shell has a smooth top, what looks like car tracks under it, and a hole in the middle where a turtles head could go. As you can see by the photos, they are very small, and there's likely much more in my turtles tank. There is a 4th rock that I didn't take photos of that has a few black hair-like things stuck to it. I would love to know what types of fossils these are.
