Hello all, I just found this bone/fossil in big brook NJ. It is about 3 cm long. I originally thought it was a modern bone, still a neat find, but then after further inspection I found it was not porous and thought it might be a fossil. Anyway any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Found in south Wales on a mud flat at low tide. I’ve tried to clean as best I can. Any input would be amazing, please! I believe it to be an egg or 2 and a rib cage, or tubular crustacean formation, but I’m a total newbie, thanks!!

Hi everyone, I’m a total amateur but love looking for fossils and have a keen eye (, I’ve done a lot of collecting and have been laughed at by my friends and family for what I believe are some amazing finds! hopefully I can get some validation or advice on what I have found and a lot of tips on prep work etc. I am prepared for criticism so please don’t hold back and just hope these aren’t all plain old rocks!! first topic and a big one! can anyone explain to me in layman’s terms why some fossils seem to be bonded/formed around iron rich metallic objects (nails, bolts, screws) or if I’m totally wrong about that? here are some pics of the fossils with the above mentioned characteristics and my conclusions on identity. Thanks in advance Turtle remains/ vertebrae? A piece of dorsal vertebrae?

Hi everyone, havent posted here in a very long time. I have been out fossicking a few months ago in a region of New South Wales, Australia in a devonian limestone dominated region. There are entire strata maade up of beds of Spirifer and Orthoceras and an array of corals, therefore its evident this used to be a shallow warm sea, of devonian age. There is this one fossil however, with images (attached to the post) that appears to be a ring almost however it has to layer. I have used a ruler for scale I'm unsure as to what this is and if it is even an animal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone would perhaps be able to help me identify this species of cephalopod I found last summer while out exploring for fossils on Manitoulin Island in Canada (specifically in the Sheguiandah area)? I am pretty sure it is some sort of Orthocone, but it would be neat if I could narrow it down to a potential species level for sure. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

I need help identifying this specimen. I found it while sorting through a box of childhood treasures collected by my maternal grandfather, probably in the late 1880s and early 1890s. The "collection" is varied and disorganized. It includes lithic tools, projectile points, potsherds, mineral specimens, fossils, military buttons, some boars' tusks, rodent skulls, and other curiosities -- in short, anything that might have caught the eye of a youngster. None of the items in the collection, including this specimen, have been treated for preservation or appearance. Provenance of the objects is unknown, but I assume that most objects were collected in the area surrounding my grandfather's boyhood home in Huntington, WV. The specimen is small. As oriented in the picture, i measures only 15mm (5/8-inch) in width (from left to right), 9mm in height (less than 3/8-inch), and 5mm (1/4-inch) in thickness. It appears to be bilaterally symmetrical (or nearly so), and the surface is smooth, lustrous, and rather evenly dotted with pores. The back surface, facing away from the camera, is planar and rough, which suggests that the specimen may have been broken off of something larger. Please don't be misled by the apparent size of the specimen in the photo (about a 2X life-size image on the sensor). It's really very small. Thanks in advance for any help or insights you can offer.

I found this fossil in Switzerland when I was younger, and I’ve always wondered what it is. I found it in a random rock pile. If someone could please help that would be great!
