Hi there. I found this in the Alberta badlands while walking. Just wondering if it's something cool or junk?

Location: Greece, Crete, Chania coast (NW Crete) Context: beach, in sand Date found: July 2023 Size: 11,5 cm * 8 cm * 3,5 cm Hi! We have found what we think is a fossilised oyster and we want help either confirming or rejecting this. What do you think? is it an oyster? Is it a fossil? How old? What else do you know or think? //Piranhas

We found a large molar in our flower bed after our landscaper dropped off some river rock. It looks very similar to a Bison molar from our @Harry Pristis sampler. The color makes me think it is recent but it feels almost as heavy as Harrys remineralized tooth.

Can anyone help me with identification of this item? I found it washed up on Pensacola beach. I love the beautiful pattern on it. It almost has the look and feel of wood yet I'm in certain of what it is. Thanks so much Jenni

Just unwrapped this one and doesn't look like much but that's from an uneducated perspective.

What species could this tooth belong to and is it actually a fossil?
nika posted a topic in Fossil ID
As far as I can tell, this is a single rooted tooth. I am not sure if this is old enough to count as a fossil, but since it is so dark in colour I suspect it is at least not brand-new. It is not very pointy, so it doesn´t look like a carnivore tooth to me. On the picture I think the sequence of the the positional relationship from front left to bottom right is labial, palatinal, mesial, distal. I'm leaning towards a mandibular incisor. It was found on a glacial freshwater lake in Germany. The right side of the scale is in cm. I would be grateful if anyone has an idea about the owner of this tooth, or could point me in a good direction on how to further narrow it down.

Here’s an oddball specimen that turned up on lake Champlain in Clinton county, New York, USA. The relationship between the ridges and the circles reminds me of counter septarian, but the scale seems off, and some of the circles overlap(??). Also the textures give the impression of a sheared-off surface rather than a weathered surface typical of counter septarian finds. Any insights?

Wondering if I can get some help to ID this. It seems like something but I'm still learning about fossils in this area and am not sure if what I'm seeing are indications that it could be a fossil. The curved shape, slight ridge, and raised bumps make me think it could be a partial, weathered ammonite, but I don't see a the signature shell pattern of an ammonite. That being said, I know there there are different species of ammonite and not all have the shell pattern. The cross section at the break and the textured surface is interesting as well. It's sometimes difficult to tell from photos, but any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi everyone! i’m new here and 1st of all, i need to say that i am not a fossil collector or hunter. i’m just a curious guy who stumble on fossils (or what looks like one) from time to time while camping in remote places on the northern east coast of Canada. Not sure if i should ask about what i think might be a fossil here or not. Anyway i will post here 1st and will be more then happy to repost in another thread if i’m asked to ——— So i found that strange marking on a rock near the waters edge of the St-Lawrence River. I took that picture on the Ile aux Lièvres in the middle of the river near Rivière-du-Loup in Quebec, Canada. It is approximately 1.5-2in across. is that a fossil or no? And if it is, what could it be? Thanks in advance

Hi I found this one a beach England, I know nothing around fossils but it stood out as looks really like a tooth, due to fuel colour, one for where the root may have been when in the gum and one for the actual tooth. It’s shaped very much like a teeth (on display) I have seen before so got me interested. mid I could have this identified that would be really cool.

Found this in Indiana Dunes National park! I left it there of course because you aren’t allowed to take anything. I was wondering if this could be some sort of stem indentation or just a silly looking rock? thanks!!

Found near the Organ Mountains in Las Cruces NM. The area is around 36 million years old putting it in the Eocen epoch. But to be fair I found it near a state park trail that many people frequent, near but not on. It is around 4 centimeters in length by about 2.5 centimeters at it's widest. Happy Father's Day!

Hi, all. I found this on a beach in Maryland and thought it might be something cool. Or just a rock. Started googling around and found you all! I'm an absolute beginner. Let me know what you think. Happy to answer any questions.

Hello! I’m wondering what is happening with this rock. It looks like a shell or crinoid to me - but what is that “flat” smooth area to the left? Is it also part of a shell or coral?
-
Hi Everyone! I’m new to searching for fossils, and I’ve been enjoying myself so far. I wanted to see if anyone could identify any of the things I found. I am familiar with what crinoids looks like, but I’m not so sure about others. All of these were found off Lake Ontario. #1 #2 #3 #4 one side #4 the other side #5 - and, my favourite

Really not sure if this even qualifies as a fossil but here it is. It was wrapped very well inside a bin. Any thoughts? pictures may not show it but it has gorgeous color .

Hello, my name is Crystal and I'm new here. I love rocks and hiking. So, after work yesterday I went on a hike and found what to me appears to be a tooth or a claw that is stone now. Anyone have any ideas for me? I am from Ruidoso, NM. I was hiking on the side of a mountain near a couple of den that were inside the rocks on the cliff side. We are known for having bears and mountain lions here now. I do not know what type of mammals were here before. I'm pretty sure we were under water once upon a time as well. Just thought someone here may be able to enlighten me
