Are all these denticles? Found in Mississippian aged strata. These are very tiny, they come from a part of my yard where I found a few helodus teeth. It seems to be stuck on the rock

I found what I think is a spider but wanted to ask, to be sure as they can be hard to see will and tell. As well found what I'm thinking is some kind of plant matter (or maybe grass bits) but wanted to see if anyone knew what they maybe. Fossils are from Colorado. #1 (what thinking spider) #1 (closer view) #2 (other half) #3 (first piece) #3 (closer view) #3 (closest could get) #4 (second piece) (same kind of stuff as first piece) #4 (closer view) #4 (closer view different area)

Found another bone, this one indeed is fossilized as I did the burn test and it's also very heavy and rock like. Of interest is that it is perfectly halved and the interior of the bone has been coated with some sort of brown liquid. If you zoom you can see how it absorbed into the bone. Very interesting!! Please comment if you've seen anything like this. I also found a small arrowhead on the beach and that makes 5 in 11 years all found on the beach. Delaware nation.

Found black water diving - this has several symmetrical grooves. I've never found anything like it. The color and feel of it makes me think bone. I haven’t found anything like it online, so at this point think it might be a rock: so figured I would ask here before discarding it. Found along with vertebrae and baleen whale rib bones and has a similar feel.

Hi everyone, I told y’all I’d probably be back eventually. Same place—far northwest San Antonio, TX. In my backyard, around 4 or so feet down, from the same ‘bedrock’ I’ve been ‘farming’ for a couple of years now… So, any ideas what sort of limestone this one might be? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, After a family vac in Georgia I am driving up up the East Coast by myself. Looking for any tips on places to find Megalodon teeth . I've heard some creeks in South Carolina can be good . I obviously don't expect anyone to give away their honey hole but if anyone could point me in a direction of something recently productive I would be extremely appreciative. I've done the boat ride I Tybee several times with mild success but nothing great aside from having over 300 counted misquote bites during one visit. At any rate I like to adventure and have always wanted to find a quality Meg tooth. I'll be dropping the wife and kid at the savannah airport and heading north. I'm not married to SC if someone has any suggestions I'm open. Thanks to anyone in advance. Brandon

Hi forum, while waiting for the preparation of the fossil in my other topic i started cleaning a new piece, collected in the same quarry, Solnhofen (DE) i collected it because it showed the classic depressions typical of the presence of a fossil underneath, as you can see in the first picture while digging, it keeps popping out teeth (and i'm really happy about it). can you please tell me what animal it is so i can search some pitures online and better understand the shape below the rock before keep digging? i know it is still dirty, especially on teeth, i still have hours to work on it thanks a lot Best regards Paolo

From the album: Missouri Conulariids
Hello! Here is another Conulariid I've been meaning to post for some time now. Visible nodules are present in what would have been the gastric chamber when they were alive. I believe this is a secondary effect from when the animal died and the phosphate-rich sediment went into its systems. I believe these would normally be found in the Muncie Creek but this one eroded out of the reincorporated Muncie Creek in the Paola.-

Real or fake brachiosaurus phalange
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, Im planning to buy this phalange supposedly from brachiosaurus. I asked the seller how it ended up being identified as a brachiosaurus and he said that it's because it was found in a digsite where there was nothing found there beside 2 partial brachiosaurus skeleton. This fossil was found in the morrison formation size= 6 inch wide 6 inch long 5 inch at the tallest point weights around 24 lbs/11kg- 3 replies

Hi forum, i recently went to Solnhofen quarries (DE). I found some cool pieces and an amazing little shrimp! This one piece instead is something a little new to me. It looks half bones half cartilage...i can't tell. It should be something fish-related but i can't tell, it can be something totally different. I'd like to know which part of the body it is to better understand how to continue preparation wihout damaging it. The big middle bone looks strange, very thin and transparent on the border and more thick and orange/brown in the center. same as the cartilaginous part in the left. no clue i report some flash/noflash picture also in different angles. the sand around is a little dark because it is wet. the total uncovered length is about 4cm Thanks a lot Best regards Paolo

Found this specimen in a dry riverbed near Holden Utah. There are many circular and oval like depressions throughout. Looks similar to pine cone shape and indentations or stigmaria roots. Any thoughts? Cheers. Appx. 3.5” x 4.5” @ 1.5lb

I found this rock in Michigan, USA. I was wondering what this strange looking fossil is. If it is a fossil. My original guess was a horn coral fossil, but I’m not sure.

I can’t figure out what this strange looking fossil is.
Maximus the rock hunter posted a topic in Fossil ID
This fossil looking thing is very weird. It seems as if it has white scales on it, and squares all over it. Even weirder is this stair case looking thing on the other side, probably by corrosion. But it looks like it has a cubic lattice structure but I don’t know. This was found in the USA, it was found in Michigan. -
Hi there. I found this about 30 years ago in the Kananaskis area of Alberta. I believe I was told that is was a horn coral fossil by a colleague that I worked with, when I worked at the Calgary Zoo. Can someone verify this for me? Thanks.

From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
This tooth most likely belongs to the Raytown Limestone member of the Iola Limestone formation. I found this during late March/Early April. I call this my first Peripristis tooth as I happened to find one 2 hours away from this locality a few days ago. I will upload that one later.- 4 comments

Is this complete, composite, reconstructed or fake? I am thinking definitely not fake, but always better to have second opinion. It is from Tiouraren formation, Niger. The sooner I get a reply the better, as it goes in 3 days. If needed, I can give more photos.
