Hello. I found this stone in Austin Texas, USA. It is covered on both sides with these little possible leaves, most at about 2-3 centimeters in length. Few are very clear, so I tried to get a couple good photos of the best ones. It was sitting at the top of a rocky hill in northern Austin, I believe what is called the Great Hills area. There were a lot of bivalves nearby, even snagged a lovely Exogyra ponderosa. But this one seems to allude me. Leaf shaped fronds, but the inside shape almost seems more animal than plant. Any help is deeply appreciated!

First one was theorized to be a gerastos trilobite, but I am unsure after comparing images The second image came with a note that said pachycephalosaurus vertebrae, hell creek. I don't know how accurate that is but if someone could at least tell me what type of vertebrae this is because all the ones I looked up were not this intricate Third and fourth one I have no idea what they are they never had any notes attached when I unpacked. I completely understand if nobody can identify exactly what they are but if someone can tell me what bones they at least are I'm happy with that The last two pictures are the front and back of what I assume is a juvenile mammoth wrist bone. Or at least that's what the note said there was no location written down Goodness, I believe this might be the last post of all the stuff I found. I really do appreciate everyone's help.

Found in Martin Kentucky, Middle Pennsylvanian, Hayden Formation. I thought I found a geode the other day so cut it open. The surrounding material got a somewhat mirror shine from the cutting tool (I assume iron rock). However when I hit it with a hammer and it cracked open I found this inside. It looks, to me, like a small fish or plant. I have no idea if this is even a fossil, so any help would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

The first is only about 1 and a half inches long while the second is closer to 3 and a quarter. Certificates are attached to help narrow it down. I'm trying to make little info plaques for my display case so any additional info is welcome!

Hey there everyone! I haven't been on in some time but I've just started unpacking my stuff from a move and I came across this fossil that I found in the fall of last year. I found it in an eroding gravel cliff that I frequently find Coleraine formation deposits in. This fossil is one of the handful that I haven't been able to identify. Whatever it is, it's one of the larger fossil/casts that I've found. Any help would be appreciated!

So I’ve just come back from the Barack and clean up what I found (removed all sand and gunk) and I had come across some shells, unusual crystals (probably quartz) and a fossil leaf and stem imprint (for size the red shell is around the size of the average hand) If anyone has any info on any of these would be a big help

I'm currently in a dried out creek in Floyd County Kentucky and have found this--thing. It's about 4.5 cm wide and 5 cm long. It kinda looks like something, part of a fish or leaf maybe. The area is mostly carboniferous. I'm just wondering if this is anything I should bother with as the rock it's on is about 60 pounds.

I bought this very, very cheap from someone who claims it came from the Hell Creek formation. They both claim it to be a triceratops fragments and hadrosaur. They found it in the 90s. That is all the information I have unfortunately. I have my doubts that it is even bone. Any help to identifying at, the very least, if this is even bone would be awesome. If this is bone I do not expect a proper identification of species because it's so small. Thanks in advance. Note: I did my best with the magnifying shots, my hands shook a bit. Also I might have posted this to the wrong forum. Sorry about that. Edited to remove ramblings.

Found this rock/fossil on a beach in Northumberland, England. I did not break it open. This is as found. Although dull I believe the reverse side contains Pyrite. Any help in identifying is appreciated

Seller said this was probably a reptile toe bone. I was just curious to know if any more info could be gleaned from it? Measurements in imperial. Thanks!

Fossil identification from Croatia..?..There are so many of them
todor.dbk posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone, I am your member since yesterday and this is my second post. I wonder if you can help me with identification? I think these are the shells of some molluscs.. I live in Dubrovnik, Croatia and our rocks are extremely rich in these fossils, but I don't know which ones they are? Our rocks here are mostly white limestones of Cretaceous age, and as far as I've seen online, the rudists, which are abundant here, don't have a two-part shell, like this creature? It seems so to me. Thanks everyone in advance ! And what do you think, should I try to dissolve them in vinegar? There will be no harm since there are a lot of them

We need some help identifying these fossils found on Amelia Island, Florida

Hello! I recently had the chance to return to my favorite fossil collecting location in Monmouth County (Holmdel) and came across some things that were unfamiliar to me. Could you please help me with identification? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! 1. I think this may be a tooth from some mammal. Perhaps not a fossil? There are lots of farms and wild deer in the area. 2. This one is embedded in a sedimentary matrix. It looks chitinous to me, so maybe it is related to ghost shrimp? 3. I have no idea what these could potentially be. Thank you so much!

Hey! Wanted some outside input on what these teeth could be- the first four photos are my attempts at identifying them but more opinions would be greatly appreciated, as I'm still learning. Especially for the splotchy off-white tooth. All of these were found in 2016 in the W. M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park. Many thanks!
