Hi ive planned to head down to the beach at Torquay in Australia I’m im just asking what would I be looking for I know the general shapes and such for fossils laying about or in sand but I’ve seen some videos of people going through slate and sand stone and finding fossils inside and since I’m in Australia I was wondering if there is a specific type of rock or formation to look for since different countries and beaches have different geological layouts and such Thanks

Slightly resembles a tooth, but can’t be. I might think some sort of vertebrae but it has no hole for the spinal cord.

Going through what I found on Spring Break this year (my first ‘ fossil hunt’) on St. George Island, FL Is this an echinoderm? Are there other organisms or the structures seen just deeper exposed layers of the potential echinoderm? Thanks for looking

I found this on Prestwick beach in Ayrshire, Scotland. Is it a fossil. It was almost black but now getting lighter as it’s drying out. Thanks!

Hoping to ID what this is and see if we have a tooth or a bone and what kind it is. we thought it was a tooth when we first found it. We found it at Madeira Beach, Florida.

Found on Llanddwyn beach in North Wales, is it colonial coral? Would it look even cooler if I cracked it open or would it ruin it? There is what appears to be sand in the rock, but I’d like to also know what kind of rock the black part is. Thanks for any help! Desperate to know! IMG_5385.MOV

Found this 2” rock on Fort Morgan beach (gulf side). It has no texture, but appears to have tiny possible fish bones on it?

Hi, I'm newly into fossils because of my son, so I have no idea what this is although I thought it looked a little like a tentacle. Length: 9mm Width: 4mm at its widest. Found on Worthing beach, West Sussex. Not entirely sure of our geology but I know we're a chalk area with flint, the stony beach is a mixture of stones including a lot of flint but also other rocks. Thank you!

Found this on a beach walk this morning. Sitting having a rest in 38 degrees, trying to replace liquids faster than losing them, I was flipping stones over here and there. This one has markings around the edge and two circular marks on the opposite end. A light tap and it split in two revealing nothing of interest. It could split again but I don't want to risk damaging the surface till I know what this is or isn't. EDIT for info, the beach here was washed away in the early 80's and what is here now was trucked in from various locations including parts from Jurassic era to Miocene.

I am still new at this, can someone help me rule out what is bone or might be worth looking at closer? I picked these up on the beach near Charleston over the last year or two, and I’m curious what else I can learn here. Thank you all for the knowledge and your expertise!

Hello, I wondered if these are fossils? The top left area looks like wings perhaps? Or fins? found on a beach in kirkcaldy fife Scotland. Many thanks!

Good morning fossil friends! Found this unknown fossil on Morris Island, SC yesterday. Morris Island is an uninhabited island near Charleston and was used by the port authority to dump dredge spoils from the Charleston Harbor for many years. During big tides or storms, the impoundment walls erode and deposit fossils, shells, etc. on the beach. I'd love your help in ID'ing this fossil. Thank you!!

Found a black object on the beach in Atlantic Beach Florida. Curious if it's part of a dugong rib or whale bone. It measures 3" in length by 1.25" in width has a slight curve as well. It's Solid/Dense for it's size. Any help would be much appreciated.

Any ideas what this could be? Found on Folly beach near Charleston, SC. Thanks!!

Found these on a beach in the Hastings area, southern England, UK. They were all quite localised and a few metres away couldn't find any more. When smashed they seem like some sort of ore. Wondering what they are and how formed. Many thanks

About an inch or so long and found in Venice Fl. It superficially resembles a turtle shell but im not actually sure what it is

From the album: Galveston Fossils
Found 3 teeth this weekend trip. Galveston shark teeth are very hard to find (for me). These were all found on the main island (not Bolivar). The top two I believe are the sandbar shark (C. plumbeus) and the lower one is a tiger shark (G. cuvier). -

After drying out, some teeth can change their color, typically getting a bit lighter. -

Razor sharp sandbar shark tooth. Lovely dark blue when it was still wet.
