I lost my kayak anchor and found a rock to use for the rest of the day. When I was loading back up I noticed the markings on it. I thought it was a piece of petrified wood but once I cleaned it up it kind of looks like a clam. Any ideas? This was found in middle Tennessee.

Picked up the below bone in the Peace River, FL last week. When it came out of the water I thought "knee cap". The only other one I have found was mammoth/mastodon so it was much larger. I have spent a lot time in the last week searching for a possible match and the closest I can come up with is bear patella. I am not 100% sure it is in fact a patella and if so bear. I would appreciate input to help ID the find. Thanks! Measurement: Inches - 2 5/16" x 1 7/8" x 1 1/4" MM - 56mm x 48mm x 28mm

I have numerous worm tunnels, casts, an body fossils that are all very similar from Eagle Ford, then I found the one with black squiggles that is very different, is it just the preservation that is different or is it something else? The other one is from Grayson marl which I'm not as familiar with, the rather delicate branching structure has no resemblance to the worm tunnels/fossils I'm used to finding, is it something else or different species of worm perhaps?

This tooth was previously posted in the trip section with my description as a possible modern pig tooth. There was a suggestion that it could be something else- large headed llama. With that in mind and not being able to nail it down myself here it is for evaluation. With roots the height is 24mm. The crown is 10mm in height and 11mm wide. The widest point on the crown surface is 3mm. just realized the ruler in the photos is showing inches.

Picked this bone up in the Peace River, FL last week. I have been trying to find a match since getting it home but have not been successful. I first thought it could be turtle or alligator. I had no luck matching it up there and went to land mammal possibilities but again came up empty on a possible match. So, I am turning to the forum for help with an ID. Any input would be appreciated. The bone is 7 cm long x 3.5 cm wide x 3 cm tall/thick. Thanks for looking!

Good morning all ive never found coprolite as far as I know. I’m wondering if either of these two are. If so, of what and if not, what are they? Note the hair or fiber of some sort in the lighter colored one. As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge

I have no idea what this little object is. It’s not wood, not man made, not a concretion as far as I can tell. Half inch long & found in big brook

I was in big brook early Saturday. After the storm Friday the water was higher faster and murkier than usual. I was walking down stream trying avoid stepping on and tripping in some of the big stones. I avoided a roundish one but noticed some lines on it. Looked again and the lines were not just random. It was 3-6 inches below the waterline and I bent over to look at it more closely. It was a turtle shell. It was bigger than my pan it looked to be complete. Omg! I was so excited. Fossil or modern? I figured modern but was just fine. My concern was that it would have innerds att attached bu

I cover 5 counties in SW Mo for my job, and always go fossil hunting. Always crinoinds and their bedmates, unilt this. Low water crossing washed out, so I went hunting. I found this unique fossilation of something. The rock I drug home is 2' x 18". No other fossils except those pictured, anywhere else on the rock. There is another grouping of this same still in the creek, except still attached to creek bottom, that I cannot remove. This was found in Bryant Creek, east of Ava, Missouri in Douglas County. My thinking is possibly some type of foliage? There are

On my last visit to the Peace River I found several partial bones in the area where I found a piece of a mammoth/mastodon metatarsal. This is also the spot where I recovered a piece of jaw bone, carpal bone and teeth of mammoth and mastodon. The bones I am posting now are ones I am not sure are even enough to hope for an ID. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. BONE #1: BONE #2: BONE#3: Thanks for loo

So this one has always fascinated me-always thought it was some sort of conical shell, but now not so sure? Also found in St. Louis county in the same rock as the "gooosneck barnacle", of which I will get better pics Appreciate any thoughts! Bone

Found this piece while walking on a newly excavated (6-8 inches deep) plains path about 30 miles southeast of Boulder, Colorado. I'm new to the area and trying to ramp-up on the geology and fossils with limited background knowledge but much time being retired. Overwhelming and fascinating! Several hikes to Dinosaur Ridge and Dr. Bakker's museum in Morrison. To my untrained eye it looks like a rib or similar flat bone piece. The dark interior color and texture seem somewhat "different" (?).

I have a number of used paint and dry wall mud buckets but the seem to loose the handles or crack after a few years. YETI makes the load out 5 gallon bucket for about $36.00 U.S. Has options like a tool holder bag or cover. Very pricey but thick and rugged. The big box stores even sell empty ones. I've found a few along the road side on trash days. Your thoughts please.

Hi to Forum members; I am an amateur rock collector who likes to look for fossils. For the most part I have not found anything fantastic but I am hopeful. I kindly request any information and or comments about a recent flint specimen from my back garden in Ipswich, Tuddenham Road. I have other photos of the flint that show unusual structures. On those photos, I used my photo app to adjust the exposure to get more fine detail. If it will help, I would gladly share. Also from my back garden, I found a petrified seed/pod/nut shell. Can someone help me identify what it is

Two more items from the Peace River yesterday that I hope may be able to be identified -

Sometimes, in our lives, we can be in love with someone or something, that's the case with me now. I made a gift to myself and I'm in love with it. I just want to ask, if the specimen below might be close to one of the Green River fishes. It cames from Austria, but the seller can't remember where it is from. It was bought 20 years ago and kept in good conditions, as reflect the original pictures of the seller. Any idea / confirmation / comment on the margin, will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Phil from Tulsa, Oklahoma here. I am needing help identifying the following in the photos (2 log sized objects...one is about 3 feet and the other about 2 feet..heavily pitted. The smaller one has a central core pattern (light but visible). Found on lakeshore in NE Oklahoma. In your opinion, rock, fossilized wood, or other. The pieces are very hard-I haven't done a hardness test but it felt like stone and was extremely heavy.

Supposed to be from the Cretaceous, found in Mota del Cuevo (Spain). I think it may be a jellyfish... on a shell... Note the soft-looking round brownish double structure on the center. Between the two structures it looks transparent white. Underneath there is a shell. On top there is a stick-structure with another round structure of a different kind I think. What is it? Thank you!

Found these today in N Central Arkansas - any thoughts?

Two experienced veterans here took me to one of their favorite collecting spots and together we searched the area and came up with many fine specimens of ammonites, clams and gastropods that defined the food chain and some of the more common species. Being new to this I would have to rely on them or others for proper identification, but the ecology of the site became crystal clear to me as I implemented my survey technique. Unfortunately my site photos were accidentally erased on my camera but I will take and post more on my future visits. The site is dominated by a gently sloped mesa capp
