Hello, Can someone tell me if this is a fossil? Found on the southern shore of Lake Erie, Pennsylvania, USA. Thanks!

I drive 8 hours with a friend to a location he remembers from his childhood as yielding a lot. Oh boy it did. 100% worth the drive. Lake Huron, among the agates, pyrite, yooperlite, has some extraordinary Devonian fossils. All fossils were collected from the beach of his family’s property except for the fenestelid bryozoan, which was found at a gas station on the way there. please enjoy this collection of gastropods, petoskey stones, various tabulate corals, crinoids, stromatoporoids, bivalves, Brachiopods, tenteculites, horn corals, an unidentified agatized fossil in jasper matrix

Found two of these fossils now. Both on beaches that are probably Devonian in age. One is from SW Wisconsin on Lake Michigan and the other is in the Lower peninsula of Michigan from the shores of Lake Huron. Organ pipe coral or some sort of burrow trace fossil? Thanks!

Found in Michigan LP. Devonian age probably? Loads of corals and other agatized fossils wash up on that beach. This is the only one I’ve found like this.

Hi all, I recently found this fossil, and I was hoping I could find some help here identifying it. I found it at Fort Sheridan in Illinois, and wasn’t expecting something that looked like it could be vertebrate. I’m familiar with the fossils with the area, and was surprised to find something like this. Any ID suggestions or suggestions for where to get it ID’d would be appreciated. Someone I talked to said it may be an amphibian/tetrapod fossil (potentially an egg) Description of fossil: small potato shaped rock with skull and thorax of specimen showing. “Feet” protrudi

This fossil was found on the beach of Lake Huron, it seems extremely old, it looks saltwater and is the most complete piece of coral I've ever found

I am trying to find information of how fish populations changed in the central USA/Great Lakes region in the last 100,000 years or so and am drawing blanks When did walleye/ Sander vitreus appear and where did it come from?. The same goes for brook trout/ Salvelinus fontinalis. Are there any good collections of fossils through the various periods of glaciation? Are there any regions where these neogene/quatrenary fish fossils are being uncovered? Where is there a literature on the subject?

So I recently found this one on a beach on Lake Erie in Canada. I was just wondering what it could be... fossil or nah? Thanks!
-
I found this rock and others like it. It feels sandy, has a few things like plant stems, leaves and seeds embedded and fossilized in it.

Hoping to find someone who knows what this is. Obviously, it's some sort of seashell but I was hoping for more specific information and opinion. I found it while snorkeling last week in Lake Huron (Straits of Mackinaw region). Thanks!

Great Lakes: Crinoid? Claw? Marine Arthropod? Bone?
InquisitiveOsteology posted a topic in Fossil ID
Maybe someone can help with a positive ID for a few things I found while walking along Lake Michigan? They are very tiny and nothing too spectacular... but it would be nice to know what I stumbled across. Thanks! 1. Tiny crinoid fossil? The side view is particularly interesting to me, because it resembles an artifact (bead) moreso than other images I found online of crinoid fossils. 2. Claw of some sort? I'm still trying to learn the grooves characteristic of various claws and teeth, so I wouldn't be surprised if I misidentified this. 3. Fossil of a marine arthropod? 4. Bone?
