Hi there :) I work at a cemetery and today noticed what appears to be a fossil in one of the stones around a grave. I was wondering if anyone could help me out figuring out what it is? My colleagues have apparently been talking about it for ages but havent been able to settle the matter. The "fossil" is sort of protruding slightly from the clean cut stone, which at first made me think it was some sort of family logo or even a production marker or something. But it DOES sort of look a bit like the inner bits of a squid. Though, as my name suggests, I am a complete newbie in this world. Just curious to learn Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Hi, I'm Jim Brack and retired in Georgia, USA. Just joined seeking information. Have already posted an item for ID. The only fossil hunting I do is with a credit card..... Any way, nice to be here. Thanks.

Hi I have a fossil I found while exploring an area near Dubbo NSW australia. I taught it was just petrified wood until I cleaned it and notice on one end has colour and looks like it could have fish fins on the side. The length is 300mm and width is at its widest point 180mm. It was just sitting on side of a dirt track and also has another part to it which I will pick up next time I'm out that way again. Any help in identifying what I have here would be much appreciated as I wouldn't have a clue other than what I think it is. Thanks

This was found along a gravel bar in the Missouri River in west central Iowa. Any help would be appreciated!

This was given to me many years ago by a Texas fossil hunter, of course I didn't write down what he said it was or where it came from and haven't seen anything that resembles it except my box turtle which it definitely is not. Hoping someone recognizes it and this time I will make note!

I'm really not that sure on what this fossil from Florida could be. I thought it might be something interesting with the line going through it.

Hello, I would like to share with the forum some amber specimens I possess. These fossils are encased in burmite, amber dated to ~99 million years ago. Anyone else have some?

Dactylioceras commune, Parkinsonia parkinsoni, & Protocardia truncata?
kellogg76 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found these as a child in 1983 in Burton Bradstock,Dorset (UK). While there I happened to bump into a collector who quickly looked at them and wrote me a note on his quick guess at identifying them. Can someone take a look and let me know if his estimate was correct, any help identifying them is greatly appreciated. From the Great Oolite Series ~170Mya Ammonite, probably Dactylioceras commune Ammonite, probably Parkinsonia parkinsoni - Bivalves - The ridged, triangular one possibly belongs to the Cardia group, perhaps Protocardia truncata. -
Texas, Cretaceous age. I am thinking this is a bone. Did some sanding and found blood vessel structure, can someone confirm if it is? Also, how can I tell if its dinosaur or marine reptile?
-
Just wondering if anyone can help with identifying what this is. Found in southern Alberta. Dinosaur Park formation.
-
I have no idea if this is even a fossil, but this looks unlike any rock I’ve ever seen and I’d really appreciate some clarification on what it could be? I’m pretty sure I found it in a river near Scariff, County Clare, Ireland.

Hello all, Today I found two teeth and my girlfriend 1 tooth. Could anyone help us identifying the teeth? I thought Horse and Bison or Cow. But the teeth are quite big. And the big bone (second pic) what kind of animal is it?
-
Is it from a great white? 1.5 inches and was found in Australia.
-
This rock stood out because of its unique shape and consistent thickness. Thoughts?
-
I found this walking up my creek after the water settled from several days of heavy rain.

Fish Fossils -- fake or real?
adorres posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, my girlfriend bought 2 fish fossiles. I am not sure if they are fake or not. [links removed] Do those look genuine to you? To mee they look kinda painted. best regards -
Hi all, I recovered this split tooth from Big Brook park in Monmouth, NJ (late cretaceous). I've checked a couple websites that give information on Big Brook, and I can't conclude either way if it is mosasaur or croc (or similar to a croc). I included close-ups to show enamel, and held it to show the shape of the tooth towards its root. Thanks, Steve

My question is exactly in the title, Can you identify ray teeth without locality info? I got some as a gift a long time ago and have no information on location and age and was wondering if its possible to identify to genus or even family
