Hello, i have a question. I want to know what was the first fossil you ever found and with wich fossils your collections stardet. I'll begin : My first fossil that i ever found was a beautiful brachiopod that i found while hiking in poland at the age of 4. Sadly it was stolen in kindergarten, and it was never Seen again... The first fossil in my collection then was a Spinosaurus tooth, because Spinosaurus was my favourite dinosaur at the time.

Hello my 9 year old son loves finding unique rocks, fossils, bones, etc. Can anyone tell me if these are any types of fossils? We’re located in Ruidoso, NM, our property has a lot of sandstone in some areas. Thanks

I know I am a little late to showcase my favorite find of the year, but I still wanted to show you all because I was so proud of it! I found a bunch of great fossils this past year, including some petrified wood (with tree rings present!), Tetragraptus Approximatus, a hadrosaur tooth, and more, to name a few. However, none were better than the Edmontosaurus metatarsal I found in the Hell Creek formation during my time in North Dakota. Hadrosaurs are my favorite, so it was an incredible moment to find something so remarkable and be my favorite too! I would love to hear/see some of your favorite finds from 2022! Here is to some great finds in 2023!

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this! I've recently started watching videos from several popular YouTube channels that walk along beaches etc looking for fossils. I'm very new to this all, are these videos highly edited/even fake or is it actually possible to spot crab concretions or find trilobite fossils on a normal day out at the right place? Thanks in advance! I just know a lot of stuff these days is faked for viewership

I found this while searching fields for arrow points. It was near a creek in the heart of Ohio. It looks like a bone but older than anything I’ve ever found. Any help identifying it would be much appreciated!

Hey all and a merry Christmas! I spent Christmas day at the beach with family and my partner found something on the beach which we would like to know more about. Can anyone ID this? There are a couple of broken bits allowing a cross section view. It almost looks like a mineral deposit...? Can anyone provide some input? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know any good- well honestly any accessible fossil formations in northern Georgia? Looking to set up a fossil hunting trip (haven't been able too because of school) and I have a few spots in mind. Though, I was wondering if anybody had tips or locations. Thanks- Logan -
I found this rock on the edge of the hill in my backyard in Helotes, Tx. The previous heavy rains have exposed a lot on my hillside. I am in sure what the wood looking pieces are in pictures 3&4. If anyone is familiar, that would be great.

Hello everyone. I am here due to a recent purchase of a egg or something petrified? I am currently working on a waterfall project in my back yard and have been collecting Rocks / Stones for it and I remembered a friend years ago had said they found a dinosaur egg? I thought, what better thing to have for my waterfall for a conversation piece than a dinosaur egg! Long story short I bought from my friend and now am very curious what it is? Egg? Turtle? I have heard both so I here to find out and explore all of your findings as well. Will post my find next. Pleased to meet you! Chuck

I found two bones off the Oregon coast in the Nye / Astoria formation, both Miocene around 15 - 20 million years old roughly. The formation has yielded demostylians. cetaceans (dolphins, sperm whales, baleen whales etc.) and pinnipeds (seals, sealions etc.) I know looked at a few images of sea lion and seal flipper bones. NOPE Then I moved on to cetacean and it matches the thickness and shortness of the bone I have. (these bones are worn but I believe they still hold most of their original shape. This is not some weathered rib, it has a shape which is hourglass like not due to the ocean but the original form of the bone. a tumbled rib would never have an arch but would rather be declining in one direction, not on both sides, exactly like a pectoral flipper digit.) So I am fairly certain I am in the cetacean family. I know I won't get past here as its not likely to get a species from two digit bones. But I do believe that I can find whether it is in the order of cetacea.
