Found this at seashore in Vir, Croatia (Northern Dalmatia), the stone is about 10cm on the longest side. Thought it'd be some fossils (because I got no clue about fossils) but now it looks more like a regular stone embedded with some softer pebbles that crumbled away with time (probably because of sea currents). Could anybody confirm that?

Dug this small fossil out of a sandstone boulder that was littered with bivalves and gastropod. A lot of the fossils found in the sandstone date back to the Pliocene so I can only assume it is from that period also. Thanks

So, yeah. It seems to just be a broken part of a bone

I recently purchased an unprepped Calymene breviceps trilobite from @holdinghistory from the Blue Springs quarry in Indiana & started trying my hand at prepping (by hand). I'm using dental picks, needles, pin vices, small nylon brushes & hydrogen peroxide (actually softens the top layers of the matrix a bit). Anyhoo, I saw something in the pics that got me curious & once I had worked the trilo for a bit, I decided to see if I could prep the whatever it was some & find out what it is. Included is one of the original pics from his post & a micro shot of the thing I'm asking about. It measures a whopping 11 mm in length. It isn't the cleanest, but it looks ok. It seems to have been hollow at one point, but I don't know. Any idea's? The red circled area is what I saw in the original pic. Oh yeah, there's a lot of pyrite running through the matrix. Nasty little veins of it.

Got this on a hunt today. Mid. Miocene, Round Mountain Silt Member, Temblor Formation. California. It is 5cm long, 3.5cm wide, 2cm thick. I am presuming whale, but don't really know. It seems strange to me in that the channels that would carry nerves or blood vessels are going perpendicular to the way it would set in the spinal column. One of the channel openings looks to be partially fused off which may have pinched nerves or blocked off blood supply. Any thoughts as to where on the critter it belonged and if indeed it is whale or not?

I got a little curious with one of the pieces I won in the end of year auction. Got a bunch of nice stuff from @Pagurus & one was wrapped in foil (thought I got sent leftover turkey surprise or something). Nice sized chunk of rock from Deep Springs Road that had splits here & there. Anyhoo, back to the curious part. I tried (carefully) to split it along some of the areas & one small piece had what I originally thought at 1st glance was the impression of a gastropod until I looked again. Then I looked at the area it came off of & found the head (at least) of a small trilobite. I had to glue the right eye back on with a bit of rubber cement as I don't currently have any super glue. It literally fell off when I blew some dust off. I took a few pics, 2 of the impression & 3 more of the trilo-head, one showing the rock behind it more. Has some really nice definition on the eyes. 1st 2 pics are the impression. Can I get an I.D please?
