Here’s something a little different. For years we’ve occasionally found remains of these giant barnacles on the beach at a Miocene site here in New Zealand. I wasn’t sure of the ID, or where exactly they were coming from. It was a bit of a mystery. A few weeks ago we went exploring in an area we hadn’t looked before and found a layer, where the only fossils are these barnacles! There is enough exposed to get a genus: Bathylasma. A deep water barnacle. In NZ the modern species Bathylasma alearum lives in water depths from 400-1600m. I collected this beauty,

Any help identifying this is appreciated. Pretty sure it’s a fossil of coral, barnacle or some other similar sea life but I really don’t know. Like my other posts, comes out of the Florida estate fossil collection that I purchased at auction. Once again thank you all in advance for any help.

Hello there! Found this guy in Calvert cliffs state park, Maryland. I think it's a fossilized barnacle, but I'd love another perspective. Thanks in advance and I appreciate the help!

The blue-green fluorescence is due to exposure of the amber's hydrocarbons to UV wavelengths in the LED light. There are numerous fossil barnacles and barnacle scars, coating the exterior of the specimen. History: The amber of Chiapas has a history© Kaegen Lau

Aloha, I just got myself a cristmas present, not that old, but to beautiful to resist. A fossil shell from Florida, encrusted in barnacles. I havent got it yet, so here are two pics from the seller. Who can tell me a species or even two? And an age, or is it all holocene? Best regards, J

So, one more for now from the kids museum I created when I was 12. This is an extraordinarily small fossil I found by cracking open some rocks on a rock outcropping when I was a kid. The appearance reminds me of modern day goose-neck barnacles but I default to your opinions- species and age always appreciated! Stay healthy! Bone

Hello, can anyone please help me with this Barnacle. Is this old? Do you have any idea of the age of this or if a fossil even or just a dead barnacle shell. Its about 2 inches the shell its self and about 1 1/2 depth. It was found in Oregon, United States (Pacific Ocean Beach)

Ahoi dear forum members. While reading a little bit about rudists some of the structures in picture of a broken Hippurites and the shape of Lapeirusia crateriformis reminded me remotely of a still unidentified beachfind from my last big holiday. That doesn´t say much, as apparently rudist could look like anything they wanted, but still I wonder what the fragment I found may be. Found it in the pacific driftline, broken like you see it. There are some barnacles, some serpulids, maybe a little bivalve also, but I wonder what the enclosing structure is. Any ideas? Aloha,

I should have posted this long ago, but am going to do it now, in the hope that then it is behind me and then I can look forward to future adventures. Due to ill health from 2012, finances and responsibilities, I have been unable to do any personal collecting except for this one wonderful trip which reminded me that I've still got it in me. In October 2016 wifey and I were relaxing in a bar on Tarifa beach, the southernmost point in mainland Europe, located at the south-western corner of Spain, opposite Tangier, the two Pillars of Hercules that are the entrance to the Mediterranean f

Found this a bit over a month ago. Looks like a barnacle to me - but I readily admit "I know NOTHING!". Best Regards, Joe

Good morning! I'm not finding a picture of this guy. Most my other barnacles are purple acorns. Haven't found another like this one. I'd like to know a little more about him. Is it a type of acorn barnacle? Thanks! (Sw Fl, on an oyster, pliocene) P.S. Just pulled it out of a bath, sorry it's still wet...

I found this some years back at Pescadero Beach in California. I don't know if it's fossilized but if it is I think it would be from the Tertiary. Any help much appreciated.
