Color Blue Distinguished for the First Time Ever in Bird Fossils

I've had this fossil in my draw for a couple of weeks and curiosity has got the better of me and I'm dying to figure out what it is, I've researched what I believe it could be and keep reaching dead ends. Any help would be appreciated! I discovered this odd shaped fossil a couple of weeks back and I'm bewildered what it could be or could be part of. It was found either on the isle of sheppey or folkston my fossils kind of got jumbled up from the day so I can't be certain. But location might help with identification. Any help will be much appreciated!

Hello! I recently found this well-worn shark’s tooth on a beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The serrated edges of the tooth are worn down but still visible, although it’s difficult to observe in the photos. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to what species the tooth could possibly belong to? Thank you so much! Take care-

Found in a loft during renovation. Wrapped in newspaper dating 1978, looks like a reptile but not sure, can anybody identify this for me. I am not a fossil collector.

I came across these while digging bivalves and gastropods out of sandstone boulders. They look like some sort of worm-like specimen sitting on top of what appears to be a large snail fossil. I can't seem to find photos of anything that looks like these. Just hoping someone out there might know for sure what these are. Thanks

From the album: Virginia Miocene
Chesapectin nefrens Westmoland County, VA Choptank Formation Middle Miocene C. nefrens is fairly common in the Choptank Formation, but the level of sculptural detail preserved in this particular specimen just blew me away when I gently brushed off the loose sediment. -

This will be my first trip to North Carolina and am looking for suggestions and tips. I'm staying in Deep Gap (think that's the name), but totally open for driving a few hours to find some good spots. Hoping to find shark teeth and anything else i can. If anyone has any suggestions about places to go please let me know. I have a week there and want to make the most of it.

Went to Virginia a few months ago and came home with a few Chesapectin nefrens encased in solid rock. This one was only exposed as a ring of shell material in a ball of clay, calcite, iron ,broken shell and who knows what else. Normally I prep things with soft brushes, dental picks, a water pick, and very gentle fingers. That wasn't cutting it this time and I had to get aggressive. I spent 3+ hours with a rotary tool and zero practice. It's no museum piece, but it's not horrible. I could simply collect the same species, from the same member of the same formation, at a much closer spot, where the matrix is much looser, but I gotta learn sometime. Suggestions for next time?

I’ve had this one for a while, never had it identified. Thanks for input

A user over at mindat suggested to me that these samples might be some type of fossilized coral. I find them in western Colorado. If coral, any ideas of the specifics or a link to where I can find more information? If not coral, any idea what it might be? Thank you

I am having trouble posting photo, but will get in shortly.

Carcharodontosaurus tooth.

I bought it from online that's why I'm a bit suspicious.

Baltic amber and spinosaurus tooth.
anastasis008 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
So I recently got this Baltic amber and I found out that there is a test that includes water and salt and if the amber sinks then it's fake but if it floats, it's real and mine sank but I'm not sure could you please examine it yourself? And also the spino tooth if you can. Thanks

Dug this small fossil out of a sandstone boulder that was littered with bivalves and gastropod. A lot of the fossils found in the sandstone date back to the Pliocene so I can only assume it is from that period also. Thanks

Hoping to get some good input on these. I found several of these rib bones together in densely packed sand/Ash material. I’ve never seen this type of consistency in any other type of fossil. It’s almost like they turned into Sandstone material. Any idea what causes this or what type of animal they are from?

Hello all, I have recently acquired more fossilised Ostracods from here in Connecticut. All of them are very different from each other and some come in plates as hash while others are more scattered but also whole. The plates range in sizes but the ostracods are pretty much the same everywhere. Some plates also have clam shrimp. These do not seem like particularly rare pieces although I have not seen any others from the Jurassic of CT. In return I am mostly looking for any Paleozoic material but I am open to any suggestions. Thank you everyone, More pictures will follow in the comments.

I obtained a bone fossil collected from the Arkansas River in Eastern Oklahoma but not sure what it belongs to. I am including several photos from various angles. The dimensions are as follows in centimeters(cm): 16.5 cm x 9 cm (about 0.64 cm in thickness but it varies slightly). The darker brown sections appear to be the outside of the fossil while some parts are interior(?); not sure about the black portions. Any help on what it might belong to and perhaps what part of the structure would be awesome!
