Here’s an oddball specimen that turned up on lake Champlain in Clinton county, New York, USA. The relationship between the ridges and the circles reminds me of counter septarian, but the scale seems off, and some of the circles overlap(??). Also the textures give the impression of a sheared-off surface rather than a weathered surface typical of counter septarian finds. Any insights?

I am a rock lover I will admit I don't know a lot about identifying fossils but I think that's what this is. Can anyone tell me what it is? I put it on the big burner of the stove for size reference.

This oddity’s origin escapes me. I’ve collected rocks and shells from anywhere I can. Unfortunately, I’ll have a few like this as I beg for help in identifying my accumulation. Sorry. I am in Texas and that is the most likely place of origin but I’ve gotten things from all over. Any help would be great curiosity sucks sometimes. Thanks for scratching my itch.

hello everyone, I'm a newbie here and with fossils and hoping y'all's experience can help me out...I live in Globe, Az and I find some awesome rocks and minerals...however I know nothing about fossils...I found this HUGE rock last year and everyone that see's thinks it might be fossils? I do know the area was underwater "back in the day"...so we have lots of limestone conglomerates that formed. The first picture is of a oval shape something that might be a fossil... it's roughly 4" by 2" width. It has lots of texture to it. The parts I'm asking about that might be bone fossils is at it's tallest is 1 1/2 foot tall and roughly 4-5" wide at the top. There are two of the "bones" one in from of the other and they are the same shape and size. The rock itself is roughly 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 feet tall/wide Weighs roughly 150 pounds. Thank you in advance for help! Sheena Globe, Az.

Found North of Houston Texas USA in gravel load from Brazos River at first glance it seems to be a shell like pattern on the stone {why I picked it up} but the pattern seems to be the whole stone so thought perhaps compressed fossilized plant concretion? possible fossil wood? pulled out my macro camera and studied further....now I am stumped more photos to follow.....

I've been preparing some things from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridgian for a friend, including a number of Colosia zietini brachiopods. Particularly after they were abraded, I noticed a lot of tiny circular forms on all of them and now I'm wondering what their origin might be, whether mineral or organic dissolution phenomena or whatever? I'm thinking maybe some little things had been attached? Or are they mineralogical? Any ideas?
