  1. Hello everyone! I have always been fascinated in paleontology and have recently started searching for my own fossils. I don't have much experience in fossils as my main interest is in minerals. I was wondering where I should go to look for small fossils like starfish or teeth, and how to find these fossils. I've been to Beaumaris (of course), found a mammal bone, 5 teeth, some urchins, fish grinding plates and some more things. I also know of Allestree in Portsea and have heard rumours about fossils at Clonbinane. Where abouts in Clonbinane are these fossils though? And how do you find them? (digging, chiseling etc) Any new sites or help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Manfi
  2. Hello, I was rummaging through a rock pile in stevens county, Minnesota today and found these. These are the first fossils I’ve ever found and admittedly were quite exciting to see. Could anyone help me identify what they are? I have a feeling the fourth and fifth photos could be a clam? Or is it possibly just how the rock broke? Thanks!
  3. Hi there, I found this rock at Saltburn Beach (on the North Yorkshire Coast, UK) and it appears to be made up of some tiny round fossils approximately 3mm in diameter. Some have clear ridges running from the centre out and all appear to have a hole in the middle. There is a patch where they are together and form a longer cylinder, so maybe these are shell parts of a larger organism? I would love to know if anyone has any more information! - Eloise
  4. My eagle-eyed mother found this in Saskatchewan Canada over 40 years ago...No idea if it was a shell, plant or a cocoon...if something new or very ancient, but all searches thus far have not helped me identify it.

    Tiny (1cm) fossil ID help

    Found this very small possible fossil on a beach near Charleston, SC. The island where it was found is a former dredge spoils site with contents from the bottom of Charleston Harbor. Would love some help to ID this curious little thing. Thank you!

    Similar or not?

    Both of these were found on the beach in South Carolina. They may have nothing in common but have similar characteristics to my eye. The first is approximately 2cm while the second is closer to 3cm. Both are symmetrical though the second is not complete. I look forward to hearing just how far off I am!
  7. Hello everybody, I'm sorry for making thread about ID mixed fossil types,but I didn't want to open multiple threads for such a small specimens as they aren't something ''special'',but small specimens that I would like to properly ID. They were bought from one small fossil shop that sells fossils,meteorites,amber,dinosaur teeth and those kind of things. They are fairly small shop,but they have nice collection of small affordable fossils for sale. I bought them years ago and I always wanted to get proper ID of them,but my camera wasn't good at the time and I always had more ''important'' things to do. Today I finally got time and I took photos,but unfortunately I forgot where did some of those fossils came from as too much time has passed. I remember some of them,but not all. All of those fossils were cheap. Fossils are placed near metric ruler for size reference and are measured in centimeters. First fossil is Spinosaurus Aegypticus (Cretaceous Period 90 MYO) found in Kem-Kem basin Taouz Morocco It is 4cm long. I would like to know is it possible that tooth from Spinosaurus is sold that cheap and is authentic as well since it's rare animal? I know they had lot of teeth during their life that were constantly replaced by new ones as the animal ate/broke them,but I still having hard time to believe that authentic dinosaur tooth is sold for so little. Second fossil is trilobite that is from Cambrian period if I remember correctly.I forgot location where it came from unfortunately. It's only one centimeter long and I'm not sure if it's authentic or not because bottom of it look somewhat weird (at least to me). I uploaded 3 pictures of it. Third fossil is Neuropteris seed fern Carboniferous period (320 MYO) from Crock Hey pit-Wigan Lancashire UK I uploaded 3 pictures of it and I would like to know do you think it's genuine? Next two fossils are supposed to belong to Tyrannosaurus Rex,but they are so small it's impossible to tell from what dinosaur they came from,if they even belonged to a dinosaur. It's stated that they are from Tyrannosaurus Rex Cretaceous period (65 MYO) Hell Creek formation Northwest South Dakota-USA As far as I can tell (and I don't even belong to newbie amateur class) they seems to have honeycomb like structure that could be where the blood vessels were once the animal was alive. If it's a dinosaur I presume it would belong to some Theropod because of that honeycomb like structure,but that just my humble inexperienced opinion. I uploaded 5 pictures of those two fragments and I would very much like to know did it belong to some Theropod or at least a dinosaur and do they look like they really came from Hell Creek formation judging by color and things like that? Note: 4th T-Rex fragment picture have one side completely yellow that is totally different from rest of the specimen.Do you perhaps know what that is? And lastly,last two bone fragments are stated as ''Triceratops'' bone fragments,but I'm aware that's impossible to tell just like ''T-Rex'' fragment from above because they are simply too small. However,I would like your opinion about them as well. Do they look like fragments that belonged to dinosaur at least? They came from either Montana or North Dakota and I think they are too from Hell Creek formation like ''T-Rex'' fragments,but I'm not 100% sure,more like 90%. They are of course 65 MYO,at least that's what seller stated. I uploaded 7 pictures of those 2 fragments. Once again,I want to apologize for multiple different specimens in one thread,but I think you'll agree that this is better than opening 5-6 threads for such a small specimens. Lastly,I want to thank you for taking time to read this and I hope you can tell me are all those fossils genuine and if those 4 fragments came from some dinosaur if you can get any info from small fragments like those of course. If you have any questions that could help you get better ID,feel free to ask them. Thanks!

    Help with fossil ID for kids

    Hi, I hope this is ok to post! Whilst out on a walk we came across the attached fossil. Whilst I appreciate it doesn't seem much, its quite distinct and any help to identify it - and help educate the small hands which has been carefully cleaning it - would be very much appreciated. I might have some explaining to do that it isn't a t-rex We are located in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. If anybody has good references for teaching kids (6 year old and 3 year old) about fossils it would be great to have them.

    Small (plant?) fossil

    Close to three years ago, during a short hike alongside of the Ziz River river in Morocco, I found this rock with an imprint. This is more or less the exact location: https://goo.gl/maps/fKg8FjqDMB3viySu9 It's a bit difficult to get the shape to come out on a photo so I made wet. I'd love to know what it is or could be, even if it's nothing special in the fossil world. Thank you! =) A few more photos are attached, and additional to that here's the same photos in higher res: https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152125.jpg (dry) https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152158.jpg (dry/backside) https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152242.jpg (wet) https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152256.jpg (wet) https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152300.jpg (wet)

    Fossil found in Morocco

    This is another fossil (if it even is one) I found in Morocco alongside the Ziz river: https://goo.gl/maps/fKg8FjqDMB3viySu9. It may be bit difficult to make sense of the photos as it's very different from every angle. It has some patterns in there that make me think it might just be a sedimentary rock but at the same time.. I've no idea about any of this! I picked it up because it looked very different than the other rocks around there. Just like I mentioned with my earlier post today: I'd love to know what it is or could be, even if it's nothing special in the fossil world. Thank you! =) Here's a few higher res photos: https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152333-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152354-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152405-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152456-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152502-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152509-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152518-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152628-large.jpg https://tijsvl.net/_tmp/fossils/post-20200824_152643-large.jpg
