This is a flint from Poland. Age: Malm/Cretaceous/Danian. What do you think? Reminds me of Neotrigonia or Pholadomya or a cardiid.

From the album: Best of 2017 finds - a year in review
Flint Echinocorys Gravesii from Veulette sur Mer - Normandy - France - Coniacian - collected in may 2017 -
Found this while fossil hunting in Lyme Regis U.K. I’m pretty new to this and stumped so if anyone can help me figure out what it is...

Hi, I found this specimen in a place I usually find ammonites, nautilus and sea shell. I'm not sure what this is, even not if this is actually a fossil... The matrix, and the outer part of the specimen itself is limestone while its interior is flint. I tried to carefully remove some of the matrix using a cp engraving pen... but the more I uncover it the less I understand what it is I'm looking at... and I'm really curious :-) I've attached a colleague image with pictures I took from different angles... Anyone has an idea? I'd like to hear from you! Thanks...

Found this on my morning hike up the Frio River bed and it looks to be solid flint but something tells me there might be something interesting inside of it. I’m not real knowledgable on what geodes look like but it’s about the size of a large canteloupe and fairly heavy. Has a layer of petina forming around it.

Hello All, I found this as a boy in southern Indiana in the 50's. It was a loose piece, possibly found on the banks of the Ohio River about 10 miles north of Louisville, KY. The darker stone appears to be a flint like material. Being a young boy, I naturally hit it with a hammer revealing the cross sections shown. The second photo is the upper piece from the first photo and the third photo is the lower piece. It is just so symmetric that I don't think it is a naturally occuring piece. I have been curious about what this is for decades. Any ideas? Thanks, Ed

Hello there friends, This looks and feels like something to me. The brown material inside is flint, the white is limestone. found on Moni beach any thoughts?

I picked up this pebble on Hove Beach (Sussex, UK). Is the egg shape within it part of the natural stone, or some sort of fossil? The shape is 24mm long. Hove Beach pebbles are mostly flint and brought from the west by long-shore drift. This pebble appears to have had a surface knocked off.

Hello I found this recently and would like to ask for help in identifying what it might be I think it might be a tooth but not sure ?? Thanks matt
-
I'd love to know what this might be. So if anyone has any ideas, please offer them up. It was found around Giddings, Texas near a whole lot of petrified wood. The consistent response is that it's a small piece of a very worn mammoth tooth, but I just don't think so. The middle of it seems to have a flint-like quality. Thanks.

This is something I picked up in Panshanger Park, just outside Hertford (the original one in UK). The site is a former gravel extraction pit now converted into a nature reserve, although the item came off a maintained path with what could well be an imported stone surface. Any Ideas?

A trip to Haute Normandie (France) cretaceous cliffs ( The plasterers' balad )
elcoincoin posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A trip to Haute Normandie cretaceous cliffs ( The plasterers' balad ) - Part 1 During three days we travelled along the Haute Normandie coast. The area we ventured in is cretaceous : cenomanian (-99 MA), turonian (-93 MA) and coniacian (-89 MA), following the west to east dip. Day 1 : Antifer We met in Saint-Jouin de Bruneval, on the beach parking lot next to the oil terminal. We started the trip at 9 am, so we could hike quite far before the tide would stop us. Sky was shiny and quite fast the temperature started to rise. We mostly spent the morning looking for fossils in cenomanian boulders and chalcedonies among the peebles. We let the tide lock us and made a break for a picnic and a nap. Once the tide let us, we started again to look for fossils, under a scorching heat. At about 6 pm we made our way back to the cars. The beach which was empty in the morning was now overcrowded. We mostly found some irregular echinoids : crassiholaster and catopygus (some with a really nice preservation), some brachiopods, some bivalves (most fragile) (including nice rastellum) and 2 shark teeth. Here's a geoligical presentation of the area (in french unfortunately) http://craies.crihan.fr/?page_id=13478 Some of my finds on that day : heres a link a my flickr galery for the whole trip : https://www.flickr.com/photos/48637020@N06/albums/72157682540354264 Crassiholaster subglobosus Crassiholaster subglobosus Crassiholaster subglobosus with a smal bivalve print Catopygus colombarius more to come soon...- 11 replies

I found this interesting fossil today while walking along the beach at Seaham on the Durham coastline in North East England and I was wondering if anyone has any idea to what it is. The fossil is on a flint nodule which was picked up from the tideline of the beach. the rock shown is roughly around 40mm by 30mm with the fossil being around 15mm across.

Yesterday I did find another interesting stone at a fishing trip. (I fish alot, and when no fish to catch I collect stones :-)) It's Flint stone with a White layer of Chalk/opal - est. 65-200 Ma. Please help me ID the Fossil - if it is a Fossil ? What do you think? Pictures taken from to sides of the stone. Best regards, Jens

I found this piece of flint at the Beach last week. I'm not sure what it is - and just wondering it might be a fossil. If you have any idea what is it and how old it is, please let me know. :-)

While visiting family, my cousin showed me a fossil he collected at the coast when he was a child, cracking rocks to see what he could find. They spent a lot of time on the Jurassic coast, but also went to places like Hunstanton, which have Cretaceous layers. I'm really not sure what this is, but it's something in a flint nodule. Could it be a bryozoan?

Hi all, This is from the central Negev area in Israe. About 30mm in diameter. If needed I can upload more photos from different angles. Many thanks, Oz

Hi I am a fossiling addict!I live a few miles from the English channel in the South Downs.Post glacial action and the formation of the English channel mean you can find virtually all time erasI.Just a few miles away is the Isle of Wight from where Jurassic finds are washed over.I like using a digital microscope to study inside the flints.

Hi there I am a 35 year old man from County Antrim in N. Ireland. A while back, while walking along the shore I found a piece of flint that I thought looked "worked". I found this really fascinating and have been bitten by "the bug". I always keep an eye out when I am out with my Son, for possible worked stone or fossils. I came across a flint rock that has a faint outline that looks almost insect like to me?I hope someone might be good enough to have a look for me? Any feedback or advice appreciated!Regards, Jonathan Front

From the album: Isle of Sheppey Eocene
This is a nice little flint echinoid found on the Isle of Sheppey. This specimen has most likely migrated to the island from another area around Kent as flint fossils are not normally found at this location. -
Mesozoic od Poland. Echinoid test? Eggshell? Reptile osteoderm? Coral, sponge, bryozoan?
