First off, I am a complete beginner to fossils and also this forum and I am hoping someone with more experience can help me ID this possible fossil I found. I found it at Glen Afric in New Zealand and I know there have been some penguin species found before. Does anyone know what this could be? Its a large piece of rock, +- 20kg (40lb) and was a pain to get back to the car so hope it is something! Thanks!

Today, while cleaning my flowerbed (removing dead leaves, pulling some weeds, etc) I happened to notice a rock with an intriguing imprint that appeared to be a spiral. I immediately thought of a fossil and I'm pretty sure I'm right since rocks usually don't have 'faces' like this. The fossil is about 3cm at it's largest point and looks like either an ammonite or some sore of bivalve to me, but I'm not a palentologist by any measure, so I'd like some clearer IDing if possible. Thanks! (ps. If the fossil isn't clear enough, especially the spiral, I found that the contrast improves drastically with a quick rinse, so let me know if you can see it well enough.)

Not my field at all but am interested. Driving off road and wheels came to a halt and guess what ! Picked it up as it looked interesting but I was not sure what it was. Washed it when I got back home and noticed the even patterns can anyone help me ID this before I give it to the local museum ? It measures about 14 inches by 8 wide and 8 deep. Grey colour on surface.
