Hi all, I need your help if possible in identifying these 3 fossils I found this month at Manasota Key, FL. They were found laying on top on the sand at the shoreline. I have attached pictures and am labeling them (1) (2) and (3) starting from 1 to 10 on the measuring tape. Thanks in advance for your help and knowledge!

Wondering if I can get some insight on what, if anything, this might be. I found it along the beach with glacial buff deposits on Camano Island, Washington State, USA. Thanks in advance!

Hello! Looking for some help on what fossil this is. Found in a tide pool at the beach. I was thinking whale or shark rib? Size is 240mm x 40mm x 25mm. Thanks! Jimmy -

Found this specimen on the beach in Lewes, Delaware (USA). Small iridescent shells and other shell shards throughout. It is about 4cm long at its widest point. Recently read about regurgitates and this looked similar. Anyone know what I have here?

I found this on the beach in Cherry Grove South Carolina. It's about 2 inches long. Im not sure what it is but I feel like it's a bone or tooth of some kind because of the brown discoloration on the inside but I really don't know. Will leave it to the professionals of fossil forum to give me some suggestions.

Found this on the beach in the outer banks, NC. The tusk or tooth part is 6-7 inches long. We have no idea what this could be and would welcome any help with the ID. Thanks!

Hi, Found this bone over Christmas whilst on a beach walk on the south coast of England. Please could someone identify what animal it's from and what part of the body too? It's about 15cm long. Thanks, Steve

Hello all, since I finally joined this awesome community, I decided to post these two I found many years ago at Calvert Cliffs, MD. The beaches yield marine fossils of Miocene era, shark teeth, shells, porpoise, whale, etc. I’ve always assumed the bone was something really recent but hung onto it just in case. Always assumed the tooth was some sort of crocodilian but I don’t know if that makes sense.

Hey all and a merry Christmas! I spent Christmas day at the beach with family and my partner found something on the beach which we would like to know more about. Can anyone ID this? There are a couple of broken bits allowing a cross section view. It almost looks like a mineral deposit...? Can anyone provide some input? Thanks in advance

So I found this rather large specimen embedded in rock near the cliffs of half moon bay on redondo beach, California. Found amongst barnacle scallop and clam fossils as well. I’m thinking ammonite or nautilus, or something of the like.

Hello to all! I'm an avid sea glass collector here on Cape Cod and have been collecting it for almost a decade on a beach hugely covered by rocks - which I've pretty well ignored until this recently caught my eye. I picked it up thinking it was just an interesting composite rock but was completely stumped when I saw the wood grain section as well. After some quick internet research I was so amazed to find it seemed to be petrified wood. I think it's safe to say that I probably haven't given such a thing a second thought since a grade school science class so had the contrast in the piece hadn't been so pronounced I never ever would've even thought to look for it. I still have a huge amount to learn about the identification of classifications, but am I looking at an example of black petrified wood? The feel of it is extremely smooth. The last two photos are of a piece I found the other day with some beautiful orange & red transparencies when aiming a flashlight behind it. It would seem like a pretty straight forward piece of petrified wood but perhaps I'm wrong? Ever since that day I've been collecting like mad but I really want to education myself about identifying petrified wood vs agates or other rocks, so if anybody could recommend any books for a reference guide it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your insights. , Julie

I need to pick some brains. I found this at a beach, late cretacous in age in New Zealand. The site is known for belemnites, reptilian bones and fossil wood. I have no idea what this is. It has protruding thin lines spanning out over both ends that have been replaced by calcite or quartz. The lines can be seen along the length of one side and on the other side there seems to be a circle with new protruding thin lines. Could this be pine needles? It's the only thing I can think of? Some parts almost have a woody characteristics, and other parts with fine to medium sand textures.

Has anyone ever found a meg (whole or partial) on caspersen beach in Venice Fl or the surrounding beaches? Please post pics if you have them.
-
This kind of reminds me of a pine cone:
-
Need your help. I’m going to be in the Venice area next week for a few days. Can anyone tell me the real impact the current red tide situation is having on the area? Are people able to search beaches for fossils without having effects of red tide? Is the water ok to swim in?
-
Is this a fossil?
-
Does anyone know what this is, fossil maybe?

Found on a beach in Yorkshire. Not entirely sure what this is. Many thanks

Hi guys Went over to Sheppey yesterday to see what I could find... I'm a total novice, so I tend to pick up anything with an interesting shape and/or texture. Found some pyritised wood/twigs, a bit of crab in a phosphatic nodule, a little gastropod and some very round seed pods. The following pics are of the ones I had trouble figuring out due to their shapes resembling other things. Any clues would be great! Thanks ONE I'd like to think it's some kind of pointy reptile scute, but from my browse online it's possibly a pyritised seed husk? 3rd pic shows the depth of the piece and a VERY smooth and shiny blob inside TWO & THREE LEFT: Again, probably a seed pod/husk. Has a pitted texture similar to a piece of crab shell, but a lot less uniform. Kinda reminds me of a Tapir toe RIGHT: Possibly a shrimp? lobster? Maybe some clustered belemnite parts? Looks like a very full hot dog bun haha. Had to wet it to bring out the details. FOUR I thought some encased bone or wood? Online research leads me to believe it could be a lobster burrow? The back is solid light brown rock with no inner black part showing through. FIVE Had to dunk this one in some water to get the details and colour to come out. 3rd pic looks a lot darker and shinier for some reason, but it's not coal. Fossilised wood- with possible bug borings? (based on the dotty parts in the 2nd pic) Hopefully there's something vaguely interesting here haha Thanks for looking

Please help me identify these finds from the bottom of a clay cliff in Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey a - 0.5cm thick, almost flat, smooth on the other side b - i think this is not a fossil but a handle of an old knife c - round in cross section d - this is hexagonal in cross section the remaining ones are all of the same kind and the beach was full of them, i guess they may not be fossils either but what are they?
