I am searching for someone in the New orleansarea, to help identify these fossils and perhaps artifacts from south Louisiana/Gulf of Mexico. In bottom left corner, one with black shine, it is magnetic as well as the third picture down. Any suggestions on what they are?

Greetings from Inland Venice, FL. Pleistocene material. This is an unusual fossil find for me. It measures 6 inches long by 3 inches wide. It is 3.8 inches in height. Two different sides are flat. Photo A: overall image. Multiple images show worn black fossils embedded in relatively smoothed, compacted silica. This item was recovered from sand/clay, calcium carbonate material in hole approx. 10 feet deep. There were no other specimens with this type of composition recovered. FYI: Indian artifacts confirmed to 10,000 B.C. recovered within 10 miles. I have not previously recovered any Indian artifacts. I do not think this would be an implement/ancient tool. I'm looking for feedback. Thanks in advance friends.

Found this on the shore in the Potomac with tons of other ray fossils. Is this from a ray or something else?

Hi everyone, Im from morocco and exactly the south of morocco,, for like 2 weeks ago me and my friend we were working in an very very old house in the desert near "Guelmim" city, we were trying to break down a wall inside the house in order to re arrange and renewing the house. Well during our work we did break down the wall but the found something was hidden inside the wall between the rocks ("the wall was made from rocks and other things that old people use to mix to build their houses". the thing we found was something covered with a piece of rag, we opened this thing and we found 7 balls protected with cotton, we believe those balls are meteorites ,,, we were searching for the name and the meaning of these mistry balls , what we found is very shocking .. i will upload the photo of what we found and some links to give you an idea about our search results. we tested the balls with a "Diamond tester" and BINGO!!! the test was positive , it contains Diamonds inside with a big amount .. The name of the balls was "LONSDALEITE" .. yes they say its a meteorite containing lonsdaleite ,, the diamond that is harder than the regular diamond that we know.. and this worth millions of dollars .. can you believe it!! .. i can't believe this ... mean while one of the balls we found is under testing with some scientists in the lab ,, till now they told us that 95% tests are positive and it could be true , a true lonsdaleite .. we're still waiting for the final results .. other people found the same balls with the very same characteristics in french .. here's the link : http://www.geoforum.fr/topic/35910-est-ce-un-diamant-lonsdaléite/ you will find some videos with diamond tester .. if you have any more informations about this to confirm what we found , tell us

I am having immense difficulty identifying this item with any amount of certainty.I found this in a small creek/ditch in a very rural part of Jefferson County, Mississippi. Several pottery shards, flakes were found within just a few yards of this piece. It appears to be from quartzite. I foolishly scrubbed this item like there was no tomorrow in order to remove a thick layer of black buildup from its years in the creek. I hope you will find time to offer some input. Sincerely, Adam N. Hamby Another couple of views

(Need Help) Interesting Lizard-shaped fossil with possible inscription?
TennesseeRockHunt posted a topic in Fossil ID
This is a rock/fossil found in grandparents rock bed. I believe it to be a fossilised lizard on top of a rock. When I studied it, I noticed the lizard shape and, on the bottom side, what seemed to be an engraving that looked interesting. I tried to write down the symbols I saw and research them and came up with something similar to the Mayan writing for lizard. Looking for any advice/input on this intriguing piece. Thanks!top view of fossilup-close side view of fossil top-down view of bottom side containing what I believe to be an engravingScreenshot of Mayan representation of a lizard, close to the engraving on the bottom

I know this is a fossil site but i was hoping someone here may have came across something like this before and may have some info to pass on. i found this near fenton, mi near a old tree while tilling. It was a little over 20 inches deep. it is almost perfectly round very very smooth and heavy and extremely hard. When hit by my tiller it got no damage only damaged my tiller. The tiller left metalic marks on the stone. i have since used my different things to try to scratch it with no luck. everything i use just just damaged. the item weighs around 41.7 grams

Hey Guys, I know its a fossil forum but I feel native american artifacts go hand in hand so dont blow a fuse. I have found arrowheads here and there. not as many as I would like to admit. I dont know if I am looking in the wrong places or what. I know the basics, plowed feilds after a rain, creeks bed, ect. Are there any particular places I should be looking, any geological characteristics, bluffs, ect. Should i be looking in creeks or is that more of a waste of time than anything else. If i were to survery a certain area, how far should i dig while sifting the land. I want to know everything there is to know when it comes to native american finds in new jersey with maximum productivity. I would really appreciate any help, knowledge, and advice that would help me out. Also have a question in regard to tips. Is it possible that archaic and paleo indians may have made spears out of iron stone? I know that it is everywhere in Parts of new jersey but i have found a piece that seems to have been worked. it doesnt have conchoidal fractures since its not chert but it is pointed, it was not from a river bed, it was from a turned field, and it has definately been worked. thanks for the information!
