Hello dear fellow forum members, this is a fossil that I got as a gift when I was eight years old, as a fossil sponge. In the years after, I began to doubt if sponges fossilize and called it a coral, but maybe it really is a sponge after all? I think it is from the region around Porto Christo on the east coast, but cannot be sure about that. The east coast is mainly Miocene on the surface as far as maps tell me. There are jurassic and cretaceous fossils on the island also. Any ideas? Thanks, J

Hello, Jsut hiking today here in Mallorca, near Andratx, and found this, looks like a bone, but I'm not sure. What do you think? I made a short video as well: in the same area we have found some nice ammonite.. But the question is the stone: is it a fragment of a bone, or just a congl.?

Hi Fossil Forum community, I am a complete neophyte is this field so was hoping to get some insights from you. On a recent walking trip in the mountain region in the north east of Mallorca I came across this curiously shaped rock. It was located in a dry riverbed in a canyon close to the town of Binibona. I thought from the shape it could be a tooth of some type but considering the quality of other fossils I’ve seen it would be poorly preserved if it were. Dimensions of the find (at its widest points) are: Height - 15 cm Width - 13 cm Depth - 7 cm. Hopefully this is enough detail and somebody can bring some clarity to this and I’m not wasting your time with a coincidentally shaped piece of sandstones and my own personal pareidolia. Regards, John

I was visiting the Diocesan Museum in Palma (Mallorca) and before walking up the stairs I noticed something that I thought was a fossil. What kind of gastropod could it be? And what could be the rock the steps (stairs) are made of? I am sorry, but I only have this ugly photo. Thanks in advance for the help.
