Someone over on Reddit told me this is a trace of the base of a Crinoid (feather duster?). Firstly looking to confirm this, and secondly trying to understand the average age. Found on an ocean beach on Long Island, NY. From what I understand this area is quite young and formed via a glacier... although I am not sure how this affects the potential age of rocks/fossils on the beaches. I am VERY new to this, so just trying to learn about my area. Thanks!

Hello! I stumbled upon this peculiar item while searching the beaches today (ok, it’s not as exciting as I just made it sound) and I’m wondering if this is a fossil or something dried within that I’m not able to identify. I can provide more photos, but a suggestion would be appreciated. Please help and thank you for reading!

What is the closest place to Long Island, NY where Eurypterus fossils have been found?
DardS8Br posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I’m currently in Long Island, NY and I want to try and find some eurypterus fossils. I don’t really know anything about fossil hunting in the state, so I’m wondering where the closest places to Long Island where I can I find Eurypterus fossils are. Any help is appreciated -
Hi all, this is my first post here. I found this the other day on a north shore Long Island NY beach, down at the water's edge. Looks like a partially peeled hardboiled egg. Was wondering what, if anything, it could be? I've tried to research as much as I could, but running into dead ends. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you! I'm a bit of a beach comber and recently stumbled across one of my most unique little finds yet. I found it on the shore of Fire Island in New York exactly as is. The outer crust is delicate and would clearly flake off easily if I scraped it. Otherwise, I nearly confused it for a rock (see the underside) when I was walking by. The barnacles and scallop shell are pretty clear, the rest are a new mystery to me. I posted elsewhere and the leading thought is a layered colony of bryozoans. Before I found this and reached out, I'd never heard of bryozoans before, so I'd love further confirmation and whatever other information I can learn from this for my own education. Thanks very much for your time and have a great day! **Edit** Meant to add: I love to know the best way to clean and preserve it as well so any help is greatly appreciated!

My 5 year old son is an aspiring paleontologist. He found this yesterday while swimming in shallow water in Sag Harbor, NY. He's convinced that he identified a new species. We love encouraging his expeditions and would love to have help identifying this. Thanks so much!

Hello All! I am new here, recommended to visit this site, for help Identifying what I found, by someone named The Fossil Guy, who I found on Facebook by following the site Fossilera. My name is Hollie and I am from Long Island, New York. The object in question that I need help identifying was found by myself about ten years ago on the north shore of Long Island in a town called Lloyd Harbor and on the beach. Long Island was formed by a glacier 13,000 ago and is a terminal moraine. The north shore beaches are very rocky with large glacial rocks everywhere and the south shore beaches are all sand. I was told by the fossil guy that my piece is an imprint of a mollusk or worm in sandstone. I am hopeful you all can give me an idea to what it may be. Thank you and happy holidays!!
