Hello, I have this collection of fossils I had gotten a few years back. I’m trying to create a display for fossils, if anybody from this forum could help me identify some of these that would be great. I really appreciate the support and thank you.

I went fossil hunting for the first time on a private piece of land near chippokes state park. I’ve always loved buying fossils and rocks but just recently took the leap to hunting for fossils for myself. I need help identifying some of these. Any advice would help.

Where Does the Rock End and the Fossil Begin? + Other Identification
Salamander0421 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello. This is my first real post to these forums, so let me know if I do something incorrectly. I found these last year in Montana, USA. For the first one, I’m not quite sure where the fossil ends and the rock begins. I am worried about accidentally chipping away the fossil. It's 10x5.5cm. Here is the piece in question: I also found two other large pieces. The first I will call “trident” (because it has three prongs). It's 8 x 7.5cm. I am wondering where the rock begins and fossil ends on this one as well: And the last one, which is 5 x 4cm: Thank you and good luck! -
Good Morning, I was hoping some more knowledgeable trilobite enthusiasts could help point me in the right direction here - I received this trilobite (see attached photos) as a gift from family members who traveled to Morocco back in 2017. I have very little information about it - it appears to have been found in a concretion, it is reportedly ~500 MYO, and it was purchased from a vendor by the side of the road in the Atlas Mountains (unfortunately specific locality was not requested or provided at time of purchase). I imagine it is one of the more common species, I was hoping for an ID and any other information folks may have. Thank you, -Connor

Hocking Hills, Ohio Hopefully these are clearer pics. I have too many to upload all so I included pics of vertebrates where they were squished. A couple pics of skin and tongues also. I really appreciate everyone’s opinions, thanks!

Hello, I found this on a stroll near a rocky shore in Salem, Massachusetts. My questions: Are these simple shell fossils? or possibly vertabrae? any ideas on the minimum age? (how long it would take to turn into this) or the likely age? This is approximately 5.08 cm (2 inches) at its widest. It was found at surface level among many other rocks near a fairly well traveled tourist(y) spot. I realize this is probably overkill for what is almost assuredly a very common thing but I still find the little rock interesting.

Found this rock at half moon bay in California. It leaks out a black tar substance and I have no idea what it is. It has 4 little prongs that look like tooth roots and it’s shaped like a molar. Any help would be appreciated.

Found three teeth that I’m not sure of on the ID, I think the curved one is a dolphin tooth, but that is my best bet

Just went on a trip to Greens Mill Run yesterday and recovered this tooth. Is it crocodilian or a mosasaur tooth? Thanks!

Hello, My grandma wanted me to check if this may be a large piece of petrified wood? I tried to get decent photos on my ipod. This piece is about 10.5 inches long (at it's longest point) and weighs nearly 15-lbs.

Hello, I found these today in my grandmother's front yard among 4-tons of river rock she recently had installed. I believe they are bone fragments, but I was hoping to get some opinions (if I guessed right). I'm still learning, but I try my best. The first four photos are the same piece from different angles.
