I have this rock that kind of reminds me of a tongue, but I don't think it is. I haven't seen others like it. Do you think it's natural, fossil, or something else? Iron maybe? Not magnetic. Any thoughts?

I was looking at waterfalls and then I found this. Is it a fossil or at least a footprint. Please help.

I bought this rock at an antique shop today. It was labeled as a “tip”, of which I do not have much of an interest. However, I do think the tiny fossil embedded in it looks interesting. Is it a type of crinoid stem, or something similar? The back of the rock has some type of glue residue and green felt stuck to it.

Hi folks. spotted this on a recent holiday in the UK to the south coast ( Dorset - the Jurassic coast ). the rock was approx. 250kg and I got it down to 80kg to get it in the car. the reason was I noticed this strange raised disc edge shape within the rock which does not appear man made. the rock is extremely hard. I plan to start removing the rock to expose more of it as I'm curious. any ideas as to if this is even a fossil and if so what it could be.

I have a little rock, smaller than a marble. It looks like a fingerprint on a rock. Any ideas what it is? That's a marble for size comparison.
-
This rock almost looks like a piece of styrofoam. Anyone know if it's a fossil or what it is? I had no luck in finding anything like it. That's a marble for comparison, really small.

Gday all, was wondering if this was an egg or a rock? I found it on a beach in Australia near the border of south Australia and Victoria when I was a kid, I cut it in half and just forgot about it for around 20 years!

I'm trying to clean the limestone and loose sediment off this speciman. I'm not sure if I am wasting my time. Or if this is a fossil. I'm a novice hoping to find a cool fossil, but old enough to admit failure, if this isn't a fossil. Please help. To me, (the inexperienced novice) lol. It looks like a small skull and neck vertebra of a iguana type??

Hey all you wonderful folks... I have had this rather heavy piece of what I think is petrified wood for a few years... I found it in outside of jasper park ( Alberta Canada) along a river area or in British Columbia area again along a river I can’t remember which... I was excited when I found it because it looks sooo unique and it is quite heavy for its size my would be a lb or lb and half... any way so I am really looking at it today and now I am questioning if she is petrified wood lol please help me I “wood” (aha) appreciate it. Thank you

This is my first thread, but hopefully not my last. I have always loved picking up unique rocks ever since childhood, but only occasionally finding an obvious fossil. As an adult, I purchased my first home in southern Michigan, which I believe sits atop a moraine. This "moraine" is a 5 acre pile of sand, rocks, and boulders which rises about 40 feet higher than the surrounding fields. A few weeks ago, I found the pictured stone poking out of one of the slopes. I am fascinated by it, and am curious what it could be. The stone is triangular, approximately 20" long and 10" thick. The greenish layer visible is only a couple inches thick, with the remainder resembling a red granite. Aside from the organic feel, I am particularly fascinated by the 5" leaf shape on top with the "Z" inside of it. I just can't picture this being the result of rock formation/erosion. Thanks for any help!

This came from Binghamton New York, had it given to me and I’m not really sure if it’s a fossil or just a really oddly shaped rock lol What do you guys think???
-
This rock has so many different formations, like it's been glued together. Can someone tell me how this can be melted in several places with such odd formation?

Good afternoon to all! Once again I apologize for my great ignorance in the world of minerals. My daughter bought directly from the mines, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, this beautiful rock: I can assure you it is not Burnt Amethyst. It's natural and came straight from the mine! The problem is that the explorer of the mine, sold this rock to my daughter with the label of: Hematoid Quartz. So here is my question, that is: Please, what is the difference from a Hematoid Quartz to a Citrine? @ynot

Was down at Big Brook NJ today and came across this specimen. Looking for some help in identifying what I actually have. Is it a rock or a fossil. If the latter is it a tooth?
-
Hello everybody, my son just found this out on a farmers field in Denmark. To me it looks like a rock but he in convinced it’s a dinosaur tooth, he is only 4 so I have gone along with it, but it does look very much like a tooth. So so what do you think, just a strange shaped rock or could something be in it? Can only upload 2 pics so sorry for that. Thanks

Hello, I was out walking literally in the middle of nowhere near Jarray, British columbia. There were many different rock out crops and cliffs so i decided to have a peak around. Eventually I came to a hill littered with tens of thousands of rock chunks. Then this guy caught my eye, nothing else in the area even remotely resembled the porous characteristic of this specimen. So I was curious on your thoughts whether this could be bone or just a run of the mill porous rock? Thanks!

I've had been in possession of this for almost 20 years now and never knew for certain if it was just a rock or if it was a fossil. I unfortunately do not remember how I even obtained it since it was so long ago so I don't know where it originated from. Any insight into what it is will be greatly appreciated!! It's about 3.5 cm x 3 cm.
