Found this on the beach today... At first I thought it was a screw. Seems to be the stem of a Crinoid, but totally surrounded by this white, chalky, calcium like substance. What exactly is going on here? Also, I live on Long Island NY which I know is not home to any native fossils due to its geology, so are most limestone fossils like this basically washed here from other locations?

I found this plate of Ordovician limestone in Prince Edward County, Ontario. It’s a relatively unremarkable specimen, bits of crinoid stems and brachiopod shells are scattered throughout, but it contains a prominent raised convex bar seen on the upper left of the specimen in the first image. My best guess is that it’s an ichnofacies of some kind, a burrow or trail left by something like a trilobite. I’ve included some close ups of the bar, there are small bits of shell where it comes to an end. Any help identifying it is greatly appreciated!

Is this spatula-shaped item a fossil? Perhaps a coral or bryozoan? From a Cretaceous fossil cliff on the coast of Portugal. Matrix is limestone. Item apparently has two elements, 1) a flattened, darker "blade" that widens from end to the other, and 2) a lighter, roughly cylindrical element that runs down the middle. A mold of this cylindrical element seems to extend beyond where it ends.

I found this skull in our field next to our house last week. It was being pushed up from the ground. The photo shows the front R side of the face w/ clear jawline, R eye socket & R side of a crest. I would like ID help, please. We are 1/2 hour south of the WI border. It was near a fossilized, partially opened egg & the limestone-encrusted skull of a juvenile lizard, among other fossils. There are volcanic rocks nearby & we believe that the interstate Rock River was considerably larger, covering our property & bringing those things south to IL.

Hi, this rock was found in a construction site in Bexar county, Texas. I think there are mostly mollusk shells, but I’m also really curious about the little tube things, which I’m guessing might be crinoids? Thank you for your help!

I run across these guys frequently in the Mississippian Redwall Limestones around Arizona's Verde Valley. They are generally accompanied by lots of Crinoids and solitary Rugose Corals. They're always this oval shape with segmented structure. They look like an isopod, to me, but could be some other crustacean. Any help out there for the identification of these "bugs?"

I have a piece of limestone found in a gravel pit. It contains two brachiopods I'm having a hard time identifying. Both appear to be the same species, just differing states of preservation. The larger is about 3/4" wide.

Found close to Paderborn, Germany (Erwitte-Formation) alongside with some echinoids (most likely Micraster cortestudinarium),an ammonite and countless Inoceramidae clams. Marly Limestone Formation of the lower Coniacium or upper Turonium. I was wondering if it could be some kind of petrified drift wood, palm or root?

I ran across a pile of dumped limestone on a vacant lot in Grand prairie Texas, know nothing about it but I'm relying on the limestone experts on here for help. Most of it was shattered or blank but found one large slab about 4 ft across that was intact but cracked with some large peices left. I pried it apart and gathered up ones that looked interesting, had fossils, and large enough to maybe be distinguish as part of something else. Showing the group front and back for context. First four pics of one rock, next four pics of one rock and most interesting one, front and back of next rock, then the various fossils within, don't know if it's relevant but the ammonite was in the center of the slab and surrounding broken peices looked like it was much bigger. Last four pics of one rock, in several of the rocks I believe I'm seeing crystalized shell, the last rock most prominent, it measures 1 cm at the thickest part. I know there is a lot missing but hoping someone can distinguish if some of these were all a part of something much bigger. Thanks ahead of time for taking the time to read all that and look at all the pictures.
