I dug this directly from the so-called “red bed” (making it Permian) in the north sulphur river. I thought it might be petrified wood, but I am confused as to what the piece is embedded in it. Any ideas?

We found this while cutting trails in our forest, on the banks of our spring fed natural pond. We live in southeast Oklahoma, in the Ouachita National Forest, in the Kiamichi River Valley. All of which used to be underwater eons ago. Every single person who has seen it in person, has said it looks like a petrified turtle. It’s heavy like stone & the top is darker with a slight greenish tint & is very smooth & not rough like the bottom or like a rock. The outdoor lighter is 12 inches long. Thank you so much in advance, for your help & insights into what it could possibly be!

Need help in identifying this it was found when digging holes for a fence. It appears the tip was hit with my auger and broke off since it had a fresh break on the end. My 5-year son located near one of the holes and doesn't remember which one so I'm not sure if I want to go digging all the holes to find the rest of it. Thanks in advance!

I found this at the Siskiyou Pass near the border of Oregon and California. It was in 2 pieces when I found it - that fit together. In this same area I found lots of petrified wood including petrified palm wood and other petrified wood both large and small. Could this be a petrified palm nut? The length of the 2 pieces together is over 15 centimeters and the diameter where it broke is over 6 centimeters.

Hi, I was given a big bucket of miscellaneous minerals from the rock shop. They’re nothing too special and nothing they can really sell. This piece is I found in the bottom of the bucket and it’s a little odd to me. Is this bone or petrified wood? It’s pretty solid and heavy. Are there any tests I could do to determine? Thank you all for the help

My brother collects rocks, I however do not. I was at a local auction and there were a number of neat rocks I purchased a bunch and turns out for the most part I did really well. However, this one neither of us knew about but given they came from a museum I was hopeful, the label reads “Petrified turtle eggs, sack of three eggs, Lamedeer, Montana.” I have a whole five bucks invested into it so it won’t hurt me if it’s just a rock.

In our cottage in an island there are these big rocks that were dug up from the ground when we first built our house but there is one rock in particular that looks like it may have been underwater at some point and I sure am interested in the possibility of maybe finding some fossils, what's your opinion ?does it look like it may have been underwater? And could this area have fossils? Thanks

Supposedly these came from the Missouri River valley in central South Dakota. One old timer says he was told they are petrified bones. They are very solid and high strength. Somewhat symmetrical on the longitudinal axis. Sandstone appearance on surface. What are these, any ideas?

I found this in eastern tennessee along with many other itemts.

His all I found this what I assume is some sort of petrified bone. It is shiny and very hard, and seems mineralised. About 2.5cm long by about 2. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I only joined the forum after finding this.

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to be part of this amazing forum! I can’t wait to learn! I’m a rock hound whose happened upon many fossils and a few effigies possibly relics without having a clue that they were more than rocks till recently and by dumb luck! So any advice or schooling is very welcome! And please tell me when I’m just seeing things differently as with clouds! Because that’s what my hubby and all his buddies say, it’s just clouds tiff. I’m hoping I can prove them WRONG on a few! Thanks for welcoming me in people!
