On our recent trip to Cape May Nj we stayed bay side in Villas and I found some pretty cool finds! The first photos I’m pretty sure are coral fossils (based on browsing this site) but the last few photos I am stumped. Any help would be great! My problem may be I have to great an imagination when it comes to rocks!

Hi all! My daughter has been picking through some sand mounds that were unearthed for a house construction by a lake in Three Rivers - was hoping I could get a few IDs for her and a recommendation for a good book for that purpose. She’s got a good amount so far so I don’t want to post them all. I forgot to tell her to add a ruler for scale but I’m hoping most of these are common and easy to ID Her favorite is this one - it’s matrix has blueish quartz(?) - hard to see in the pictures Thanks for looking!

Has an almost electric purple vein running the entire length and was hoping someone could identify it for me.

I found these two rocks in northern Italy. One seems to me like a coral? But I might be wrong. Please let me know what this is if you know! And the last one is a rock with a black spot on it. I have seen this shape on the bottom of a piece I bought with a lot of ammonite imprints and fragments, so I wanted to see if it is something or if it's just a geological pattern. thank you!

I'm pretty new to fossil hunting, I found this in some landscaping outside my work. I've done some research myself, i live in Ontario which is mostly Devonian era fossils, and I've read coral is pretty common. Could be entirely wrong and just hoping for some clarification!

I found this little guy today walking by a sand wash. small but out of place in Farmington NM. far away from anything bit questionable sushi. anyways he looks like coral. or maybe a dragon talon . Well why not? It's almost as logical as desert ocean coral . Anyways if anyone cares to utilize their respected knowledge . If it helps I've found lots of petrified wood and 150+/- year old navajo Indian pottery fragments in this area

Hi! I found these cool shells on Emerald Isle Beach in North Carolina yesterday and was wondering if anyone could help identify them. 1) Orange shell - this one is a super cool shape and also has some rocks trapped inside which is pretty interesting! 2) Purple/white - is this coral or just a cool rock? 3) Brown shell - also another cool shape (although it’s probably just broken) and the layering/colors are super pretty Thanks!

Are these just weathered rocks or fossils? There are 4 different rocks shown. The fourth one is a more random one, I don't quite know what it is. Thank you.

I was helping my dad do a little landscaping in Middleboro, MA. Very surprised (and confused) to dig this up! I was looking into it after I got home and if I ID'd this right I believe it's hexagonaria? I saw these are often found around Michigan. Don't know what it was doing all the way in Mass but there it was

Are these patterns showing it is a fossil

Hello, I found this one near a highway crossover to a railroad track outside of Hatch New Mexico. It's dimensions are are as follows 10x7x8 inches roughly. It is very heavy so maybe suggests Bareite? It also has what appears to be deliberate lines carved around it. Could be geologic but have a close look at the darker material and you will hopefully see this. Any ideas are appreciated.

Hello Trying find out more information on this item, it was loosely ID as fossilized coral, , part of an old collection of shells flint and fossils from surrey UK

Really not sure if this even qualifies as a fossil but here it is. It was wrapped very well inside a bin. Any thoughts? pictures may not show it but it has gorgeous color .

Trying to ID these. Found around Cedar Mountain/Green River, WY. A local guy said they are rugose coral fossils. The pictures I find for rugose coral on Google don't really look like what we have. Anyway, they are usually found in groups on the surface. Many times turtle fossil fragments are in the same area. Any info would be appreciated.

Hello all, I found this in some Americus limestone in Greenwood county Kansas. I can't determine what kind of coral it is though. It's one of the larger specimens of coral I have found though. Thanks in advance!

I found a unique fossil in the Ordovician formation, but I'm unsure if it's coral or something else. Any thoughts or suggestions?

These are some bits of coral and a shark tooth I found on the beach at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this morning. Obviously there's not much geologic context, so I don't expect much, but can anyone tell me more specifically what they are? Or how old they are (are they even actually fossils?)? The scale bar in the shark tooth photo is about a centimeter.

Found this yesterday in a creek bed in middle TN - pretty sure it is a rugose coral fossil but would love to know more about it. I am not even qualified to be listed as amateur:)
