Hello - l just found this amongst the loose rocks on the beach. It's a small village on the coast of Yorkshire. And isn't accessible except by scaling the cliff or walking a few miles along the beach. The cliffs here are made of clay deposited during the last ice age clay - so they're a real mix of rock types. This block was pre broken. I saw some light shapes on the reverse and found these when I flipped it over. I want to believe these are vertebrae so bad! But I turn to the immense collective knowledge of the fossil forum What have I got here?

Hello, I'm wondering what these are. All three of them are about a centimetre long and around 5 millimetres wide, they were found on Skegness beach, on the eastern coast of Lincolnshire, UK. They are roughly cylindrical and ribbed, with the cross-section being a kind of star shape. look forward to hearing back

Hello, I'm wondering what the fossils in this rock are. there is a large one surrounded by multiple small ones at different angles within the rock, and the fossils look very mushroom-like, although i may be wrong. The whole rock is around 2.3cm on its longest side, the largest fossil is about 1cm in diameter and the rest are all about 0.5cm or less. found in the gravel of a drive in Skegness, Lincolnshire so it may have come from elsewhere. hope to hear back

Found at oceans view beach Norfolk VA.

I found this on a beach on the isle of wight. I think its fossilised sea bed fragments. It appears to have gold imbedded in much of it. Could someone confirm what it is? I expect it to be fools gold but it adds a good spin to the story when told. Thanks

Hello again! Can any of you lovely people help me with this one? Could be a chunk of raw jet, but hoping it's a pliestocene bone. This was collected on a beach in the North East of England. I know there are large deposits of pliestocene stuff just out to sea. But there are also large deposits of raw Jet too! Whitby is about 70 miles North and is famed for the stuff. Can you eagle eyed lovelies help me? Also - what should I look for in future? This is super interesting! Thank you

I found this strange thing on Topsail Island, NC last week. Do any of you experts know what it may be? Thanks

Hi there - new here. Found this at Rockaway beach in New York. I don't think it's a fossil but I think it's a bone. My best guess is that it's the middle section of a baby crocodile skull, but I have 0-5% confidence in that, especially considering the location. I was trying to find pictures online, but couldn't find anything with a cross-section, which would be most useful. 2 friends said it's a peach pit, and 1 friend said it's coral, but the symmetry (especially from the sides) makes me think otherwise. But if it is indeed something silly, please excuse my foolishness.

Wondering if anyone knows what this might be from. Maybe it's not a fossil. We found on the Lake Michigan beach near Two Rivers Wisconsin. Theres a small cut un it, where it appears to be the makeup of bone, not rock. Maybe a carpal bone from something?

Can anyone help me identify what kind of tooth this is. My son and I found it shell hunting off a beach in riviera maya. Thank you:)

Hi! I'm mostly here just because I'm interested in fossils haha, but I was wondering what this fossil might be? It's approx. 3-4 cm (pretty small!), and I also found it on the beach in Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic). This is more for curiosities sake, and just because I find them cool.

Hi, I found this down on the beach at Walton on the Naze (UK) the other day - not entirely sure what it is, or even whether it's actually a fossil or not - but thought I'd ask if anyone else has any other insight? It appears to be pyritised, but other than that, I don't really have any clues as to what it could be.

I found these fragments on the beach in South Carolina (USA) and I can’t seem to find any information about them online. They're approximately 2-2.5 cm thick and feel a bit like metal. Image searches of petrified wood, turtle shell and coral haven’t produced anything similar. Any ideas?

On a recent visit last week (July 4th) to Charleston, S.Carolina, I went fossil hunting on Folly Beach. I was able to find a large variety of shark teeth that I have been able to id. This large one and the grouping of teeth I am unsure of. After researching I believe that it is a great white shark. The largest one is 2". I would appreciate any thoughts.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my small collection of shark teeth with you. On the Belgian coast there are a few places where you can find fossil shark teeth on the beach. Most of the Belgian shoreline has been raised with sand which lacks fossils. Only a few places have been spared so there you can still find teeth. I'm especially proud of the Xyphodolamia Ensis, it's rare on our coast. The Odontaspis hopei was found by a friend of mine. - Alopias latidens - Brachycarcharias lerichei - Hyproprion acanthodon - Jaekelotodus robustus - Myliobatidae sp. (a ray) - Striatolamia macrota - Xyphodolamia ensis - Odontaspis hopei

Hello my name is brittaney. I am new to this forum. I have been looking for sharks teeth as long as I can remember with my mom. Just this past year my tooth collection has taken a real big turn out. All my teeth I have found have been found on venice beach florida. Great location for shark teeth. I have found a lot but only so many have stood out to me. That I just dont know what they are. I really appreciate the help. Thank you.

His all I found this what I assume is some sort of petrified bone. It is shiny and very hard, and seems mineralised. About 2.5cm long by about 2. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I only joined the forum after finding this.

Found this on the beach in NC. Can someone please help me identify? I’m at a loss! Thanks!

Not sure whether this is a very beat up tooth, bone or something else? Found on a barrier island along the intercostal, NC towards Carolina Beach. Any clues?

Found this odd fossil washed up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Eastern shore of U.S.A. It is just over 2 cm. I've found many fossils along the shore here but this one is new to me. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Hi everyone! I found this yesterday on a pebbley/rocky shore near Solva in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, UK. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? The stone is roughly 15cm x 15cm and was found on the mid shore. Thanks in advance! Hannah

Hi there! Newbie here. I was shell hunting on San Jose Island this weekend and I said to myself “boy it would be neat to find a shark tooth” and then I immediately found one!! (Not pictured). But THEN I found this thing, which I think could be even more interesting! Needless to say, it was a thrilling afternoon. Claw or tooth? It’s about an inch from tip to tip. Thanks for checking it out!

Hello all! First time posting here. I'm hoping you can help me out, please. About a week ago I found this bone on a beach in the North East of England while I was out hunting for small fossils. I'd like to get better at recognising bones, so I bagged it and brought it home as a little tester. But for the last 6 days i've been driving myself mad trying to figure out what this thing is! I started trying to narrow down the most common possibilities. I've been looking at Sheep and Cow bones for like 3 days. Then I tried referring to the Natural History Museum's guide to British Mammall bones. I even tried looking at different cuts of meat. I've tried to imagine this thing attached to a larger bone. Like, perhaps that's why I can't find a match? But I'm drawing a blank. It doesn't seem quite fossilised, but I'm anosmic... and well, I can't really face the idea of asking someone to "Sniff my bone". So the burn test is out the window for me at the moment. Haha. Please can someone help shed some light on this? Whatever it turns out to be, I'm super interested. Huge thanks!
