    Possible Crinoid

    Found in the French River. Possible Crinoid?

    Is this a fossil?!

    I found this on a beach in the Isle of Wight. Not sure if it’s a pattern on the rock or a fossil. The shape is much darker than appears on the photos but I’ve done my best. Thank you!
  3. 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!
  4. 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 have no clue what it could be and is 1.5 mm by 800 microns. The fourth I think is dermal from a gar or a multituberculate part is 1.2 mm by 900 microns. Fifth I have no clue and is 2mm by 1mm. Final and most exciting is the lower jaw, the diameter of the pencil lead is 700 microns. about 3mm long and 1.2 mm wide. I believe it is mammal or amphibian but am not sure. Thanks

    Tooth? or just a rock…….

    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
  6. 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).

    Coral Fossil Pair ID

    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 Stones. Here are two I purchased from a woman in Missouri. She said her dad collected them in the 1960s, but she had no other information. (I switched rocks after the inverted picture.) Does anyone have an idea what these are?

    Real fossil seahorse?

    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!

    Is This Petrified Wood?

    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!
  10. 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 very tip, seem to have been just growing in. It seems to be stabilized in a weird red plaster that I have never seen before, if anyone has any information on what it is, or if this is even a correct way to stabilize said fossil please let me know. A big chunk of the upper jaw appears to have been filled in with it and a thin layer of it or some other stabilizer was used to cover most of the surface area of the rest of the fossil which seems to be why it might be giving off the red coloration. I'm confident that this is a real fossil/skull despite it's preservation method. The seller sent me a few plaques as well, one of them with a bit of information that came along with it. I'll be including pictures below of both sides. One of them mentions the kemkem beds but also the Tegana Formation which I cannot really find any information on. I'm having a lot if difficulties trying to figure out what crocodylomorph this skull might of belonged to. I have narrowed it down to maybe the Elosuchus because of the rounded orbitals as well as how narrowish the jaw appears to be, but I am not sure and would like some help from people with more experience with identification. I'm relatively new to fossil collecting, this is actually the biggest fossil I currently own, and any help is very appreciated. Thank you for your time! I can provide more pictures or close ups of areas if requested.

    Moroccan Trilobite ID

    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.

    Mollusk ID Requested

    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.
