I found a couple of weird rocks in a beach. Are they fossils or normal rocks? Location: Ormos Lemonias, Greece. I would appreciate if you could identify whether this particular one is a fossil or not, the other is similar but I can't send it right now.

Manavgat (Mediterranean coastal Turkey) - 36.7418835,31.66006184, altitude c. 200m On the path we walked up I spotted this. I've no idea what it really is but it made me think of a starfish/sea urchin type of creature though perhaps the features better fit some kind of flat sea-type creature? Cheers! Over to you all...

I found this shell at half moon bay in Northern California, It washed up on shore. Im pretty sure it’s a fossil - I’m wondering what type of shell it is, and possibly how old it could be? Any help would be much appreciated! Approx dimensions: L3” x W2.5” x H1.5”

Hello to any fossil enthusiasts reading, I wonder if anyone can help me to identify an intriguing find from Dorset? I'm an absolute beginner in these matters. I found this piece on the shore poking out of some clay, it looks great with lots of bits of old shell and some lovely starfish looking things. It was originally part of a larger brittle rock which came apart, this is the most interesting fragment. What I am really interested in is the fossil to the right of the object which looks a bit like a foot. The "foot" is about an inch in length, although the fact it has six "toes" appears to rule it out as an actual foot. The base of the "foot" is textured like scales. Any thoughts? Right now I can't even be sure it it's animal, vegetable or mineral. Any bonus identifications of the other bits and pieces in the rock would of course be welcome too, but I'm sure I could figure them out.

The Photos attached are the last of the 5 fossils I have been unable to identify in the last 2 years. This fossil has also been found on the shores of Lake Huron, in the Grey Bruce county area in Ontario, Canada. I like this fossil a lot, as you can see the exposed bottom of the fossil, as well as the exposed side of the fossil, with the rest trapped in the rock. Any thoughts on what creature this could be? Perhaps a muscle or large barnacle?

Hello, I live in western Kentucky and work at a resort and marina on ky lake i always find small cylindrical fossils but today I found a giant cluster of them I figured it to be some kind of salt water plant but any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated

I found this sea urchin recently and figured I would share it with the forum. Not sure if it's a newly discovered species but it's a pretty nice piece. It looks like it got partly smashed somehow before petrification. It was found just outside the city limits of Uvalde, Tx near a slough that runs into the Leona River. So far I only have one picture to post but I will get a shot of the underside when I find the right lighting.

Hello all, I just found these two things on a beach of the Baltic Sea in Latvia. The bigger one could fool me because the black part is very much like wood, however the bottom part (the gum?) has an interesting texture. Also, I don’t know how to describe it but the bottom part feels almost sort of fresh, like it’s not very old…. While it’s hard and solid it still looks wet unlike other fossils I have held. Sounds silly but maybe it helps identifying it. Although the smaller one is very similar, I almost have no doubt that it’s a tooth or claw. From what I could find on the internet, my best guess would be sperm whale tooth? Please tell me what you think. Thanks!

Double question: two small fossils in a stone and, possible bone?
Sandruski posted a topic in Fossil ID
Good morning! I share with you two findings that, as a rookie, I have collected with great enthusiasm on the beach in Alicante, a mediterranean city in Spain. The first, I think they are two small fossils collected in a small stone. The second, if I'm honest, I think it could be a bone. He was on the shore of the sea, among the stones. To the touch and to the sight, it did not seem like a conventional bone to me, but when I looked closely, I seemed to appreciate that it has an articulation socket area at both ends. I found it curious to say the least and I share it with you so that you can give me your opinion. I don't know if it is a bone that for some reason has reached the sea and has been there until the current has carried it to the coast. The "bone" (let's call it that until you confirm that it's just a stone and I feel like a fool), measures three centimeters. Thank you very much to all of you and excuse me for my mistakes writing in english. -
What is this?? It was found in Leavenworth KS while digging a ditch. It is in rock form and I've never seen anything like this! Measurements are approximately 6.5" x 3" x 3". Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I found these on a Croatian island - they don't strike me as one of their regular Jurassic finds, as it appears to be more inside a fault of petrified red soil amidst the abundant limestone. They look kinda "new". Can anyone tell me what they are? I found them on two locations. Not a geologist, so no idea. Whale and other large marine life bones? Polished by the sea? After some seizmic event?

Hello, I found this on a beach along Croatian coast and was unlike any of the surrounding rocks/geology. It's symmetrical and submarine-shaped. I'm wondering if it's a fossil v. a natural formation. Any information is greatly appreciated!
