Found this while fossil hunting at a beach in Newcastle, Australia. Assuming it’s a leaf, although not entirely sure. any info appreciated. Son (7 years old) is very excited to know more about it.

I found this in Germany. 3 cm long. Any idea what this is? I was thinking chert nodule, but what are the markings on it? Are they fossils of some sort? Thank you!

Hey fossil people... more specifically hey Arizona fossil people. I'm wondering if any of you have run across fossilized horn coral in this state? If you have, tell me about it. I'd love to see examples of what you've found. I"ve found lots of brachiopods and other marine life in Arizona but this is the first time I've found horn coral. The idea that Arizona used to be underwater is fascinating to me. Theyre not the prettiest specimens... but i found them and they're mine! Lol. For those wondering, I found these near Payson Arizona. Same place I've found byrozoans, brachiopods, and crinoids.

Hello everybody! Found that near kids sandbox in Prague, Czech Republic, in the city center. Sand and rocks from there are probably brought from some other area. But in this park, only few hundred meters from there some Trilobite fossils can be found. It was just laying on the ground. I think it can be a rock, but its very tooth looking rock. I am no expert in those things. It seems like there is a root. It's exactly 2cm from top to bottom. I can't find any shark tooth looking like that. Other animal? I tried my best in making those photos. But if you need some more details, I ll try. Let me know. I hope it will be fun for you to check it out. Thank you!

Found this in South Dakota with other petrified wood. I’m just wondering if this piece is for sure petrified wood, or just a rock? Thank you!

Good morning and thanks for the invite. I am going blind and just want to see and learn all I can while I can. I have found a few things while walking about here and there in between working outdoors and fishing on the rivers and lakes here in Texas. One piece in particular I found while exploring the property adjacent to where I was living in Cool, Tx (with the permission of the land owner of course) that resembles at a glance or in fact is a fossil. I suppose this could be verified through some sort of examination using equipment that could possibly x-ray or someone with a trained eye could say whether it is in fact a fossil or not. I sent pictures to one of the top universities in America and they said it was only a 'cool' rock It is about the size of your fist. I will post pics when I figure out how to. The two pieces I am sure are artifacts are a small mortar and a piece that resembles an animal. I will also attempt to post those pictures later on. Other than that I have quite a few small fossils found mostly in Tarrant county along with a ton of chert, jasper, agates, feldspar, quartz and flint found in Palo Pinto county where I now reside.

Look I found a thing! Usually when I see a rock embedded in another rock I think fossil... however IF this is a fossil I have no idea what it would be. So at this point im thinking maybe its another Xenolith. What are your thoughts? For anyone interested, this was found near Vancouver Canadia.

Hey everyone, I had to make a trip up to Spokane, Washington, to help my grandparents move. They’re moving in with us. While I was helping pack boxes, I found this rock in their garage. Obviously has fossils in it. My grandfather was kind enough to give it to me. Any idea what this is? Is it even a fossil? I am attaching pictures.

Hi all, So - disclaimer. Feel free to giggle as you read. Was outside in the yard and finally decided to see how big this rock was that has been peeking out of the surface for decades. Little did I expect it quickly became a ball shaped rock almost a foot and a half in diameter likely weighing over 200 - 300 pounds as the sucker isn't budging. My question is: Is this identifiable as anything specific other than "general rock" such as a mineral or whatnot? To me a rock is a rock but I've seen people here ID some amazing things so figured I'd throw the rock in your court. Last pic is wet for coloring - has a reddish hue

Found this by the beach. First intuitive feeling is that it is most probably a rock...?

I recently ordered some decorative stones for my garden when one of them happen to catch my eye. Is this a petrified mushroom it is hard like a rock but has very defined gills.
-
Hyachi!! What have I found?? I thought a rock that somewhat resembled the head and mouth of a shark. Thought that was kinda meat. So I washed it off a bit. And studied the rock awhile longer.

I found this earlier at the creek by my place here in SE Missouri while looking for flint to do some knapping. I've never seen a rock like this. What causes the the outer section to look like it was once fluid & i guess oozing around the other rock?

I found this rock on Folly Beach yesterday and know even less about these sorts of fossils than I do about shark's teeth. Can someone please tell me what this is? There are 3 of them in the rock, but the other one was harder to photograph. Thanks!

Hi-looking in a field in S.E. Michigan and found this thing. I cannot tell if it is a rock or a bone or a tooth. I am guessing most likely a rock, maybe with the holes from weathering or fossil inclusions? Any help would be much appreciated
-
I appreciate any guidance-my interest is for a general definition, as an art major, to integrate it in my work. I'm sure it's obvious to y'all, thank you for having this forum available.

Understand this may just be a rock but nothing around in the creek bed matches what this looks like. Not sure if it’s some sort of shell concretion or what. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts.
