I'm interested in a few of these turtle fossils supposedly found in the Neuse river in North Carolina. They are also labeled as Cretaceous. Do you think this is accurate or could they be from another age and or locality?

I found this in Piney River in Middle Tennessee. It is approximately 7" long, 3.5" wide and 1.5" high. I have never found anything like it before. Is it a fossil or just a cool rock?

Dear friends, This is my first fossil and I am new in this forum. Someone please help me to identify this? Thank you Elie

Fossilienfundstellen am Wasser......ich habe meine eigene Fundstelle.......direkt vor der Haustür. Mein Sohn ist jetzt 4 Jahre alt, seit er laufen kann, werfen wir mit viel Spaß Steine in den großen Fluß, den deutschen Fluß - ´Der Rhein`. Alles was er greifen kann fliegt ins Wasser, manchmal muß ich rufen: Stop! Das ist ein Papa- Stein! Farblose durchscheinende Quarze, selten Achat und das halbe Alphabet habe ich schon so vor den Wasserfluten retten können und so manches Fossil. Der Rhein zerteilt ein mächtiges devonisches Schichtpaket in 2 Mittelgebirge, den Hunsrück und auf der anderen Seite den Westerwald und Taunus. In seinen Flußschottern transportiert er die erodierten fossil- führenden Schichten und lagert sie ....vor meiner Haustüre ab. So kann mein Junge schon von klein an die Wunder der Stein- Welt erleben und begreifen. In meiner Fossiliensammlungen hat der Junge natürlich auch seine Vitrinenplätze und sammelt da fleißig... hier sind ein paar Steine vom gestrigen Steine-Werfen: Rhein- Stein. Fossil sites at the water ...... I have my own reference ....... directly in front of the front door. My son is now 4 years old, since he can run, we throw stones with a lot of fun into the big river, the German river - 'the Rhine'. All he can take is flying into the water, sometimes I have to call: Stop! This is a Papa stone! Colorless translucent quartz, rarely agate and half the alphabet, I have already been able to save myself from the floods and many fossils. The Rhine divides a mighty Devonian stratagem in the middle range, the Hunsrück and on the other the Westerwald and Taunus. In his river gravel he transports the eroded fossil-bearing beds and stores them at my doorstep. This is how my boy can experience and understand the wonders of the stone world from a very early age. In my fossil collections, the boy naturally also has his showcases and collects diligently ... Here are a few stones from yesterday's stones throwing: Rheinstein. What about you? How did you start with fossil - hunting?

Has anyone an idea from what animal that hoof is from... Many thanks Kati
