Hi all! I am new to fossil hunting/collecting and came across these two on an island shore off the northwest coast of Michigan. It would be fun to know more about them. Thank you for any help in identifying the fossils. Chuck

Need some help identifying if it’s a fossil (Collected from Rhode Island)
veenasaur posted a topic in Fossil ID
Just came back from a fossil hunting trip. Most of my findings are on softer shale rocks so they’re very delicate. Really would appreciate your help to identify whether they’re a fossil or just a cool looking rock. I have tried my best to take good pictures but I am willing to post again if anyone wants a different angle.- 13 replies

I live in southern Ontario County, New York State. I found this in my long gravel driveway, meaning it presumably came from a local quarry. I believe it to be shale and am wondering if it is a cast fossil of perhaps a cephalopod. I am a raw newbie; this is my first post about a fossil. Thanks!

I found this bag of shattered fossils in my father's fossil collection. Where might this type of fossil material come from? Is this shale? It's almost chalky and very fragile. It seems to be have shattered in shipping. Is any of it worth saving? And if so, what to do? Thanks in advance!

Hello All, Here are a few pctures of some fossils I have found. the first is: 1. Coprolite: these vary in size and slightly in colour. - Country: Australia - State: N.S.W - Town: Cunjurong Point They were exposed on the ground, a clay based ground and there were (Probably still are) hundreds of them exposed. Im curious to know when they might be from and weather it was a dinosaur or an animal more recent. 2. Not sure what this one is? - Country: Australia -State: N.S.W - Town: Somersby This was found while bushwalking through and area where Shale rock was very dominant. Looks like perhaps some type of leaf? 3. Again, not sure what this one is, but its a larger version of the previous one. - Country: Australia - State: N.S.W - Town(Area): Maitland Bay - bottom of a cliff face with many types of rock and mineral, again shale was very present in certain areas. Any help I.D-ing these would be great. Thanks All.
