Hello Fossil Forum! I recently came into possession of these beautiful fishes. As you can see there are two fish here, however, there is also the spine of another fish, just to the left of the fish on the bottom. I am not sure of the ID's of these specimens, nor where they were extracted from. Any help is greatly appreciated! Top specimen Bottom Specimen Spine Specimen, note visible tail

Hello, I was recently searching for arrow heads in my creek that goes through my residence in Medina county Ohio. While searching I found a small multi colored brown, black, and red rock with many holes and patterns. I picked it up and on further inspection I found the rock was actually covered in hundreds of fossils! The rock has multiple holes as well. If anyone has an idea of what this would be called or identified as much appreciated!

Hello we are the Placers. These were found at Crystal park, MT. I just thought they were neat rocks but when I started trying to take the crystals out of them I notice what looked like an eye socket and skin. So I stopped immediately and did this. So many different pieces almost like it was a den of them. All of these are from around the same place.

Found this in Eagle Ford creek bed, thought it was wood at first but think I see remnants of enamel or I wouldn't even take a guess at teeth. Bet this will be an easy one for someone. Thanks for looking!

Moroccan starfish fossil purchased near Erfoud. Is it real? Are the small ones a different type of starfish? I am also looking for ideas on how to hang it?

I washed up another plate from my dig site in southern Ohio and found two extremely visible trilobites encased. Upon closer review I found nine other smaller trilobites within the plates in varying positions. Along with some smaller impressions. Plate is 25 cm in length and 14.5 cm wide. I'm not sure abrasion is the way to get them out or just leaving them in there is a better way to appreciate the awesomeness. I've never found this many in one sampling. This is the fourth time I've found them at a certain segment of my site. I have one whole one as well that was loose in the soil. I tested the CLR on another plate with nothing but Bryzoa and Brachiopods and as long as the exposure was time controlled I was able to breakdown much of the matrix to and then use abrasion to remove much of the rock.... I'm a little skeptical to do that with this set of fossils. Thoughts?! I get jazzed when I find Trilobites.

I saved the best for last, a large rock full of shells! I know, still not terribly exciting, but at least it's not another coral. Any idea what kind of shells these are from, and what era? Some of them are pretty badly damaged, but there's a handful that are mostly intact. Also, this is actually from south Kansas near Arkansas City, not the usual Michigan/Indiana. It was found in a recently-tilled cornfield. (8/8)

Just some fossils
Draconiusultamius posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I've had some of these fossils for years now, but reading this thread made me doubt the authenticity of some of them. The first is an unidentified fish fossil I purchaed from a small shop in drumheller claiming to sell fossils. From what I remember, the woman selling the fossils was worried that I was going to break one of the fossils and kept staring at me like a hawk. The mosasaur and pavlovia fossils were from a shop in Banff, which is really popular for purchasing fossils and the papers are supposedly certificates of authenticity. I trust the source, but I did read a thread about fake mosasaur teeth and the 'pavlovia fossil' (not sure if ID is correct or if that was for an entirely different fossil. I don't keep my papers with my fossils because my fossil display is cluttered without them. It's possible that this is the fossil I purchased from some metaphysical store in Toronto.) was inexpensive for such a fascinating specimen ($10-20 Canadian, if I remember correctly). The trilobite was my first largish fossil and it was purchased from a store in Jasper. The lady at the store was somewhat knowledgeable about the specimen, so I think it's probably authentic.

Not sure why my thread was moved as I do want to know wether I have fossils in here, but I'm not too fussed about it. Instead of doing something productive, I went outside and (with permission from the principal) gathered lots of rocks from around the school. I only took one angle for most of them, but if you'd like more angles or a zoomed picture, I can do that, just mention the number of the picture. I also have to add measurements, but I'll do so when I have some time. #1. I'm going with the assumption that this is a manganese oxide pseudofossil, but it does vaguely resemble an egg, especially with the two thin 'shells' at the bottom. It's unnaturally flat on one side, no clue why. #2. Not much here, but still worth a glance in case I missed something. #3. The streaks are interesting. #4. Indentations and streaks #5. & #6. Both have this blurry, oval shaped creature with a triangular 'head' complete with two 'eyes'. It's more obvious on the second one, but the first one is actually larger. #7. Streaks #8. The white vein of crystal appears to be very 2-D

Ive found this & other small fossils at ocean beach in San Francisco. Most look like sand dollars but this one has a foot w/clear metatarsals/phalanges & what looks like 3 vertabral columns or 3 portions of 1. Does anyone know what this is?

Hello folks, this is my first post on this site and I was hoping for some basic information on my best find to date. I found this piece outside of Algonac Michigan in one of the main channels that empty into Lake St. Claire. The piece is almost as large as a baseball, and appears to have 3 distinct layers of different species of coral. Is this in fact three layers, how rare is it(not for selling purposes, just for bragging rights with my son) and also would any preservation methods be recommended to make it look even better? Living in Michigan(now on the west coast) I am aware that corals are most of what I will find going forward, but what era will most be from so I can narrow my future classification searches. Thanks for all your help!
