I found what appears to be a small sandstone on a Tampa Bay beach in Florida. It's about 1 inch by 1 1/4 inch. After looking at it under magnification I saw unusual vein-like strands on these raised tanner bumps on both sides. What is it? Is it a fossil? Thanks Guys! Front view angles

Dear Guys, I recently found three very interesting remains- two inarticulate brachiopods and shark like scale in sandstone erratic. Judging by brachiopod fossils I think they belong to paterinids and then this erratic is probably Cambrian in age! One inarticulate brachiopod is 6 mm and another is 3 mm diameter. Shark like scale (maybe the oldest in the world) is 2 mm length and has fragment of root in one side visible. Please help to identify these brachiopods to know the exact age. Any help will be very appreciated! Best Regards Domas

While out before a snowstorm hit the area I was in search of fossils in different areas back in a deep canyon. I found this on a slope for an area known for Silurian/Devonian formations. The Devonian (Sly Gap) is known for sandstone which this specimen is in. Above that it is Mississippian with no such sandstone that I am aware of. I'm gathering some samples to begin learning fossil prep. As this is sandstone, I recall from college using DMSO to loosen sandstone matrix...so it was going to be a sandstone experiment versus the limestone specimens I've got lined up for when my vibro engraver shows up. Anyway, enough babble....any ideas? Length is 2" on the dot.

A better, non-chalk image of a previous post. I think it might be a possible Batrachopus footprint (missing a toe, the rock is broken on the left side). Hartford Basin Portland Formation Western Massachusetts-

Ammonite, other than that i don't know anything about this one, I don't even remember where I got it. -

I removed a mosasaur tooth from this. Bought at a fossil store. Various bone, identity unknown unless it is associated with the mosasaur tooth. -
I found this fossil near Rockford, IL in a creek bed. The native bedrock here is Ordovician, however I am pretty sure most of the rocks in this creek traveled here on a glacier. It's fossilized in sandstone, which I think is pretty cool, but I'm not sure what it is. A sponge? Stromatoporoid?
