Can someone please help me identify these? I found them in a gravel in Belgium.

Hello, fossil friends! I'm a first-time poster to the forum. I've had this little fellow for several years now. I found it hanging out among the gravel decorating an apartment complex in the southwestern United States; Tucson, Arizona, to be specific. I cannot explain why it was there, unless it was somehow ignored as a rock, or discarded by someone who no longer wanted it, but all the same, I was aware of the general shape of an ammonite, and brought it home with me because, well, its spiral was pretty! There are several dry rivers about the area, but I know next to

Found in south Mississippi? What could it be?

Found in south Mississippi in a new driveway of gravel. Please help identify

Yesterday we had heavy rainfall in Charleston. Rainfall is of course one of the natural elements that erodes the material surrounding fossils. We know that some fossils become exposed to the earths surface due to rain. In Charleston, good areas to search after a hard rain are shores, river edges, creeks, gravel beds, and excavation sites. Dredge piles are also good search areas. There is a particular area on Folly Beach which has a significant amount of dredge material. It would be a good area to search today or tomorrow at low tide. I suggest you search here between 10am and 2pm (low tide). T

Bottom is the size of a Kennedy Half Dollar. Found in a river bed of the Los Padres Nat'l forest in Southern California. Have found other fossils here in the past. Mostly clam shell fossils. Thanks! Dave

So you know those spots of cobbles and gravel they use for landscaping around the grocer's and such? I found this outside our local Kroger clone here in Nebraska a few years ago...and have been perplexed ever since. Here is a mystery concretion fossil(?) I've been pondering for a long time: Truthfully when I first saw it, I thought meteorite? Botryoidal hematite? Then I flipped it over and thought, "There is no way this should be here." It doesn't make sense. I'm not even certain this is a fossil, but the microscope tells me it very likely is. I have se

I have been spreading's and shaping some gravel on a road lately. This morning I noticed a few stray stones that needed to be raked away. Seeing that I had just roped down a load of brush over the rake, I decided to just pick the largest few by hand. This caught my eye as I reached for the first one. Am I crazy, or is this a piece of a mastodon tooth ?

In a piece of suspected turbidite from a local, Moosehead Lake, Maine gravel pit, I found this small fossil. Most of the formations in the area that have this look seem to be Silurian, but there are also Devonian rocks around. There were pockets of crinoid pieces in the same rock. I guess it could be a tabulate coral, but somehow the look is just wrong. Conularid maybe ?

The following pics are of one piece. It’s a small but interesting fossil found in New Orleans gravel. Can anyone ID this? Looks a little different than what I usually come across. Thanks in advance!

I am in New Orleans. All the fossils except the darker brown one came out of a bag of pond rocks from Home Depot. I think they came from a Mexico beach, but I can't guarantee The darker one I found on the bank of the Mississippi river a few miles upstream from New Orleans. Can Anyone tell me the different types I have here?

My daughter and I have been hunting on our gravel path in lockdown, and have found one with almost hair like filaments running the length of it. Any chance if an ID?
-
I hunt fossils in gravel from creeks and the likes. According to the geological survey of similar gravel the age ranges from 200-400 million years ago. I was wondering if you guys could tell me if this was an ammonite or some other sea gastropod. I've found countless other types of fossils but this is the only one like this.

I found this piece of gravel a while back with a bunch of crinoids and the pygidium of a trilobite sticking out. Been curious ever since as to what the oval with the ridge running through the center and small hole in the middle is.

found this weird stone in a gravel load from the Brazos river west of Houston Texas

These two items were found in a gravel deposit in west central Alabama, US. The larger is a bit over 1 inch long and the smaller about 1/2 inch. Can anyone help me identify what they are?

Picked up from a gravel pile at the end of a long day assessing groundwater. Marine fish or terrestrial critter? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm wondering what the fossils in this rock are. there is a large one surrounded by multiple small ones at different angles within the rock, and the fossils look very mushroom-like, although i may be wrong. The whole rock is around 2.3cm on its longest side, the largest fossil is about 1cm in diameter and the rest are all about 0.5cm or less. found in the gravel of a drive in Skegness, Lincolnshire so it may have come from elsewhere. hope to hear back

Hi, I found some interesting rocks in some gravel near downtown Indianapolis. Photo with the ruler is in inches, sorry to the rest of the world. Thanks in advance!

These are two stone oddities found in a family gravel bed. I’m not exactly sure who brought the rock or where it’s from. When I need to kill some time, I start picking up pieces and examine them. The gravel bed is in Western PA, so hopefully it’s not more than 300-500 miles from here! Ruler is mm.

Had to bring this one home from the gravel pit just in case. Typical finds are Devonian marine, but volcanics are in the mix too. Any chance it's red algae ?

Not looking for a full ID, but needing some help. My nephew brought me this piece of gravel containing some flint he found in his driveway, and it looks like on the bottom is a tiny bit of a brachiopod fossil, but I’m not 100% so I wanted to get an opinion here before I told him. Eastern Kentucky region, driveway gravel so I’m not sure of the age/strata or even where it was quarried. Thanks for your time.

I found a piece of gravel today that looked very different from the rest. Is it a fossil or is it just weathered granite? Thanks everyone!
