Found some weird textured rock and some shark teeth where I found big vertebrae which k believe is in woodbine formation. any ideas if this is skin etc? more than likely just fossilized cracked mud. but thought I would see. I found shark teeth in immediate area also. think someone posted on here the teeth I found pretty much with this patterned rock or fossil were saw tooth shark.

I'm working with Dr David Campbell on possible fossils found associated with the Murphy Marble Fm in Western North Carolina. In 1973. Don Hathaway was logging cores at the Nantahala Limestone Quarry when he found what looked to be organic remains in a couple of cores cut into the Murphy Marble Fm. The age of the Murphy Marble is enigmatic, because of the lack of fossils in it, and it doesn't have the minerals that could be used to determine radiometric ages. The metamorphic grade of the marble and associated formations are garnet to staurolite grade. It's believed that these units were metamor

First fossil finds - The Warren, Folkestone - Need help ID’ing
CrazyDrain posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi Everyone, Hoping to have some help finding out what these are (appreciate that some these will probably just be some random rock or stone). First picture is just the results from a couple of times going around the rocks or beach at the Warren, Folkestone which I don’t think is terrible for not really knowing what we are doing! The up close ones i’m not entirely sure what they are if anything at all! Also for reference thats a 2p coin don’t think that its obvious to see. any thing else can help you help me let me know and tha -

Hi I'm New here & New To Fossil hunting. I'm not sure if I have found any fossils yet but I have 2 piece I would like to get some opinions on if they are indeed fossils. FYI I live in Macon Georgia. Both of these to me look like part of a reptile of some sorts head. I would really appreciate it anything anyone could tell me even if it's that it's just a plain rock as my husband says. Thank you so much for your time.

So I went to Lost River, WV (Needmore formation) during the fall. I just recently found time to go through the material some more, set up photos, edit, etc. Brachiopod impression? As with the other brachiopods, I’m hoping for genus-level identification. Brachiopod. Any ID’s on its genus? This… Thing. I’m guessing its a brachiopod. But I could also see it being the eye of a trilobite. This brachiopod flaked right off the matrix! Any ideas as to what genus it belongs to? Hmmmm this was clearer

These come from limestone quarries in central Iowa, near Springville, which appear as crushed gravel for roadbeds. My sister picks these up on her walks and wonders if these are the result of volcanism, or fossils, or what? My friend and fellow fieldtripper Kent Budge gives the following explanation, but suggested that we post here to get the insights of real experts. “These are chert nodules that are formed by microscopic plankton called radiolarians, which are little microorganisms that pull silica out of sea water to make their shells, less than 1/16”. They can pull a lot of silica

Possible fossil and fossil,Artifact or natural rock formation
MoRockHunter posted a topic in Fossil ID
Both found in southwest missouri, the larger rock for some reason makes me think of a tooth so I wonder if it could be a piece of a tooth from some huge type of extinct animal but I don't know maybe it's just a rock? The smaller rock made me think ARTIFACT and man made but because the smaller indentions are smooth but the center circular spot is more rough like broken off from something.....actually after just looking it over again I'm pretty sure it's an artifact but I don't know what it was? Or what it was used for? Any help identifying these 2 objects would be greatly ap -

Among other stuff (not many shark teeth) found a few puzzling pieces. Picked up what I though was a piece of turtle shell, but now think it might be a broken geode with black crystals? The second could also be a rock, it is solid too, but has roughly parallel columns, a few trucated, a few lost. Any ideas? (sorry for the scanner photos, not as flat as small teeth)
