What would these small bumps be on this rock? They are round and look like a lady bug sort of but not exactly, when I look at them under a magnifying glass. I think the stone it’s in is sandstone because it glitters in the sun.

Is this a real Megaldon Tooth?
MarieJoy posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I in no way know a lot about fossils so I’m not sure if this is authentic or not. I purchased it from a local crystal shop. Super cheap and they had a lot of other Megalodon teeth to choose from. Anyway would appreciate some input. Thanks

I got this tiny fossil online for a very cheap price, under £5 and even included postage. It's been sat in the sellers dads Cupboard for over 20 years. Can anybody ID and tell me where it's from? Seller had no idea. Thank you!

Hey everyone, so I missed out on the little fishes that everyone helped ID for me not long ago (boo hoo!), but I came across these two little ones today and was wondering if they’re also dastilbe? The slab is listed at being 10x7 cm, with the larger fish being 5 cm and the smaller one 2 cm. I love the look of the smaller fish, could it possibly be a fry? Thanks in advance for the tremendous help I know I’ll receive from the wonderful people here!

Hello there! I no little information about fossils but I was really hoping someone could help me out with identifying this fossil? Frankly I’m not quite sure it is a fossil. I’m really curious though and I gladly thank anyone for their time. This small ‘bone’ was found on the shores of North Carolina. It’s a dark brownish color and feels lighter than it looks. (Almost like wood) Thank you guys!

Back again with only two items we couldn't label or didn't recognize, but were tucked away in boxes, an indication whatever it was, it was important. #1: ??? Size indication: Half an inch - around 1,5 cm. Really small. #2:??? Size indication: Each circle is only a few millimeters wide. Thanks in advance!

My parents found this small fossil in 1970s when t hey were in France. It looks like a dinosaur skull but i'm not sure what it is.

Found in the fill of railroad bed. The nearest cut, a good match to the rock type and carbonate nodules found there, is mapped as the forks formation. This is Ludlow aged turbidite. I have reason to believe that this exact area was not included in the study though. The phyla list includes no corals, but I find them abundantly.

My five year old son and I have been digging in the our backyard looking for agates (found a few) and ran across what I suspect are fossils but have no clue what they are. They were both found in glacial till at about a depth of about 4-5 feet from the surface. The mystery item on the left side of the image is nothing like the usual material I see while digging through gravel/sand mix. The item on the right looks like a small fossilized seed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I Don't know

I don't know what this is, maybe a scyphozoan? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5lqA7GaQIJGODAxRFAtcmRuY1k https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5lqA7GaQIJGTDFEZ0pIQ2xvcW8

Probably nothing, but I'm still not so sure.

On a recent trip up to Little Falls, I somehow managed to spot this little guy while going through some scraps of shale. It isn't excellently preserved or anything and it's only an impression of a cephalon but what surprised me was the size of it. It's less than 4 millimeters wide and that's stretching it. It's certainly the smallest Triarthrus I've seen. Sorry for the poor quality, this is as good as I can get through a microscope.

Hello, I'm new yet always picking things up everywhere I go. This was found in a public children's sandbox (Near Flint, MI). Also found in the sandbox were some rocks with crystal dendrite formations, and another mystery tooth I'll post later. I humbly hope this is worth your time because I've searched the internet high and low. Thank you so much. Midge

Working in Singapore the last six months, I was eager to look for teeth in my favorite places. Unfortunately, the best holes had silted in with sand and black decaying leaves and it took a lot of digging and screening. Didn't find anything spectacular, just lots of small teeth. One might be a sand shark symphyseal, small with a large almost rectangular root. Also a squirrel/rat tooth but not black and shiny like the shark teeth (put pictures under ID help). A start anyway.

I stumbled across this today on a hike in SE Colorado. At first I wrote this off as just a neat natural shape in the rock but after closer inspection it has my curiosity peaked. the darker yellow area around it is also raised about 1/4 in. What do you all think?
-
Found this yesterday near Delaware Water Gap. At first I thought maybe a moth. However the shape and texture appears to be more feather like. Could this be from a small bird?

Hi Folks, I went through one of my boxes of small oddballs today and pulled out some that I'd like to ID. I snapped some photos of them and tried to bring out the small details. They are numbered one through thirty one. I have a general idea of what some of them are, but I'd like to get a more specific species ID on them if possible. These were all found in the Peace River, Florida, Bone Valley, Hawthorn group. #'s 11 through 16 are small vertebrae or parts of vertebrae #9 is some kind of spine cookie #1 has a very fine pattern on it. I have a couple of these. #3 and #4 are partial teeth. #8 is weird - the reverse side (not shown) looks like a fossil hash with lots of small bits cemented to it. The top-side shown has a black and textured area. The side edge has a pattern of holes in it. The black area might be the embedded fossil. #5 has a hole in the middle and might be some kind of scute. #6 and #7 appear to be scales of some sort. #'s 10, 18, 19, 20 are small bones. #21 - I used to know what this one is, but I forgot. It looks like an angel with spread wings. #17 is just weird. I have found several of these that are similar, but this one is the most detailed. #27 appears to be a shark tooth that is completed encrusted in something. #'s 23 through 26 appear to be claws and have a keratin-like feel to them. #23 is concave and appears to be the outer sheath of something (tooth, claw?) #22 - bone fragment? #29 and #30 appear to be some kind of teeth, or ? #31 looks like a little brain - it might just be a weird rock. Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys! Today and yesterday I went fossil hunting and I found all this teeth. They are very small, some of them are maybe microfossils?

Found in a riverbed in Ladonia Tx.

I live in east central alberta. We have rocks in the yard in town and found it in the rocks. so can't say for sure where it came from. It definately looks like a small skull. In person I can 99% sure say yes its a skull. Hard to tell from the picture. What is it? I took lots of picks from different angles. coolest find ever! Thanks for any info you can provide

Hi everyone, hope you can help with this ID problem. I bought a pile of fossils from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco. It included a lot of random stuff, but one particular fossil caught my eye. There was a little bone locked in a "ball" of rock. I couldn't really make out what it was, so I removed the rock and out came this (look at pictures). To me it looks like a vertebra... Could it be from a dinosaur?
