Can anyone please help me identify this rock? I found it in our farm garden in 1980

Hi there, we found this in Stony Mountain, Manitoba, Canada last summer (~Aug 2021) and we're hoping for an ID. We're definitely beginners but love fossil hunting in the quarry down the street, thank you for any help with the pics below!

I think this is a piece of a cephalopod fossil. It was found in northern Manitoba where the Saskatchewan river runs into lake Lake Winnipeg. Can anyone confirm?

Location: agate pit in southern Manitoba Canada Petrified wood, agates and jasper are everywhere in this pit. Teeth and bones from "ice age horses" and mammoths have apparently been found in these pits too. Before going I read something about pumice being found in these pits, I guess that was still in my mind because I immediately thought this was a big ugly chunk of pumice when I picked it up, it wasn't until getting it home and rinsing off the gunk I realized it was definitely a bone, possibly a fossil. So I'm just curious what it might be? If I found this on a hike through a forest I wouldn't think twice about it being anything other than "some old bone", it's really only because I found it where I did I'm giving it a second thought. It "feels" like a rock which has me thinking it's a fossil, although really I have no clue. I can't really imagine taking it to a museum, I'd imagine they must get nutcases in there on a daily basis asking about the "dinosaur bones" and "meteorites" they've found... so I'd rather embarrass myself online if this is just some dried out 5 year old cow bone. So, any initial ideas? I didn't know how the image uploading would work, I can definitely try for better pics from different angles and upload them separately. But I wasn't sure if this was going to be an easy one to ID and if it would need anything more. Feel free to ask any questions.

Is this a type of coral? Found in Manitoba. Approximately 2” long and 1.5” wide.

Tammy and I spent our anniversary in Churchill, Manitoba (Canada) this year in an effort to see both Polar Bears by day and the Aurora Borealis by night. We succeeded in the first half of this mission but cloudy skies that had Churchill socked-in for the duration of our stay occluded any views we had of the nighttime sky (actually, the daytime sky as well--we never saw the sun while we were there). We had learned about Isotelus rex (the world's current record holder for most enormous species of trilobite) and were able to visit the specimen collected in Churchill when we visited the Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/78783-manitoba-museum-winnipeg/ We knew that the beaches would have some nice outcrops of Late Ordovician fossils where the giant trilobite was discovered and we looked for an opportunity to pay homage to I. rex with a pilgrimage to the type locality on our trip. Walking the beaches during Polar Bear season requires some caution and some extra preparation--like some sled dogs to help alert us to the presence of bears and a guide (Gerald, the owner of our B&B in Churchill--Blue Sky Bed & Sled). There are large boulders of Precambrian metagreywacke (aka "Churchill Quartzite") that are big enough for Polar Bears to hide among and pop-out with little notice and these limited sight lines make it necessary to take extra precautions when fossil hunting (bear dogs and shotguns are not normally required fossil hunting gear). It didn't take us too long poking around the lighter colored Ordovician limestone cobbles to start spotting fossils. Surfaces with dense deposits of bivalves were pretty easy to spot. There are apparently both similar looking bivalves and brachiopods occurring in this outcrop and we didn't inspect the fossils closely enough (it was quite chilly out with the stiff breeze) to decide which we were seeing. I'm not familiar enough with these types of fossils to be able to quickly distinguish. We also saw some evidence of gastropod steinkerns but they were not nearly as common as the bivalve/brachipod type of fossils. We also saw an interesting patterned rock that may be a fossil, ichnofossil, or maybe simply something geological and abiotic. It was pretty wild looking whatever it was. We didn't spot any rugose (horn) corals but did see what appeared to be some tabulate corals and one colonial coral that forms a tessellated pattern of what look like chain links--quite distinctive. We saw many occurrences of this finely patterned honeycomb-like fossil which I assume is a colonial (tabulate) coral and not something like a bryozoan or a Receptactulites. I need to do a bit more research online to see if I can't narrow down what types of fossils we were seeing. A little searching netted some of the sightings of the chambered linear fossils of some orthoconic cephalopods. These seem to catch the interest of most of the locals and several of them have nice specimens of these fossils (though few have any idea what they actually are/were). I tried to look around for some of the in situ slabs of limestone where trilobite fossils or the ichnofossil trails of the same might be found. I did spot some nice flat pavements after a bit of searching but could not locate any of the (very rare) giant trilobites for a photo. Pictured above are our Polar Bear alert dogs Sony and Gracie enjoying a visit to the beach to run around and splash in the frigid waters. Cheers. -Ken

Tammy and I had to stop in Winnipeg on our way up to Churchill further north in the province (with hopes of seeing Polar Bears and the Aurora Borealis for our anniversary). While doing a little research on Churchill I discovered it is the type locality for the world's largest trilobite. Now I'm not talking something that is a little bit bigger than some of the really large Paradoxides or Cambropallas trilobites you see from Morocco (fake or otherwise). I'm talking taking trilobites to a whole new extreme (but more on that later). We flew from Miami to Winnipeg on a flight that connected through Toronto. I really don't know why the computerized reservation systems conjured up by these airlines let you make routes with tight connections--but they DO! We planned on spending an extra day in Winnipeg as the tight connection in Toronto seemed highly optimistic at best. We were late out of Miami when the first officer didn't show up and they had to call in a substitute. The pilots didn't even try to make up the delay in the air and we arrived well behind schedule. I doubt that we could have made the connection anyway (> 1 hour) having to go through customs/immigration and travel to the far reaches of the airport to catch the connecting flight. Our flight had left before we even cleared processing in Canada but we were able to book a follow-up flight a few hours later. It still took us over 2.5 hours to reach our gate for the connecting flight and so (without the aid of teleportation--or maybe a large canon) we were doomed from the start. We got in later but well in time to make our exceedingly expensive flight to Churchill. The rail line is down (washed out this spring) and there are no roads up to this isolated corner of Manitoba. I had heard that a truly enormous trilobite had been discovered in Churchill and that it currently resides in the Manitoba Museum so promptly after breakfast we grabbed a cab to the city center and arrived at the unassuming (from the outside) museum. We didn't even make it inside before my gaze was captured by the beautiful stone slabs that clad this building's exterior. Soon I was to learn that this was the locally famous Late Ordovician (~450 myo) Tyndall Stone. The interesting two-toned appearance of this dolomitic limestone is said to be ichnofossils from some sort of burrowing animal. It really makes the stone quite striking from far away with this unusual patterning. I can see why they have used this stone to face the surfaces of many prominent buildings in Canada (and abroad). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyndall_stone

This tooth was found at wasagaming beach in manitoba canada. National park staff have identified it as most likely from a bison but i am wonder what people think the age might be based on its looks

I am going Manitoba on a fishing trip. Are there any special Canadian laws regarding fossil collecting? Are the islands there fossiliferous?

Hey, My wife found this on the surface at the Souris Agate Pits in Southwestern Manitoba this past weekend. It's only about two and a half inches long, so I doubt a species ID is possible, but can you confirm that this is indeed bone? Also, it's very light, and I'm not sure if it's indeed fossilized, or just an old bone fragment. Thoughts?

Greetings! Ive had these fossils for quite a while now. Wish I had more info other than it was found in Manitoba, Canada. If you need better pictures I can email more detailed shots but the forum has a size limit. If nobody can identify is there a possible museum I could send them into for analysis?
