Hi, this rock was found in a construction site in Bexar county, Texas. I think there are mostly mollusk shells, but I’m also really curious about the little tube things, which I’m guessing might be crinoids? Thank you for your help!

Hey Everyone, Im new here and have a project for my high school science research class in high school. I have been analyzing microfossils from the Hell Creek Formation in Southern Montana and have been determining what species my specimens are from through published papers. There are some specimens however that I have not been able to determine, and have attached below. If you wouldn't mind helping me out, it would be greatly appreciated! Ps my apologies for no scale! The first two pictures are the same, looks like a pygostyle almost. Is 1mm long by 500 microns. The third photo I ha

Hello, I found this rock washed up on the beach in South Florida a few years ago. Ive always thought it looked like a large tooth. Could someone possibly give me their thoughts on this possible being a fossil? Thanks in advance for any help given

I sometimes stumble upon these strange fossils which I like to call 'mini surfboards'. I unsuccessfully searched a couple of times on the internet and found no similar photos to help me identify them. They've all been found on the clay layer. They all have a very similar pattern . Their size is usually around 3cm (even larger sometimes).

I am brand new to the site, though I've been using information from it for awhile to help me prepare a Petoskey Stone presentation for my rock and mineral club. I am a novice and have just joined and started collecting. I graduated high school from Petoskey, so I thought I would start with Petoskey Stones. I no longer live in Michigan, so have been collecting specimens online for my presentation. I have a ton of Petoskey Stones. I am now collecting Hexagonaria from other locations and other corals, especially Rugose corals, that may be confused (either intentionally or not) with Petoskey

Hello all, I am considering buying this specimen but I know that fossil seahorses are often conflated with fossil pipe fish, which are more common and less valuable. Can anyone weigh in on the authenticity of this identification and whether or not the specimen appears to have been altered? Thanks!

I found this mystery rock on a lake shore in central Minnesota. Is it petrified wood? How does one tell whether or not a rock is petrified wood? Thanks for the help!

Hello! I am very new to the forum but I have used it previously (by reading existing discussions) in order to help me learn about and identify a few other fossils. Recently I was able to purchase a crocodile skull from a person who looked to be an antique seller. They had a few other fossils listed as well, which lead me to believe they may of gotten their hands on an older collection. The partial skull arrived today, it is the top half judging by the structure and the fact that you can see the start of the orbitals. It has teeth, but they are either broken or at least for one tooth at the ve

This was the first fossil I ever bought, I wasn’t even in kindergarten. I didn’t know what a trilobite was at the time but thought it looked cool. The only info I have is that it’s from Morocco. My best guess is something in the family Calymenidae.

All, I found this fossil in a shale deposit of Pennsylvanian age in Northeastern Oklahoma. The shale is probably Chanute formation and contains other marine fossils. I would appreciate any help with ID. Best wishes.
