Today I was walking up a small stream in western Minnesota and I grabbed a large rock to toss and under it was this thing that kinda looked like a tooth. I emailed it to my paleontologist friend and while he couldn’t identify it (he specializes is Texas fauna and actually identified a Patelodus tooth for me last month) he found it interesting. I found this forum and knew it was the next best place to try. I have no expectations and I appreciate any and all thoughts. I’ve followed the topic and I’m happy to answer any questions. Thanks -Jeff IMG_

What are these fossils and how old are they ?
FossilizedGerman posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello! So I found these three fossils and was curious to know about them... one i think is to be a bryozoan branch the tooth i believe to be a cow tooth not sure how old it may be and the last one is a type of small brachiopod its super tiny but again I don't know much about fossils yet but I am ready to learn more ! So if any one knows anything about these fossils that'd be a great help! First 6 pictures are from the riverbed and the last two are from the beach in Lübeck,Germany Thanks! -
Hi everyone! Would anyone be able to identify this pattern? To me it looks almost fleshy, and I cannot find any similar images online. Place found: Austrian Alpine region; riverbed Any clues would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks everyone! The bottle cap is a standard bottle cap:)

Any ideas what this could be? I found it by a dried up river bed outside of St.George Utah. There was a lot small pieces of petrified wood close by.

I have this big and heavy chunk of rock, found lying on the riverbed of lots of loose rocks, with almost every rock having some sort of fossil in them. My rock stands out from the general rock population. It has lots of quartz, some kind of shells, yellow sand in holes and crevises, and some articulated small bone looking things. At close look you see interesting textures. At first I imagined I was seeing some starfish and coral, but I can't make it out. I am a total amateur with just a pile of books and the internet. Anyone?

These were all found in the same river, over time. It is a river in SE Texas known for fossil finds from large mammals in the Pleistocene. I think due to their river tumbling they are not identifiable, but I just wanted to see if it is possible they could be some type on mineral rather than bones? Pics are front back. We find a lot of petrified wood in the area too, but it normally looks distinct from this. The two on the left almost look like they are variations of the same thing, and the one second from left has some kind of almost enamelish looking stuff in threads on the surface. Non

Found this while hunting geodes in TN. Any thoughts?

I know there are tons of 'not an egg' look alike rocks but as they don't seem to resemble this one I will venture to ask...my daughter found this in a shallow riverbed on our camping trip last week to central Connecticut. The brown shell like pieces are thick and uniform. There are some in the opposite side as well, will upload more pictures. This pic was taken the day of the find. Any insight would be welcome. My daughter is 4 and pulled it out because we were discussing all the different colors of the river rocks. This one looked nothing like the others. A man we had chatted with the day pri

hi everyone, I found this fossil embedded on honeydew sized rock on a riverbed the the western alpine region of Austria, (Hinterhornbach). I am sorry for not having included a ruler as i was on a hike and did not want to take the rather large stone away from the area at the moment. I am curious to know if this is in fact a fossil of some sort, as I am by no means an expert when it comes to fossils. At the imprints widest point i would say is 10cm. The detailed texture which is printed resembles leather or elephant skin, as there are small wrinkles that run across the shape while the comp

My son found this while on Boy Scout canoe trip on the Buffalo River in Newton Co., Arkansas. (6-2-20) Found in a river bed. Some type of molar tooth?

I cleaned it up quite a bit, picked it up thinking the top part of the tooth was a beautiful agate , was not disappointed though!

Found this, what looks like a shell in granite. Riverbed in Wallonia, south of Belgium. River, the Ourthe (or Semois). Any chance this could be named or roughly dated?

The pictures show the front and back of a small slab of stone (approx 6in x 6in x 0.5in thick). I have no experience of fossils and so am completely in the dark with this. The stone was on the stony beach which was exposed due to low rainfall - it would ordinarily be under water in a small stream about 2m wide. The pattern is 3D - as if the dark areas within the lighter lattice-type lines have been slightly hollowed out (perhaps only by 0.5 mm). A friend guessed that they may be plant fragments. The stream runs close to an area in Scotland frequented by Druids many centuries ago, as well as

Found what seems to be a tooth in the Big Sioux River just inside the border of Iowa. Hoping to figure out what it's from. It appears to have a sedimentary formed abscess on it which leads me to believe it may be older. It's about half an inch tall and roughly just as wide

Hi all my name is Jeff. Long time listener, first time caller. I found this while walking the Cuiver River in central Lincoln co. MO. Would definitely appreciate some input!

I found and odd rock that from what I see online seems similar to a mammoth Molar perhaps. Or maybe I just want it to be lol. Either way would appreciate any help identifying it or just telling me I found a rock.

I found this in my back yard which was farm land 40 plus years ago about 50 yards from a drainage easement.

Hello, I am a new member as of today but have been reading for a while. My son and I have recently gotten into rock collecting. We haven’t gone fossil collecting yet but hope to do so soon. We found these in Inland Southern California in the foothills of the Big Bear area. The site was next to a river or what’s left of it this time of year anyway. I have tried to rule out pseudofossils and different types of rocks. These also remind me of what a ranger described to me as jellyfish fossils while visiting the Bristlecone Pine area in CA. Similar samples were also on display. The seco

I believe this is a petrified mushroom I had dug up a couple years ago..i am wondering if it has now become amber..it is translucent when a bright light is against it..if anyone knows about this type of mushroom I would be interested on any info...thanks

Hello everyone! It was a beautiful, but hot day today on the North Sulphur River in Ladonia, Texas. I found a few nice specimens, but I need some help identifying them. This one was found on the top of the surface near the bank. It is not as heavy as a piece of rock, but it reminds me of the piece of mammoth tooth enamel that I found there a while back. It has a few shiny, smooth areas and has a slight curve to it. Definitely a broken piece of something. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I'm a complete amateur & need some help. Camping in Apple River Canyon state park, Illinois in what is called the driftless area. They had a huge flood wash through the canyon a week or so before my trip, relocating tons & tons of rock. I found a few fossils, but don't know what they are or how to clean them up. Thanks

I found it in the Montana rocky mtns in a old dried up riverbed.

I found this embedded in some rock at the bottom of a riverbed in Wimberly, Tx, a little north of San Antonio. Can you help me ID it? It looks like a claw of some sort. Is hard as a rock.

Howdy folks! So took advantage of a beautiful friday afternoon with my girlfriend. Went for a hike on the river bed that I usually sport alone. She hasn't found any fossils/fragments before so I was more then willing to help her find her first. Came up with a couple finds, Pictures posted below. One coral and another a fragment of an Ammonite. I tried getting the best possible shot i could with my phone camera for the colours on this piece. Pictures do no justice when it comes to the array of colours this piece emits. Then for lunch we settled down for a little wiener roast by the strea
