Hello all! I was out and about this weekend and came across this unique piece. At first I thought it was limestone, but it is to dense and has a porous feel to it. I found this in SE South Dakota down and old tractor road. I am wondering if it is fossilized coral or ??? What do you think? Thanks for your time in advance!

This is a strange piece. It looks somewhat like teeth. It has the appearance of sea anemones with the columnar bodies. I acquired it from a friend in Florida that digs in the Sarasota county area. I'm clueless on this one. It is heavy and dense. Is it simply lava?

Hello! I was just sifting through some old stuff and found a peculiar rock that I had discovered when I was a child in a stream somewhere in Massachusetts. I was wondering if this resembles a meteorite? I attached some pics if those might be of help. It's quite a heavy stone, maybe a pound or more. I'm interested to hear what you all think whether real or not!

I found this in Queens, New York. I love to search regions for artifacts. When I picked this up it was too heavy to be a plain rock or piece of wood. It weighs 1 pound 1.2 ounces and is about 5 1/2 inches long. I took plenty of pictures which I will post. Any ideas about it I will be happy to read. Thank you for your time.

Found on Holden Beach, North Carolina along the shoreline. The beach is currently being dredged and renourished from a couple miles off the coast and it’s possible this item came through the dredges. Has a strange webbing like pattern throughout which is why I kept it. Appears to be pourous and has weight but is not super heavy for its size. Is this just a rock or something else?

Hi Guys, I find a fair amount of these rocks/conceptions in one of the streams I hunt in. They are very dense and appear as if they are melted. I took some home and found they are magnetic. Any name for these? Thanks, John

This cylindrical object came from my neighbor whose mother was an avid artifact and rock collector. She had no idea what it was or when her mother found it but it was a long time ago up in the area of Carey, Idaho, on her mother's private property. The object is cylindrical with a small sway toward the middle of it. It is 4' tall and approximately 2 3/8" at the widest point. It is stone or clay colored uniformly aside from the ends where it has a brownish gold tinge and shows circles in the center of each end. It is very heavy given its size and seems dense it weighs 1 lb 6.1 oz. Any help would be appreciated on this one.

Is this possibly a plant fossil or something else? Found in Ohio river, north central area. The small dot like marks on this rock are similar to other marks I’ve found on other rocks in the same area. Just wondering what it could be or how it was formed? Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure that this is pyrite/copper ore or "peacock ore" but not exactly. It is very dense and heavy. About 5 inches by 2 wide.

I found this fossil as a doorstop at a retirement home in Centennial Colorado. Could not believe it was a doorstop. The former owner had moved into the Alzheimer's unit and left it behind. No background on it AT ALL. Sorry about that.
