    Shell Fossil? (ID needed)

    Hi everyone, I found this fossil at the beach in the Netherlands in the province of Zeeland. It looks like a shell but I would like to know more about it! Thanks!

    Anyone able to id please?

    Found this little guy in a rock in Southerndown, Wales. Anyone able to id please? Thanks!

    Is this a genuine oyster fossil shell?

    This piece was advertised as an oyster Fossil I would really appreciate any input on whether or not this is a genuine fossil, and would anyone know from what region it might have come from. It is being sent from Texas. Thank you so much everyone for your help and expertise. The piece is 10 inches long. The entire piece feels like stone.
  4. Nothosaurus

    Are these real shell fossils?

    I would really appreciate advice on whether or not this matrix of shells or fossilized. It is being advertised as fossilized shells, but I want to make sure before I would purchase it. Thank you so much everyone for your expert advice.

    What the heck are these?

    Found around or near Siskiyou County Far Northern California. The largest looks like fossilized crystals, the next largest seems like fossilized shells and even a fuzzy thing growing in it, the rock definitely has what looks like the shell of something and then there is a white brown rock. Im not a collector just want to know what these are and if people would be interested in them. thanks for any information.
  6. Just posting some pics of some finds from Chivo Canyon from 2020 and 2024. Would really appreciate any ID inputs on the Unknown Fossils especially the roundish one with many circles in it. It was roughly 4-5" in diameter in the center of a roughly 1 foot diameter rock. Guessing Sponge, Coral, or may an Echinoderm like an Urchin. The Chivo Canyon area is known to have fossils from the Eocene, and Oligocene periods. There are also a couple other unknown fossils which could be bones but not sure. The Tower Snails or Turritellas are probably mostly Turritella Uvasana. I don't know what the other Gastropods are. Thanks in advance for any ID ideas! -Chris.

    three swatara ordovician organisms

    Hi. In this rock from Swatara in PA (ordovician), I see three fossils: (1) Looks like a leaf, about 1" across (2) round stone-like object about 1/2" across, and (3) small rippled shell about 1/4" across. Any IDs would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    Mazon Creek Finds - Tully?

    Hello all! I’ve had the chance to get out a few times this year, collecting has been good! So far 3 trips, my daughter has a Tully, a friend found a half of one (hopefully posts it!) and we’ve had numerous random open fossils of various species. And LOTS of full concretions to freeze-thaw open. Here’s a few I was hoping to get confirmation on - I found some good clues in Jack Wittry’s book. 1) My daughter’s Tully - found open, covered in mineral deposits. 2) A large shrimp - weathered and probably open for a long time 3) Maybe an Orbiculoidea sp.? Pretty weathered but looks close to the books Lastly maybe an indeterminate discoidal cephalopod? I only have half of the fossil but it’s quite a deep concretion & shell shaped. Thanks for stopping by! Pat

    Hello, my name is Lance. I stumbled across this forum today because earlier, I found a shell fossil and I just had to know what it was. Haven't gotten my answer just yet, considering my post is fairly new, but I can't wait to find out what it is (I think it might be a mold fossil of something)
  11. I recently came across a fossilised shell in a chalk cliff in Normandy, France, near the town of Livarot. There were other shells and invertebrates, but this was very clear and beautiful. It's only about 2 cm wide, and I was wondering if anyone could advise me what it might be? In advance, thanks.
  12. looks like shell or kidney? or big beans?

    Peace River: types of turtle shell IDs

    Greetings, I am working on my next display and am trying to sort through the various pieces of turtle shell. I have attempted to divide and label them as much as I can, using references I will post. This is my first attempt at turtle shell and have relied entirely on examples and available resources, so any correction/confirmation/explanation would be most appreciated. On my paper (in case it's unreadable - tendonitis flaring up so handwriting quality going down), the upper half of the page is carapace, the lower half is plastron, the left half is softshell and the right half is hard shell. I included a composite image which has better focus on each quadrant (terrible lighting today), and a larger image on which I wrote my attempts at further identification. References: This whole thread: This image (location directly on image): This image was very helpful: And these hand-drawn diagrams I found to be most accessible:
  14. I've found this mollusc fossils in the Saudi Arabia desert, one hour away from Riyadh city. It seems all this area was ocean during the the early cretaceous period. Meaning that these fossils can have around 77 million years old? They are bigger than a tennis ball! Can someone help to identify these exactly and the possible date of age? Thank you!

  15. Hi All! Whilst in southern Spain I came across these three very interesting fossils (at least I know one of them is) please could you help identify the other two? #1 This shell like fossil was full of rock, which I managed to remove without damaging the shell. #2 I'm not so sure about this one, it has some interesting mineral going through it and the markings which looks like an arrow with a circle at the base are what caught my eye. #3 And the ammonite, correct me if this is wrong. Thanks in advance for any help that can be given 😁
  16. Hello all! We have these small fossils from the Yorktown Formation that we are not sure what they are. They fizzle under HCl! Any help would be appreciated. BTW, the divisions on the scale bar are 5mm. Thanks so much! Miguel M
  17. Greetings, I have 4 pieces from Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset that I am having trouble identifying. They were found during a fossil hunt led by the Charmouth Heritage Coast Center when they brought us to a stretch of beach between the Centre and Black Ven to the west. We would have been looking through the Black Ven Mudstone 'Shales with Beef' portion on the foreshore, which is from the Jurassic (no surprise, given the name of the area) period. Here are my best guesses: A = rolled bone, B = crinoid stem or coral, C = multiple bivalves and ammonite impression in matrix, D (the unlabelled one) = wood As always, corrections/confirmations/clarifications are much appreciated, as is your time for reading my post!

    Is this a real shark tooth or shell?

    can anyone tell by the picture whether or not this is a shark tooth or a shell? I found it on the coast of Georgia a few weeks ago I’ve read a little bit about shark teeth versus shells in the Internet. The more I think about it, I’m much more confused. Can anyone please tell me your thoughts.
