Found these two stones on the southern coast of England, can someone please help me identify them?
fossilman4554 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found these two stones on a beach on the southern coast of England, and they seem to have fossils embedded in them. I'm not sure what they could be, can someone here help me identify them?

I found this while I was out running the other day - it was near the top of a mountain in Southwest Virginia. Is this a coral fossil? Could the thing on the end be a brachipod fossil? Sorry my measuring tape only had inches, but I figured it was better than nothing!

Found today on the shoreline of Lake Ontario.

I don’t know where it was found or how old was it is. I found it at one of the cave the mounds sleuthing sites in Dane county Wisconsin, its about 3cm long and looks a bit like coral.

Could this be a sponge? Note the radial structure and the occasional branching rods. Collected in Missouri, but location and age are unknown. Also, the specimen is sawn to 3/4" thick and the fossil doesn't extend into the sawn area! There is a lot of tiny crinoidal hash in the matrix rock. The light blue grid is one inch.

The following pics are of one piece. It’s a small but interesting fossil found in New Orleans gravel. Can anyone ID this? Looks a little different than what I usually come across. Thanks in advance!

Alright...I think I finally found some fossils! Are any of these identifiable? These were found past Strawberry and Pine on the Mogollon Rim in Northern Arizona. Thanks in advance! #1

Hi All, A friend of mine sent me photos of a potential fossil that he has. To me it looks like a potential coral? Or maybe it's geologic? I have no idea what it is. He has no idea where it was collected. Sorry I can't give more info If anyone has any suggestions. Thanks

Hello everyone, back again with another request for fossil ID. I found this rock on a small rocky beach in western Michigan, the same location I find a lot of my fossils in. At first glance I thought it may have been a Petoskey stone (Hexagonaria percarinata), but upon closer examination it doesn't really look anything like one. In fact, it doesn't really even look like a coral to me, though I could be wrong. That is my only guess, so it might actually be one. I'm also curious as to the reddish bands that are visible on the side of the rock. If anyone could shed some light, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This fossil was found in Gotland, Sweden and i have no idea what it is...Maybe a type of coral?

I would welcome any help identifying a fossil that I suspect to be some sort of bacteria/coral/sponge/aquatic item. Sorry to sound so ignorant about it, but I really don't know aquatic life by sight. The fossil is 6 cm long X 4 cm tall X 2 cm thick. Found in an Upper Cretaceous area, Kirtland Formation of northwestern New Mexico. The fossil has the small pits located around the edges and on the opposite side too. Thanks!

Found this in the Peace River in the spring and have been trying to find something to compare it to ever since. Haven't been able to find anything like it. It has the appearance of shell or coral. The color is a dull gray and it has the look and feel of metal. Don't know if it is any type of fossil or just a suggestive "something". If anyone has seen anything similar or has any idea what it is your input would be appreciated.

Found this in Southeast Wisconsin. Help identifying would be appreciated! It's about 3" long 3" deep 2" tall triangular (ish) in shape. The back is very cool as well. Thank you.

Found this interesting rock at the creek today and was wondering what y'all can tell me about it? I can find cool stuff all day but I can't really tell y'all much about it. The little round thing in it is what I was most curious about, and I just figured it would be cool for you all to look at as well.

So here is this rock that I thought looked similar to coral and is actually the rock that made me discover part of missouri was underwater at some point in history. Is this a piece of coral ? And if not can anybody tell me what it is ? I'm back and forth on this is it coral? or is it made of sediment? Or something else altogether?
-
Please tell me those are fish!!! (One of my dream find fossils)Found this near downtown Lockhart believe it or not, I’m a little protective over the spot cuz I COULD get super specific on this one and it’s not very off the beaten path ...lol

Hi everyone, I found this in marine pliocene-pleistocene sediments. The rock is a sandstone with large cemented elements (pebbles and fragments of shells). What is that round object? It has an ornamentation made of small holes, fairly regular, under the surface the holes seem to widen into small chambers (as you can see in the broken point). Could it be a coral or a fossil sponge? Dimension of the round object: 40x25mm Thanks

a friend of mine found this fossil in upstate ny. my best guess is that it’s some sort of coral, but i’d love to hear other opinions! it’s about 10 inches by 7 inches by 6 inches. thanks in advance!!

This is the second time I have found a piece of this. Is it a fossil? Found at Lee on the Solent in the south of England. The piece is about 2 inches long. Not particularly heavy but sounds like a stone when you knock it on a wooden table. Thank you for your help. Best wishes.

With winter finally over we took a drive over to Lake Michigan to look along the beach. We found a many of the typical corals. I spotted this interesting looking fossil in the surf and quickly retrieved it. As I looked at it more closely and saw the details I became more unsure of what it is. I'll add some closeups in the next post. Thanks.

Picked this up on the beach. @abyssunder suggested an earlier piece might be tabular coral. This is quite different, but similarly like a hard rock,but with arrays of aligned tubes, some broken or missing. Not something I see often here! First two photos are of the same side, with a broken shark tooth holding the surface more flat. Scale is in cm. Hopefully someone recognizes it and can guess an ID. Thanks.
