We took the family out for a day trip to Big Brook today and among many sharks teeth and squid pens, we found this interesting thing. My first thought was corprolite but it has cracks and structure? Idk any help would be great!

Hi there! Been wanting to look around for Cretaceous spots in North Carolina as I'm doing some studies of that region in that particular period. I've heard some sites like Green Mill Run, though it doesn't sound very abundant and other places seem restricted. Are there any okay areas for one to access? Seems hard to find. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather do that. Thanks!

My faithful assistant and I have been sidelined with covid. But we felt good yesterday so we decided to explore a creek in Austin, Texas that has some Eagle Ford Shale exposed. It was a sunny, warm afternoon, and a cold front would be moving in at night. At this location we've found quite a few teeth in the loose rocks strewn about. We're hoping to find mosasaur material but we've had no luck yet. Our goal was to get a bucket of gravel to search for micro-fossils. I suspect most of the teeth are eroding from the underside of a large rock slab in the creek. We think this

Found this little clam type full mold in NJ Cretaceous stream (not Big Brook). First time I've found a shell mold like this there. Reminds me of the Coquina clams in the undertow along the Jersey beaches in the summer. Any info on what it's nomenclature may be? Fun highlight of the day outside of the common shark teeth.

I'm wondering what the rounded fossil might be? The place it was found contains mostly sand, and smaller shark teeths here and there. I think later createous? Really small shark teeth sometimes, not more than 2-3 mm sometimes. The rounded fossil is about 1cm on the long side. It might just be a pebble, or a fish tooth or a gastric stone, or a miss-grown shark teeth? I really don't know? I'll add some of the shark teeths for reference so you guys know the setting it was found in.

Dear members, here I want to present my latest hunting trip, in the south east of France. This region has been known for decades to geologists for the vas amount of outcrops of Cretaceous age. In fact, there's even a GSSP and a stratotype section. Since most of these areas are protected, I checked where I could collect fossils freely. A famous spot for collectors is Carniol, located 125 km (77 mi) north of Marseille. Here, Aptian (Early Cretaceous) clays crop out and fossils can be easily collected by hand or with a small tool. A view of the outcrop: Fossil

Went to explore the creek with my family to enjoy a beautiful, peaceful day. My hubby found a tooth in the creek bed that cuts into Cretaceous clay and I initially thought it was a shark tooth but not like any I had seen before. Also, found something with crosshatched markings and was wondering if it is a fossil or just an erosion pattern on a stone. Thanks for taking a look.(Hands look like fossils)This measures about an inch across

I have no idea what this is. My 4 year old says it's an ear. I found it today while walking in a streambed, so it's still a little wet. The first 4 pictures are with flash because it's cloudy today. The last 2 are without flash.

This little guy has been floating around. Is this a composite Hyphalosaurus? Part of the head looks to be, but the body looks decent in my opinion. What do you all think?

Monday was Labor Day, a holiday. I was going to be off work and home alone. I woke up early for a day off really motivated to get up and get out to the North Sulfur River (NSR), but I was feeling a bit lazy. I didn’t want to wear myself out too much. I am on call all week and being worn out isn’t a good way to start being on call if you have to stay up all night working. I had not been out to the NSR since June, because I nearly did myself in last trip with heat exhaustion. I had plenty of fluids, but the 100 degree heat with no shade was too much for me. Anyway, the weather on Monday was

Greetings, I came across this one tonight and thought it resembles a Goblin shark tooth. Found it in a very congested area of the creek with plenty of small rocks and shale around. Travis county

I have dozens of these things. They are all over the spoils pile. Maybe I've been staring at my books too long, but for the life of me I can't find a name. This should be an easy one. Cretaceous pelecypod form the C and D Canal, Mt Laurel formation, Delaware

Please help identify the four objects in the attached pictures. I thin the shark teeth is the Otodus appendiculatus or Cretalamna Appendiculata. I am unsure on the 'shell' and the two remaining objects. Perhaps, they are the fangs of the Enchodus Sp? All were found at the Frankstown Fossil Site (W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park) in Frankstown, MS. Thanks for your help.
