Can someone help to identify these fossils and the possible date of age?
PatriciaL posted a topic in Fossil ID
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!

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 😁

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

Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Help with finds from Charmouth, Dorset, UK
citronkitten posted a topic in Fossil ID
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!

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.

These are very common at an exposure of what I believe to be the Monterey formation (Miocene) in Santa Barbara county, California. They look quite different from most pectinid fossils I've seen in southern CA. Any ideas on ID, or references I should take a look at for this area? Thanks!

I found what seems to be a fossil of Brain Coral attached to a shell.
jmz007 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I inherited a rock and mineral collection from my father, who bought them from a collector. We are in the process of identifying for fun. We found one that we are unsure if it is a fossil or not, and a Google image search for it brought us here. I am fairly certain that this was imported, but Oklahoma has been submerged several times (Brain Coral doesn't fit into those time frames though). Thanks.

Fingers crossed, I think there's a real fossil in this mess! I accidentally chipped the part I think is a fossil, bone or shell maybe, with my tile nippers trying to chip away the bigger rocks in the conglomerate-- the nippers are for sherd crafts ONLY from now on! However, the pattern of lines in the part in question is as it was when I found it in the lower canal along the Delaware river near Pt. Pleasant, PA. My husband, King of Pareidolia, thinks it's a turtle. I'm not going to see things I can't hypothesize on, I'm here instead.

I found this on a beach in Cozumel, Mexico. I thought it was just a coincidence that I had a shell that looks like a tooth but my sister tells me its a tooth. Can someone help me figure out what this is? It looks like a light pink color.
