Hello everyone, this my 1st entry is to find some help to identify if these are fossils since I'm new in this world of fossils & rocks. I live in the island of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean and I've seen corals and reefs and these specimens looks like some wich I've seen. Both have cristal or quartz like features all over and the hardness is like that of quartz. One is like cramy orange in color and the other is like ivory or cream in color. But the last one is totally different because there are a ring of quartz bits on top of that sedimentary rock like shown in the last photos. The location where I found them was in a river in the mountains of the east center of the island (not in the coast) Thanks for the help in advance and please excuse if any errors made.

Hi there, This is my first forum post, I'm UK based in the South West. About 6 months to a year ago I visited Charmouth in Dorset and ended up coming home with this particular rock. I've always wondered if the structures breaking the surface were fossils or instead natural geological features. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all, I'm not even sure it's fossil... It's from Northern Spain. Thank you in advance!

Hi Forum, i'd like to know what is or what caused this striped part of this rock and the little dotted part on the top. I collected it in the Omhden quarry (Germany, next to Holzmaden) the length of the striped part is about 5cm while the max length of the rock is 17cm Thanks a lot Paolo

Hello there everyone! I found this in North Myrtle Beach, any ideas as to what it is? It's got some porous parts which make me think bone but I have no clue. Thanks in advance for any information!

Hello there! Found this in North Myrtle beach and can't quite put my finger on what it could be. Interesting pieces once you look closely, I'd love anyone's take on this! Thanks in advance for any information.

Was very curious as to how this one came to look as it does. Any help is appreciated. Some of the photos are before and after a good cleaning.

Greetings all. In the spirit of tricks and treats today, I figured I'd post a slightly disingenuous ID question. Or maybe someone will surprise me and tell me that it actually is a fossil, rather than a "rossil". I'm not holding my breath. I was camping at Jalama last week, when it was pushing 90 degrees on the beach. It was a pleasant couple of days but the weather made it less so than one would expect. I did end up breaking up a few cleavable pieces that came from a fresh fall at the back of the closest cliff to the South side of the campground, but found nothing. And it was too darn hot, and my old back was protesting the whole thing, so I gave up on breaking rocks in pursuit of Jalama's famous "exploded fish" (That was for you, Doren. RIP, buddy.). Instead I just took a little walk on the sand with my partner. Aside from the joy of the Jalama beach hopscotch, i.e. skipping around and over gobs of tar seeps, we were just looking for interesting rocks, shells, etc. One thing I found was a thing I'll call a "Rossil". (I'd be surprised if the term hasn't been used before.), I'm 99.99% sure that it is indeed a "Rossil". I just don't know what it's from. Anyway, it sure looks a lot like a vert, perhaps caudal, but it is very flat on one side. Of course that could be from the absolute geological crushing it has been taking through eons as it "rossilized". So, what do the experts think of my rossil? Keep it friendly, folks. Happy Halloween, all.

Hi, I am new to the site. I have had this rock for 50 years. I would love to know what it is and how it was made. I don't remember much about the details on getting it. The kid I got it from lived in Virginia. I always thought it was a petrified egg. Some of the people I shown it to say it was just a stone in flowing water for a long time. A tool for native Americans to make paint, or a heating stone for native Americans to heat water. I have had it x-rayed, with no results. I would really appreciate anyone who can tell me about it or where I can get it tested without destroying it. The surface is porous looking not smooth.

Which type of coral is this? (And how old it is if possible to answer?)

What kind of coral is this? I'm not an expert, but just love to explore and found this beautiful thing. I tried to google it but found no match. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
