Hey there everyone! I haven't been on in some time but I've just started unpacking my stuff from a move and I came across this fossil that I found in the fall of last year. I found it in an eroding gravel cliff that I frequently find Coleraine formation deposits in. This fossil is one of the handful that I haven't been able to identify. Whatever it is, it's one of the larger fossil/casts that I've found. Any help would be appreciated!

The first is only about 1 and a half inches long while the second is closer to 3 and a quarter. Certificates are attached to help narrow it down. I'm trying to make little info plaques for my display case so any additional info is welcome!

Found in Martin Kentucky, Middle Pennsylvanian, Hayden Formation. I thought I found a geode the other day so cut it open. The surrounding material got a somewhat mirror shine from the cutting tool (I assume iron rock). However when I hit it with a hammer and it cracked open I found this inside. It looks, to me, like a small fish or plant. I have no idea if this is even a fossil, so any help would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

So I’ve just come back from the Barack and clean up what I found (removed all sand and gunk) and I had come across some shells, unusual crystals (probably quartz) and a fossil leaf and stem imprint (for size the red shell is around the size of the average hand) If anyone has any info on any of these would be a big help

I bought this very, very cheap from someone who claims it came from the Hell Creek formation. They both claim it to be a triceratops fragments and hadrosaur. They found it in the 90s. That is all the information I have unfortunately. I have my doubts that it is even bone. Any help to identifying at, the very least, if this is even bone would be awesome. If this is bone I do not expect a proper identification of species because it's so small. Thanks in advance. Note: I did my best with the magnifying shots, my hands shook a bit. Also I might have posted this to the wrong forum. Sorry about that. Edited to remove ramblings.

I'm currently in a dried out creek in Floyd County Kentucky and have found this--thing. It's about 4.5 cm wide and 5 cm long. It kinda looks like something, part of a fish or leaf maybe. The area is mostly carboniferous. I'm just wondering if this is anything I should bother with as the rock it's on is about 60 pounds.

Found this rock/fossil on a beach in Northumberland, England. I did not break it open. This is as found. Although dull I believe the reverse side contains Pyrite. Any help in identifying is appreciated

Seller said this was probably a reptile toe bone. I was just curious to know if any more info could be gleaned from it? Measurements in imperial. Thanks!

We need some help identifying these fossils found on Amelia Island, Florida

Hello! I recently had the chance to return to my favorite fossil collecting location in Monmouth County (Holmdel) and came across some things that were unfamiliar to me. Could you please help me with identification? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! 1. I think this may be a tooth from some mammal. Perhaps not a fossil? There are lots of farms and wild deer in the area. 2. This one is embedded in a sedimentary matrix. It looks chitinous to me, so maybe it is related to ghost shrimp? 3. I have no idea what these could potentially be. Thank you so much!

Hey! Wanted some outside input on what these teeth could be- the first four photos are my attempts at identifying them but more opinions would be greatly appreciated, as I'm still learning. Especially for the splotchy off-white tooth. All of these were found in 2016 in the W. M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park. Many thanks!

I recently found a fossil in my backyard and I’m not sure what it could be. I live in a place where the bedrock dates back to the Devonian. Hopefully this will be the only fossil id that I’ll ever do. Front Back Left Right Top Bottom If you notice in the front, top, and right images, there is a brachiopod mold, which means the fossil was either from the shoreline or from underwater. I also think that, at this point, the fossil comes from the lower Devonian.
