I recently bought this on online with no provenance, from a buyer with 1 feedback and some rubbish photos. To be honest I figured either nothing would turn up or itd be concrete, which is what I was hoping for (needed a doorstop) 'Unfortunately', it appears to be real, and now I'm interested. I'd appreciate any input. I've tried to show the shell patterns in some of the photos, as well as other fossils in the matrix base.

Impromptu Construction Site Hunt. Grayson Marl and Pawpaw Formation
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil ID
Following a refreshing swim at the lake with a few friends over the weekend, I decided to take a spur-of-the-moment stop at a construction site I happened to be driving by. The sun was setting, cooling the area and finally making it hospitable despite the recent heat wave. I was not familiar with the exact geology of where I was, but with only an hour and a half of daylight left I decided to not waste too much time and immediately began scouring the dirt. I quickly noticed that the ground was composed of two distinct formations. The higher layer was a grey limestone while the layer- 7 replies

Hello again. I am currently in Al Ain (an Emirate of the United Arab Emirates), my absolute favourite place to be! I have found many fossils here, but I was quite excited when I picked this one up today. I think it's a nautilus chamber. At the same location there are tousands of nummulites, many shell steinkerns, and some urchin fossils (schizaster along with some others). I would like some confirmation! (The square is 5cm by 5cm)

I've been taking a drawing course over the last few months, learning to do portraits of people and animals, but I've been neglecting the fossils. So I figured it was about time to do at least a recent shell. I've also been experimenting with pastels, so it's colorful this time instead of just black & white.

Seller lists this as a pyritized nautilus/cephalopod from the devonian, but no other info. Any idea what this could be? A belemnite phragmocone maybe? Thanks.

Fossil hunting trip to Cap Blanc Nez (Cretaceous of France)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone, Last week after getting lots of recommendations from people I spend a couple of days at Cap Blanc Nez in France to look for some fossils. And while it wasn't to most bountyfull hunt I did have a lot of fun and I was very pleased with the little finds that I managed to do. We had very nice weather, it was sunny and the temperature was just perfect for fossil hunting, and the cliffs and beach (and landscape overall) were absolutely stunning. The fossils in Cap Blanc Nez date back to the Cretaceous and there are deposits from the Turonian, Cenoma -
Hi i found this nautilus fossil 25 km west of Riyadh. It was a surface fossil and I don’t know when this lived. the geological period is middle late jurrasic but I would like to narrow that down a bit what species is this thanks

Yesterday I somewhat unexpectedly ended up with a day off of work, and as it's too hot to enjoy hiking, I decided it was time to hit up my favorite exposure of the Fayetteville Shale. I found myself thinking on my way out, I've picked this place pretty clean, I don't think I'll find too much. Luckily for me though, the -20F freeze and extremely wet spring we've had did a nice job of eroding the shale. Almost as soon as I got into the creek, I saw a pickerel frog tucked away in a little hole. Not too much further, I hit the beginning of the exposed shale. The bed of

I haven't been collecting from the Lias of Dorset or Somerset (in the UK) for a couple of years, for various reasons, obviously Covid being a major one over the last year. I'd begun to think I'd not really be able to go much again, but then we moved to Somerset, close to many exposures of material from the lower Lias (Hettangian, approx 200m years ago). So these days, I'm able to walk on the beaches every day. Living the dream! So far I've only found two small icthyosaur vertebra, but ammonites and bivalves have been a little more forthcoming. Here's a few photos of so

Hey everyone, I just posted a video where i share my best nautilus fossil at the end. This was found on the Yorkshire Coast and is pretty rare to find a Nautilus. It's the only near complete one i've found pretty much

When I was visiting my parents for Christmas, there was a surprise for me in my favorite local creek bed, and it wasn't just how cold the water was! I've found plenty of ammos there, but these are my first two nautilus. I tried to find out what they are, but I pretty much got redirected to ammo IDs. I was also wondering if it's worth buying the HGMS ID books. I'm curious, but don't really want to spend the money. These were found in a marl layer, but I'm not really sure which one. Grayson Marl I believe. Found in Tarrant County. Are they cymatoceras? Cracked one is about 2" diameter,

Hi there - Been following this forum for years now but this is my first time posting! Figured I should finally try to figure out what this mystery fossil is that I have... Years ago - probably 10 years ago at this point - I found this fossil washed up on the beach at Bald Head Island NC. Because of its markings, I assumed it was likely a nautilus, but everything I found online or in fossil books of NC looked dissimilar from this particular piece. So, I'll ask you all - what do you think it is? Am I right to think it's a nautilus of some kind, or perhaps something e

Hi All! I found this possible nautilus fossil shell on the beach. It has nacre and also is quite fossilised on the ends. Any help with ID would be very appreciated. Thankyou!

Recieved these in the mail today. I have several ammonites, no nautilus, and no polished ammonites. These arrived today and are absolutely gorgeous. I like the ammonite, but to be honest I fond the Nautilus absolutely stunning. Not certain if that is opal on the shell or not but it is gorgeous. Just thought I would share.
