    New and have TONS of ???

    OK so I'm very new to basically everything about rocks and fossils. And my questions might seem ridiculous to some and I'm sorry. OK are all rocks that have crystal inside geodes? I know what round cauliflower looking geodes are. But are there untraditional ones that aren't round. And I'm find huge huge coral fossils and some other that are swirly . They all seem to have quartz inside . I guess I'm wondering are they all crystal inside and what's the best way to see without using acid and ruining the fossil itself. Cut them? I'll attached a few pics and more tom when i goto the creek . Some are still connected to the flat rock bottom of the creek.

    Wood or Coral fossil ID

    New to fossil forum - 2nd post. Spent considerable time & have thoroughly enjoyed reading posts requesting id’s!!! I found this fossil (& 2 others exactly the same but considerably smaller - same fossil hunt) loose in a St Louis, MO county mostly dry creek bed. Online research consensus was coral fossil. But, it looks like pet wood to me. Not apparent in pics, but the rock sparkles with quartz druzy that I’ve found to be common in the rocks I’ve collected from Northeast & Southeast Missouri.
  3. Hi guys please help me identify this! Is it modern? I’m very new at this, should it be left at the beach? Found it in El Nido, Philippines. Do you guys know if it is uncommon/ common? It is quite heavy. many thanks

    Coral?

    Hey, new here! My 5 year old found this in the yard. We're in NC about 1 Mile from the Cape Fear River (literally back yard). We're also about an hour or so from beaches. I found some pictures it looks like Disphyllia Wangi which I'm thinking is coral from France. It also looks like it's possible honeycomb? I'm no archeologist, but my 5 year old has always been super interested in nature particularly anthropology and archeology. I'd love any help our resources to identify this and fuel his journey.
  5. I found this fossil in the thar desert near jaisalmer india Is it a worm or corals or any other prehistoric marine creature I found this near akal fossil park , sam sand dunes Please help me identify it Moreover I also found a ammonite fossil near it.

    Coral Identification please?

    Found these in a central Florida spring, Seminole/Orange County area. Pretty sure they are coral, but haven’t been able to pinpoint the species.

    Another Fossil ID

    I found this today. I think it's a really weathered tabulate coral fossil, but what I'm curious about is, I've never found one so weathered that the top of the tabulae are not visible anymore/gone. the fossil in the back is the most weathered coral fossil I've found thus far, and even that one has the open ends of the tabula still intact/identifiable. Also weird is, that brown-ish part of the rock has something sparkling in it. like, little lines? It's weird, I've never seen lines on a rock quite like this. I'm assuming the brown is iron oxide? I've never seen that and quartz/mica/whatever on the same rock. I'm probably using the wrong terminology for all this. Forgive my noobness. I know this is a tough ID, and might not be possible, but I'm open on ideas. It might not even be a fossil at all, although tabulate corals come in a variety of shapes right ? hmmm.
  8. I know that what determines fossil color is the chemical composition of the rock, but why the many colors in this coral fossil I found today? It's especially noticeable on the top and bottom of the fossil. Anyway, I'm curious. EDIT: Oh, and upon further cleaning I noticed it sparkles.... the mystery deepens haha
  9. This was a pretty awesome find, I found it in sandbank/exposed riverbed in a remote location alongside the Genesee River here in NY, USA Also, in the cavitation where this animal burrowed, right at the "tail" of it there are these....coarse red-black hairs. Now, I washed this rock/scrubbed it thoroughly 2 times before I realized they were there...and they're still there. So they seem to be...penetrating the rock?...maybe these hairs are from this creature?? They appear no where else on the fossil. Kind of a long shot but maybe.
  10. Hi! I was searching for arrowheads in my field in Emanuel county this past week and picked up a small stone that looked odd. I posted it in my FB group called Georgia Arrowheads and Artifacts and most agreed with me that it appears to be a small fossilized piece of coral. Any information would be helpful! Thanks!

    What type of coral could this be?

    Found this in my backyard where I’ve also found another coral. I live in south Florida about 20 mins from the beach from the Atlantic Ocean. Not sure what kind of coral this could be. I’m also very curious about the hole because it seems to have been made. Any suggestions are welcome thank you.
