Hello, I am an active crazy lace agate & fossil hunter who has many specimens that I hope can be identified. Please help identify my precious findings so I can rest assure at what they really are. Found in Coldwater, MS in a Gully I visit often.

I have lots of these teeth but dont know what kind they are and am curious.

Hello everyone, I bought a bucket of small shark teeth from a fossil dealer in my country many years ago. The tag on it says it’s from morocco, khouribga, and the age is Eocene, Cenozoic. I found it when I was cleaning my room last week, and I started trying to identify them. I guess that 1st and 3rd one is carcharias, 2nd one is striatolamia, and the 4th one is cretolamna. If these conjectures are obviously wrong, I’m very sorry about that. In my country, there is no research on this subject and these sharks don’t even have an official name. Thanks for your help.

Hi all! Newbie here. Just starting out collecting. I saw this tooth for sale but seller does not appear to know exactly what it is. What I can say is its from Judith River and 3/4 inches longs. It looks to me like a dromeosaur tooth from the guides I found on here but figured it never hurts to ask! Thanks for any help. cretaceous-judith-river-theropod-tooth-5a.jpg.webp cretaceous-judith-river-theropod-tooth-5.jpg.webp cretaceous-judith-river-theropod-tooth-5d.jpg.webp cretaceous-judith-river-theropod-tooth-5c.jpg.webp cretaceous-judith-river-theropod-tooth-5b.jpg.webp

It looks like it could be a fossil, tho I don't know my geology well enough to begin to speculate as to what kind of fossil it would be, if it indeed could be. It looks like it could be a rock, chalcedony in-filled with limestone maybe, however strange a shape it's taken. I've done my best to set it aside, trying to wait out my curiosity while it sits with the other chunks of chalcedony, but I can't stop looking at it. Please help! K

Real amber? Suspicious under black light?

Hi, Purchased this Baltic Amber from Lithuania. Tried the black light test and the very clear amber turns opaque cream like color. Please see pics. Is this possibly fake? Thanks! -
Greens Mill Run, Greenville, NC mystery teeth/fossils
Lando_Calrissian_4tw posted a topic in Fossil ID
I’ve made several trips to Greens Mill Run recently, lots of shark teeth and belemnites, large intact scallops and clams, large whale ribs and jaw bones and ear bones. However I have 3 fossils I cannot identify. Some pics are below: The top tooth is either mosasaur or crocodile, not sure which. The other two, I’m clueless. Any help would be appreciated! -
Here are some images of what I recently found near Makoshika state park(around 5miles east of the park) - MT, Hell Creek formation. I suspect it is a theropod, but I am unsure and would love to hear some thoughts.

Hi, I don't think this is a fossil looks like some kind of tooth to me but could be wrong, searched the internet but couldn't find anything like it! Could anyone help identify what it is? I found it in Lyme Regis yesterday. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am hopeful that I can get some information about this rock/fossil. I see quite a few different shapes in this guy here, but I need to make sure that my imagination is not running away with me. I don’t know if I should keep trying to brush clean, to show what I believe is the fossil. or continue. My Indian artifacts consume a lot of spare time, and space enough as it is. but now this guy got me really intrigued. thanks in advanced everyone.

I went fossil hunting today in a river and found this bone. I don't know if it is a fossil or just old bone. Can anyone help me identify it?
-
I would appreciate some help identifying some of my latest finds. Since I am in Southern Indiana, I know many of my finds are silicified or geodized and I kind of know what some of them are but I want to be sure. I apologize if this post seems to be a bombardment of pictures that I am asking help identifying but I didn't want to post too many separate posts. Hopefully I've correctly uploaded pictures & if I am doing anything incorrectly please give me advise. First are what look to be turtle shells or are they just geodes moonlighting as turtle shells?

Hi all what could this possibly be. Found along a river bed in Canada. I think might be ivory because of the lines seen on the black side. Quite heavy,. Note the fossils in the growth lines on the totally flat/ smooth side.

Another I seem to not be able to ID... Found about 20 - 30 feet in the ground encased in thick clay... East Feliciana, Louisiana.

Is this a skull bone ? If this isn't a bone I give up on fossils . Just kidding. Please help!
Katelyn123 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this in Alabama. I think it's a skull of some sort but every other time I've posted trying to get a fossil i.d. turns out all my " fossils " were just rocks lol. I love rocks and that will always be true but I'm getting a little discouraged with fossils . Please give me some good news that at least this is a real bone. Lol . It is 3 inches tall . 5 inches long and almost 3 inches wide. -
Trivia Dimitiatoaffinis (Sacco, 1894) (?) from: Pauvrelay (Paulmy - France). Period: Miocene (Langhien)
giannisergente posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello guys... the three dolls here come from a Miocene (Langhien) site in France. First identification was "Trivia Coccinella" (but I onestly haven't found it anywhere). Could they be Trivia Dimitiatoaffinis? I'm using this website for a help (http://www.nmr-pics.nl/).. it looks that Trivia (or Niveria) Dimitiatoaffinis could be the most plausible choice (considering period and location). I found an evenience also here (https://www.paleontica.org/id_system/fossil_id_search.php?zoek=47-0765): it looks quite similar... what do you think?:) thank you all G -
