Hi, I live on the Isle of Wight which I know has a good reputation for fossil finds so I want to make the most of living here and get out looking for some. I was just wondering if there are any laws regarding fossil hunting like if I find something am I allowed to keep it or do some things have to be declared if found in certain areas. I know with metal detecting there are some regulations that can catch you out. Thanks.

Hi, this is my first post on this forum! (and sorry for bad english, btw) I just registered yesterday, and I would really appreciate if someone could ID this stone (?) I found. It is found in Croatia, on the Adriatic sea, on the island of Brač. I noticed it while I was walking down the stony path, in the inland of the island. I don't know anything about fossils, but it looks interesting and I am curious. Thank you!

A few days ago while snorkelling on shallow waters in a greek island I found this canine tooth and I was wondering if it is a fossil or from a modern animal. Can anyone recognise it? Thank you!!! -
Hello. I found these on a Croatian island - they don't strike me as one of their regular Jurassic finds, as it appears to be more inside a fault of petrified red soil amidst the abundant limestone. They look kinda "new". Can anyone tell me what they are? I found them on two locations. Not a geologist, so no idea. Whale and other large marine life bones? Polished by the sea? After some seizmic event?

Hello i found these on a island in the Red Sea. the island is literally made of fossils(LITTERALLY) at the bottom of the island you can find corals you would usually find deeper in the sea and as you climb up the mountain you start seeing shallow water creatures like giant clams. The island reaches 70 meters high and there are fossils up until the top. These fossils(in the pictures) could only be found on the top couple of meters what could these be? thank you for your time !

This is my first post to this site and I thank you beforehand for any help you can give me with the ID of this piece of bone. I have been vacationing on Little Gasparilla Island for the last years. I am fascinated with the shark's teeth and other things that wash up. I am a surgical PA having both worked in Neurosurgery and now spine with orthopedics. I found this on my most recent trip and recognized it as bone immediately. It is about 3x2x2". The top and bottom appear to be cortical bone and the middle cancellous bone. I ran it by a few surgeon friends and we came up with nada.

Trip Report - 10/3/2020 - Charleston, SC Dredge Spoils
FossilizedShoe posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On Saturday, I made the trip down to Charleston to hunt for fossils on one of several islands in the Charleston area on which the dredge spoils pulled out of the harbor are deposited. I drove down cautiously optimistic, as I knew that there should be fossils to be found, as the harbor cuts down deep enough to hit the right formation. Even then, my expectations were absolutely blown out of the water. The trip was an unmitigated success, as shown by the photo below. The picture above shows my haul for the whole 4 hours I spent picking over the piles and fields of dredge spoils. One th- 11 replies

In our cottage in an island there are these big rocks that were dug up from the ground when we first built our house but there is one rock in particular that looks like it may have been underwater at some point and I sure am interested in the possibility of maybe finding some fossils, what's your opinion ?does it look like it may have been underwater? And could this area have fossils? Thanks

Recently re discovered a bunch of these things that we got from the Canary Islands. They were all washed up on the beaches and they do not look stricktly geological to me and looks kind of like some kind of modern calcified organism or trace of one. I stumbled upon a book at some point, I believe it was called Darwin's Fossils that said these were some kind of remains of algae that have fossilized, but when I looked that up there was no evidence I could find supporting this claim, maybe someone else knows what these things could be? Any new insight is appreciated, Thank you.

Help for identification? I have nearly zero experience. Thanks.

Hello, I just got back from my first fossil hunting trip and am hoping to get a little help to ID some of my finds. These were found on Manitoulin Island off HWY 6 & New England Rd, I`m sure a few people on here have already been there. I didn`t do any digging or picking but I managed to find a few specimens laying around worth bringing home. Fossil #1 Approx 6cm by 6cm total, gonna take a wild guess that it`s some sort of shell Fossil #2 Approx 7cm by 11cm total, looks like corral to me, lots of little bits in the area like this but this was the nicest one I found

Hi all, Here is goes, finally I found a place "alive" enough to talk about fossils. Most other places I saw were just as alive as the fossils they were supposed to talk about. Sohere I went on a trip onto an island in Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. The ground is shale or limestone. Just walking on the "beach" I came across a bunch of fossils or imprints of fossils. Now I tried to find out how old that particular spot was and came up with Ordovician. Here are the images of what I saw: 1: 2: This one looks like a fish, but I doubt is a fish would leave such a lasting imprint 3: This
