My fossilized bivalves seem to be turning gold in some areas, and some parts have chipped off . Is this "pyrite disease"? Is it due to being on wooden shelving? I wouldn't say my climate is particularly humid. My great uncle gave these five to me when I was seven, so they are special and I would like to save them None of my other fossils or minerals are exhibiting these signs?

Any help is so greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

What is the best way to work sediment pieces without completely destroying everything? There are two spots in my backyard that my dog constantly digs at. Both of them are in different ares of my concrete porch, within about six feet of each other. Below is a piece that I removed recently.

Hello all! I went on a trip and have a large amount of crinoids. Is there a way to clean and prepare them for display? I have looked all across the internet to try to clean them, but my research has shown no results.Thanks !

This Is my first post. I am a amateur hunter from south Louisiana. I have had a lot of trouble finding fossils. I have found one chrinoid in a creek, but aside from coral,nothing has been found.I have found that the two prominent spots from the days of past have been covered long ago. I also realize I in a area with not a lot of potential for ground or creek fossils. I have done one trip, and found plenty there, but that was a long drive to Texas. I have even emailed people such as LSU and Alabama professors and geologists from Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee. Help please!

Hello again Fossil friends! I have another fossil I need help with. Found with other shell and coral fossils in a river shore in north eastern Kansas, most likely Pennsylvanian. It looks to be maybe a sponge with exterior and interior... structure? Couldn't figure this one out. Maybe someone with more knowledge can ID it for sure.

Hello everyone - I'm a new member, and although I don't know much about fossils, I did find this on Morris Island, South Carolina, in 2015. I haven't been able to properly identify it, and I was wondering if someone could help me? It is about 1.25 inches (3.18 cm) in length and width. Thank you!

Here is what I believe to be a portion of a dinosaur jawbone found in an Upper Cretaceous portion of the Morrison Formation of N. America (sorry if that area is a bit vague). I have other fossilized bits found with it I will be adding to this post soon. Thanks for your ideas on this one.

Hi everyone, I want to start by saying I am new to the site, so I apologize if I do something incorrect commit a faux pas. I am a younger gentleman in college living in North Carolina; my father instilled a love for fossils in me from a young age, and as I grew up I would explore beaches and phosphate piles. Even though it is just a hobby, I put a lot into fossil hunting; my interest was always beyond the surface level of "I love shark teeth," and I have done countless hours of research. This brings me to the present day where I call your wisdom and guidance. Unfortuna

Hi everyone, I recently got a couple teeth as a gift and was able to identify some but these were a harder nut to crack. The biggest (the dark one on the left) is about 4-5cm. This one also feels extremly light for its size so it might be fake. Any help with these would be appreciated!
