I live at the bottom of a hollow in Buffalo Valley, TN. It was obviously under water at some point as I have tons of rocks with shell fossils all up my hill. I find crinoids all the the time. This is the first that I've found that looks like this though. It's maybe the size of a quarter. Is it a vertebrae from something?

Found on Assateague Beach just after low tide, buried in the sand and surf. Initial thought was marine vertebrae, but close inspection also looks like very old pottery? I can upload video if that helps. Your thoughts are much appreciated!

After countless hours looking at fish fossil images, I am wondering if I should be looking at a different species. This was included with a few in another post but I have re-imaged it. It was a gift from a clients Father who regularly travelled between the Mid-Far East. Unfortunately our client does not know from where he acquired it.

I need help identifying this specimen. I found it while sorting through a box of childhood treasures collected by my maternal grandfather, probably in the late 1880s and early 1890s. The "collection" is varied and disorganized. It includes lithic tools, projectile points, potsherds, mineral specimens, fossils, military buttons, some boars' tusks, rodent skulls, and other curiosities -- in short, anything that might have caught the eye of a youngster. None of the items in the collection, including this specimen, have been treated for preservation or appearance. Provenance of the objects is unknown, but I assume that most objects were collected in the area surrounding my grandfather's boyhood home in Huntington, WV. The specimen is small. As oriented in the picture, i measures only 15mm (5/8-inch) in width (from left to right), 9mm in height (less than 3/8-inch), and 5mm (1/4-inch) in thickness. It appears to be bilaterally symmetrical (or nearly so), and the surface is smooth, lustrous, and rather evenly dotted with pores. The back surface, facing away from the camera, is planar and rough, which suggests that the specimen may have been broken off of something larger. Please don't be misled by the apparent size of the specimen in the photo (about a 2X life-size image on the sensor). It's really very small. Thanks in advance for any help or insights you can offer.

Found on a rocky, surfing area in Panama where I've found marine fossils in the past. I have never seen anything similar before. Is it a stone or something else? There is a dark outer layer. Thanks

A guy that I work with in France brought some fossils to work one day that his grandfather had passed down. He was wondering what they are. I told him I could post them on here and try find out. He said they were probably all found in the area northwest of Bordeaux by his grandfather many years ago. Some where around Royan. #1 #2 #3 #4

This is very tiny stuff from Durlston Bay, on Dorsets Jurassic coast. I think that I have some teeth, but are they fish or reptile? Can anyone identify the larger plate at the top of the first picture? All contributions welcome.
