These all appear the same to me, and I think that makes all of them stingray tail spines? [It comes from an estate collection I acquired last year, all unidentified but labeled as coming from Edisto Beach, SC on dates ranging from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. ]

Please be patient as I learn how to do this. Here is the fossil that should have gone with that info: I believe this is a mammal tooth (maybe Raccoon?) but it appears broken so that may impact identification. [It comes from an estate collection I acquired last year, all unidentified but labeled as coming from Edisto Beach, SC on dates ranging from the late 1970s through the early 1990s.]

I am new to Fossil Forum, and want to test a few initial ID posts to see if I am including the right info and capturing sufficiently-clear photos. Here are two fossils, both of which I think may be (toothed whale?) vertebra. They come from an estate collection I acquired last year, all contents of which were unidentified but labeled as coming from Edisto Beach, SC on dates ranging from the late 1970s through the early 1990s.

A 280 million year old fossil that purportedly showed early reptile development and supposedly showing rare soft tissue preservation has been shown to be paint over a carved skeleton..... Even museums can be fooled I guess. The should have posted it here in the us it real section first I guess! https://phys.org/news/2024-02-paleontological-analysis-renowned-fossil-thought.html

Hello. I'm a new member here and thought I would share a fossil fish mosaic I made. I looked and searched but didn't see anything like it. There is nothing for scale but it is 2'x3'. I usually just look at a photo of a fossilized one I like and then create it how I think it should look. That is part of why I am here, for research so I can add realism to my art. The other part is I like fossils. 8-). I also do metal sculpture. Thank you for looking. Scott

Hello, may I know what this is? It comes from Xinjiang, China. This is the only information I know. I asked for help on the forum on behalf of my friend. Is it a dinosaur tooth attached to minerals? Or fossil fruits of plants? Just a guess. Thank you! mmexport1707968651024.mp4

Hi there! This was found by my son several years ago when he went for a wee in the bushes. Was in Battersea park (London) about 10 metres from the River Thames. Any thoughts as to what type of animal or era? Many thanks!

I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Morocco last year in May and tour the wonderful geology of the country. This will be a very short recap of the experience because frankly there are just too many things to share. For starters, the culture is fantastic. Morocco consists primarily of the Berber people and they are some of the friendliest people I've encountered. Very welcoming and ready to share some tea with you. Tea is by far the most common thing you will drink in country. I'm quite certain there were days that I had tea at least 8 separate times, and the tea was fantastic. If you've never had Moroccan tea then you are missing out (the mint tea in particular is wonderful). The cuisine is beyond amazing, and there honestly wasn't anything in country that I didn't like. Trying to replicate some of the foods has been a challenge (my tagine is getting close), but I suppose that just means I'll need to return some day. The country is also very safe throughout. As a solo female traveler, I felt comfortable at all times and was not concerned. However you should know that few people speak English. The most common languages people know are Arabic, French, and Berber, so there was some language barrier but as with most things, it was doable. My arrival to Morocco began in Marrakech where I was met by my guide who drove me out of the city, through the Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass at 2200m in elevation. Eventually we made our way to Tamdahkte and I stayed at a wonderful riad that was (as I would come to find out) quite open air just as most riads and buildings are in Morocco. On the way we stopped at a salt mine and walked through.

I found an insect fossil and wasn't sure of what kind of insect it was. It was from Colorado Florissant. It was to bad that it was on a very small piece, so the back end was missing ( as well the first half is very rough and broke). But the good half was nicely detailed. Will post both halves and different zoom of good half. #1 (first half) (this is the rough/broke half) #2 (second half with measure) #2 (second half different angle and closer) #2 (second half closer on head)

Hey all, I'm a newbie and would like to ask if someone here on this forum will please assist me in I.D.ing my fossil finds 😊 I've done some research but I'm still learning. I'll post a few different fossils here but with list them by # (please refer to the # when responding). Specifics on fossil types would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated. Firstly, I apologize that I didn't have a ruler when I snapped the pics. I'll do my best to include measurements listed with the pics below. All Fossils were found in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, Wamsutta Formation, Exposure w/ red shale. Thanks in advance! 😉 #1 - Thick flat red shale rock, measures about 6 inches high x 5 inches wide with what appears to be FAINT impressions of ferns throughout as well what looks like a round shaped leaf in the bottom right corner. Very hard to photograph since they're hard to see! What am I looking at here? #2 - Interesting find between split shale layer. Rock Measures about 3 inches long. 1 side is negative impression, other is positive. It's very interesting, but what is it?! #3 - This piece of red shale measures about 3 inches long and has bumps all over it. Bark? Curious what someone thinks made this impression. #4 - Small red shale fossil measures 1 inch wide. Not sure if it's a type of grass fossil. #5 - Another tiny piece of red shale. Measures 1 inch long. Another plant?
