I thinking I might have put something out on these before, but it might have been via PM and mostly on the trilo-bit pieces. I am looking to see if anyone has a possible ID on the shells. I believe that this material might be Devonian in age. I picked this material up at an ESCONI members Garage sale a couple of years ago. There are a number of pieces and it was supposed to have come from an old collection. Any help would be appreciated. Some other piece’s including trilo-bits.

Hello, Looking for ID please for these large fossilized shells found in Manatee county, Florida. The largest are approx 7 inches long and 4.5 inches wide (I did collect some medium sized ones as well.) @Shellseeker @MikeR Thank you, Marie

I found a small shell fossil on a piece and there seems to be other fossil imprints that have sadly wore away. I was wondering however, if I should try and break it open. Being such a minute find, it's not a huge deal if it is lost, but I am also new to this and don't know how likely it would be to find more fossils within. Note 01: The shell mold is very faint in the image and more pronounced in person. Seen on image No. 01. Note 02: There seems - to me - to be a fold or seam in the rock that would seem to make it easier to split with a chisel. Seen on image No. 01, on the bottom right. Note 03: There are crystalline elements on the surface, much like small quartz formations or granite particulate, possible suggesting a geode? .

I don’t know if this is just a weathered shell fragment or a fossil, but I found it in one of my old bags from a past trip to orange beach and I thought I’d have y’all take a look.

Both of these possibly came from the Galveston TX area, they were found in a box with other Texas items. Both are heavy. And one shell has other fossil like pieces attached to it. These were inherited from a deceased relative so I don’t have much info on them. Both have pinkish blue insides. Any help is appreciated!

I dug these up last week in East GA. This is a well known site to collect 'Savannah River Agate' but it's not agate, it is chert. Almost every piece I have has some white material adhering to the chert that to me resembles coquina. I'm curious as to what the object on the 006 picture is. I think the object in the two fossil pictures is a turritella snail but I'm not real sure.

Picked this up at a dry land site some time back and forgot about it. While going through my fossil boxes recently, I re-found it. It came out of the Tamiami Fm. near Sarasota with a lot of other Pliocene/Pleistocene material. There seemed to be some Miocene mixed in there as well, so I am not sure where to start with this one. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks!

Just took a trip to Aust Cliff, close to Bristol, UK, and found this fossiliferous piece. I wonder what this light brown one is. I can recognize the umbo.

Hi, very new here but hoping to learn. So if anyone how tips on resources to help me identify spices and get a grasp on the timescale, reading geological maps I'd be thankful. Found this at Varmlandsryggen (Karlstadtoppen), West Spitsbergen. Its from my understanding a fold-thrust belt. From paleozoic-mesozoic era (I know big chunk of time, but still figuring out the timescale and maps) In the area are also lots of corals. Living in Svalbard, so hoping to learn here and also share a growing gallery of fossils from here. Size is about 4 cm

A few Teeth A Pipis the soft tissues of Animal opalised ( geological miracle) A Gastropod with soft tissues opalised as well , after an event that Gastropod didn’t had time to retract in his shell and got mummified instantly in contact with high heat and salty water , after millions of years the cavity was replaced by silicate. It was studied from Paleontologie in Switzerland they told me it’s a Geological miracle when soft tissues are preserved.

Hey everyone, new here, but hoping I’ve come to the right place! My family just got back from tooth hunting on shark tooth island and found these too and wondered how we could confirm what they are and if they’re just ordinary or could be extraordinary!

What could of made this? Thanks! I mostly find mosasaur pieces but never found anything this cool before. Was in a creek so not sure where it came from. But SD Pierre shale formation is around the area. 2in long. I haven't cleaned it yet.

Is there any way to identify what animals these mini marine fossils from the hell creek formation belong to? 1.

I’m curious to know what particular species this shell fossil is from. As with most of my fossils, this is from Lake Huron, in the Grey Bruce County of Ontario, Canada.
-
The Photos attached are of the second of 5 fossils I have been unable to identify in the last 2 years. This fossil has been found on the shores of Lake Huron, in the Grey Bruce county area in Ontario, Canada. I’d like to know what species you think this shell fossil belongs to. I know little about fossils but find them fascinating. Thanks for your help in advance.

New to fossil hunt and get this piece at The Montour Preserve Fossil Pit is located at 160 Sportsmans Road, Danville, PA 17821. Anyone have idea on what kind of fossil shell mark is that? Any information will educate me a lot! ALso, should I remove the lighter grey part or should I keep those?(is it the fossil part itself?)
