Hey all! I'm new to this site, but I've been interested in fossils all my life. I kind of joined this forum on a whim since I've been doing a lot of internet surfing recently. I'm on a quest of sorts to try and find any trilobite remains in my state, (I live in Green Bay, WI) but I'm not having much luck. I've been all over the internet looking for any known collecting sites in Wisconsin. I'm well aware of places like Fossil Park in Sylvania, Ohio, and I'd absolutely love to have a chance to visit Penn-Dixie in northwest New York, but I don't really have the time, so I've been trying to find somewhere in Wisconsin that I can drive out to for a day or two. However, I haven't had much success. I've heard of some more well-known sites, but I can't really figure out if any of them are open to collecting of any kind, and I'd rather know beforehand. I've used this website (Click here) to try and narrow my search, but I can't really find much info on any of these places or what kind of fossils they may have. One of the most promising leads I currently have is Olde Stone Quarry in Door County. It's an old limestone quarry, but I'd still like to know if there's somewhere more promising for looking for trilos. Any opinions? (Summary): Anybody know of any specific places in Wisconsin where one can search for trilobites? I can't find much info on collecting. Any leads are appreciated

Hi all, I was in Italy on the Amalfi coast this past week, and stumbled across what I think may be a fossilized tooth. It looked cool so that’s why I picked it up. I could be wrong and it may be nothing. I’m hoping someone here can help me.

Found these on Amelia Island. Not sure if they are even fossils. Any help?

Found in Dahlonega, Georgia. Original origin (if different) unknown. Before I realized it was a fossil, I had aggressively scrubbed the stone with a denture brush in hopes of cleaning off the deep dirt stains. It worked, but I'm not sure if it damaged it at all. It doesn't look noticeably damaged, if it is, but I figured I'd bring it up. This rock is *most likely?* limestone & quartz but I'm not terribly confident in that answer. Any help GREATLY appreciated!! The fossil appears to be a mix of star shaped and column shaped indents, with what appear to be shells as well. There may be more (as there are a lot of similar indents that look more like closely packed dots) but I'm not sure. P.S.: If anyone has tips to safely remove the iron stains, let me know! I'd rather preserve the fossil than remove the iron, but I figured I might ask.

Big spinosaurus tooth with Pathology and serrations?
JorisVV posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Here by my new Spinosaurus Aegypticus tooth from Taouz, Morocco. It is 4 1/2 inches. The colors are less common than your regular Moroccon Spinosaurus teeth. It has 0 restoration done to the tooth, and the quality is very high. Which I find special about this one. Noticed some slight patho and serrations on this tooth too? Could someone explain the patho perhaps.

I found it around 100 yards from the beach in a forest in mid Wales I’m not really sure what it is but it would be interesting to know if anyone has any ideas.
-
Found this near the Santa Fe and I cannot decipher the origin. At first I thought it was some kind of a turtle but all the research describes a much thinner fossil
-
It looks like cartilage on the top here. Me thinking it’s a bone but I have no clue. No experience at all. Found: Tucson AZ wash

I bought it from the same seller, the solitary horn coral that had no information. Sold as Goniatites, from Morocco, If I'm not mistaken it's some kind of Manticoceras, but which ? Can anyone recognize it? @Manticocerasman @Tidgy's Dad It is 22 centimeters long

Barnacles Found Along the James River. Can They Be IDed to species?
Isopedia posted a topic in Fossil ID
Two species? Photos for specimen one are 1-7 and photos for specimen two are 8-13.

I don't know if it's some kind of solitary coral, or what it could be. The seller only attaches this photo, and in his sales comment he says that he does not know what it is, or where it comes from. Can someone recognize it? I'm waiting for a response from the seller to know the size.

Hello everyone! After looking at some findings, I spotted some stones, which look the very same. Stones, which usually should be glacial erratics! All three stones look the same. Does that mean, they came from the same place? I'd have some hope, it could be some mushrooms of some time, since they all have the very exact same built, but I think, that's not even possible? After a farmer went over the field, plowing, I found a broken stone, from which there peeped out a long, round fossil. It does not really look like the rugosa I constantly find. Does somebody know, what it could be? Maybe a scaphoboda? Another stone has some imprints on it, which I hoped to be tiny fish scales. But I assume, my hopes are too high. Does somebody have a clue, from what it could originate? Maybe aphrocallistes alveolites? The last photo is somewhat of a no fossil thing, but I keep on finding so many shells on the fields. Does somebody maybe have a theory, how they might have come so far inland? Birds maybe? Thank you in advance Noe

These minerals have no ID,any suggest ?

Hello! Today I accidentally found some stones, which I assume to be Quartz, considering, in the same region I had found normal Quartz. But both minerals look rather beautiful and I wondered, what they could be? I googled it, of course and am not sure, whether they (or one) is a Jesper and the other one a Chalcedony? I hope someone of you can help me

Hello everyone, I am a new member and i do not understand much about fossil. Although i am very pationate about them. I found this fossil myself and i would like to remove the matrix attached to the fossil. I tried vinegar and a tooth brush. It kinda worked on the top of the fossil where you can see the tiniest spirals. That method cosumed about 2 days of work and only uncovered that tiny piece of the fossil. I am also concerned that the acid frrom the vinegarr will partially destrroy the fossil. What is the best way to do this? Best Regards, Bruno
