I think it could be a fossil of a turtle shell possibly. Maybe scales. But I obviously am unsure. It does show alot of similar features to the top and the bottom parts of a turtles shell of a fresh water turtles I have been researching for the area. I found this near Frenchman Coulee along the Grand Coulee Canyon area in Washington. A location where many ice age floods have accured. It has faint crystalization on one side of the piece.

Hi all! I found this tiny fossil today. It is a bit under half a cm long at its longest point. I can only imagine this is an echinoid but some confirmation would be great! Found in some very fossiliferous rock on the UW Madison campus in Dane County Wisconsin, known for being late Cambrian - early Ordovician. No clue where this rock was quarried. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone, Recently found this oyster shell specimen from an area near Tampa FL amongst dredged limestone where I’ve found agatized coral. 99% sure it’s fossilized (has a very small amount of limestone stuck to the bottom), but something interesting is that there appears to be botryoidal agate coating it. Is this an agatized oyster? Is this a common find around tampa? And can I bleach it to remove algae?

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”

Hi, I found this trace fossil the other day and I'm having trouble identifying it. I saw something similar that was a coral with hexagons but I'm just not sure. Could you please give me a little help. Sorry the pictures are just from my phone, Thanks so much.

So as I was going to toss this piece of rock from a much larger split piece, I saw a very small white piece of shell, thought it was a portion of Mollusk shell. I always check so put it under the scope. Dentalium of some sort. Not sure it is worth the effort to try and remove it from the matrix, but at 4mm long (perhaps half of the full length, and a mm wide), smallest I've found. Perhaps in the dark of winter for something to do....Keasey Formation.

Hi could this possibly be a fossilized leaf? Or is it just my imagination. Found it in a creekbed near the Mississippi in Northern Missouri. Thanks in advance!

I found these while hunting at a land site in Monmouth county. I usually search on the high regions of the banks of a man made lake, and have found Cretaceous fossils like oyster fragments, Belemnite, brachiopods, and even 1 shark tooth. But today I came across a few of these shells that were only present in this one area. I walked along the entire lake and found nothing else like these. The lake itself does not seem like a suitable habitat capable of supporting snails of this magnitude. This site is also not near the ocean. If anyone has any info or guesses as to if these are fossils or modern, or how they might have gotten here, please let me know. Thanks! FullSizeRender.mov

I found this shell fossil 6 or so years ago on the fossil walk in Ulladulla, NSW, Australia. What I find strange about it is that it's a common species at this site, only it's deposited in a rock from after the species inhabited the area. The fossil is deposited in a stone transported to the area when glaciers moved though and, to the best of my knowledge, the fossils in Ulladulla are all from far before the glaciers arrived. Does anyone have any ideas how this fossil came to be here? Thanks

hi guys , need some help with these guys , any information would be great, the stone is from an old German collection that's all the info i have.

Can someone please help me identify this? I found it years ago, cant remember even where. Looks beautifully preserved for me but...I know nothing about fossil so will be grateful for any info you can provide.

This is probably a long shot, but I was hoping someone could identify the gastropod in the attached image, at least to family. Embedded in silicified Miocene-age limestone (chert, Tampa Member, Arcadia Formation) from eastern Hillsborough County, Florida. Commonly found associated with charophytes, a freshwater algae. Thanks!

Hello! Me and my partner found this fossil cluster on a beach along the west coast of Denmark, We would like to know more about it if you guys know :) some questions we had are is the big shiny shell something more modern that had the smaller fossils stuck to it somehow? Or is it also a fossil? It seems out of place and in good condition compared to the rock and small ones surrounding it. Also why would the rock with the small shells be so porous and the underside be so curved like it is? Any help is appreciated thank you :)
