Amateur here; turned over a rock in our landscape for 20+ years, to find this. Obtained at Duff’s Quarry in Huntsville Ohio. What kind of seashell is this - strange circular arc on hinge side?

Hey everyone!! I'm writing in to see if anybody has a preference between Paulding fossil garden and Sylvania fossil park for finding trilobites. There is a spot at the header of this entry which nobody else has talked about that might yield some gems. Posts about Paulding seem like hit or miss trilobite presence. Which site would be more "picked over" do you think, if you do at all? I'm driving through Ohio soon and can only stop at one spot. Trilobites and microfossils are my priority and all else would be a great bonus. If anyone cares to weigh in I would greatly appreciate it - I don't know where to start! Thanks, Justin

Need help identifying if this is just a rock or something else
Kyleigh Hope posted a topic in Fossil ID
In my backyard, I found this rock that was uncovered by recent rainstorms. It has strange "zig-zag" marks along some of the sides, and looks to be porous. I cleaned it off and did a tongue test, and the majority stuck to my tongue. The part that didn't was the noticeably smooth part shown in what I believe to be the 6th photo. My question: Is this just a rock, or could it be something else?- 2 replies

Hello everyone! My name is Patrick, I am new to these forums, and have next to no knowledge about fossils. I just found an interesting item today on my farm in Wayne County, Ohio, and was wondering if you could please help me. If it is not a fossil, please forgive me, I would like to learn more about the subject, and figured this would be a good way to start. Anyways, I was walking the bed of my creek, and I noticed what I thought to be a large bee hive stuck in the clay embankment. Upon further inspection, I noticed that it was solidified and made of rock, and the “combs” were more cylindrical than hexagonal or octagonal. I wondered if this is a fossil, and whether or not it might be coral? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I did my best to follow the photo guidelines, and the bottom of my tape measurer is in cm, for those of you whom may be outside of the U.S.

I found this cool rock today while hunting arrowheads! It is loaded with some kind of fossils- are they cephalopods? It even has groove marks on it as if it could had been used as a tool long ago. I need your help please... am I correct in thinking they are cephalopods? Thanks for all help! Soooooo excited to find this!

This has small fan-like figures throughout it. One is much bigger than the rest. Can you tell me what they are please? The back is sooo different than the front as it is smooth without anything on it at all. Thanks for your help!

It’s not very big but there’s a pattern of some sort here. Wondering if it could be a plant fossil or other? It’s near the middle of the rock where I see small horizontal lines running toward the top of the rock. Anything? Thank you for your help!

I know I’m always posting “stuff” and I’m trying to patiently wait until I’m sure I have a fossil this time, so you all don’t kick me off here haha!!......but I found this yesterday on the riverbank of the Huron River. It’s in the north central area of Ohio. And I couldn’t wait to ask about it! What do you think is it coral? Thanks for your help.

I believe it’s a flint core because it feels really soft and smooth. I love it’s look but when I look at the end of it there’s a golden color (please tell me it’s gold)! I’m sure it’s not .... haha... it won’t wash off or scratch off easily. Any ideas? Thanks for your help! Found in Ohio in a field ,in North central area.

Found in a river near the north central part of Ohio. It looks like a full leaf to me. Can there actually be a fossilized leaf? I could google it I guess but I’d rather have your opinion and find out what it really is. Thanks for all information!

I think it’s sandstone. Thought it was an Indian artifact but I guess it isn’t. I’m guessing mineral erosion caused this???? Thanks for all information!

Was hoping it was dinosaur scat but then I noticed it was shiny in some places. Once I cleaned it I saw layering and I think “schist” making it shiny! It’s oddly very heavy . Found in a river in north central Ohio area. I saw one pic , somewhat similar that was said to be a plant. Any ideas? Thank you!
