It was found in a ravine in sedimentary rocks from the Upper Jurassic, in Spain. The rock surrounding the fossil is conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and clay. The fossil is approximately 2 centimeters long and has an irregular cylindrical shape. It is brown with some darker parts. One of the edges in its transversal section has shiny white spots as if it were crystal. The outer layer has a texture like veining along the cylinder. It may be a fossil of a marine creature that lived during that time, such as a mollusk shell, a shark tooth, or a fish backbone? Belemnites: These are fossils of prehistoric squid shells that have an irregular cylindrical shape and veined texture. They may also have mineral inclusions that give them white or iridescent shine. Gryphaea: These are fossils of oyster shells from the genus Gryphaea, which also have an irregular cylindrical shape and may have a veined texture. They are often found in sedimentary rocks from the Upper Jurassic. Shark teeth: Shark teeth are common in sedimentary rocks from the Upper Jurassic and may have an irregular cylindrical shape. However, they are unlikely to have mineral inclusions that give them white shine. Fish spine: The spinal columns of some fish have an irregular cylindrical shape and may have a veined texture. They may also have mineral inclusions that give them white shine. But this is less common than the other fossils mentioned. Thanks!

Found these in a limestone formation near Bocairent, Spain. From some quick research it seems to me like these might be from the upper devonian, and some look like nautiloids? One of them looks like a coral. Perhaps crinoid also? Would love some help on IDing these if anyone has any ideas!

Hi group! What is your opinion? I bring you this rarity, which seems to be divided into segments, something I had never seen around here until now in my Carboniferous area. It reminds me slightly of an arthropod, maybe it could even resemble an arachnid. Or maybe they are just plant remains! Note that there are some sort of indentations in some of the fossil segments and there is an area (vaguely reminiscent of an abdomen) that is oval. It comes from the Upper Carboniferous Estephanian B (Saberien) of León, Spain. Alethopteris zeilleri megafloral zone. Thanks you!!!

Here you have some beautiful fossils that I have been finding lately ^^, all of them come from the same coal mine in the NW of Spain, Stephanian B, Upper Carboniferous. I hope you like them! 1. Parasphenophillum crenulatum 2. Neuropteris ovata var. Hoffman 3. Aphlebia crispa 4. Diplacites emarginatum 5. Oligocarpia gutbieri 6. Calamite suckowi

Hello everyone, I saw these marine looking fossils in what I think are sandstone blocks used to construct the Alcazar in Cordoba, Spain. I saw a lot of bivalve looking fossils in these blocks and one really interesting one, which looks like a sea urchin to me. I am a total newbie, so would really appreciate any help in identifying the age and ID of these fossils.

Hello everyone, I recently received a lot of 3 brachiopods from Spain. Here they are with their original labels that they were listed with and that I received them with: The issue is that when I began to do a bit more research on these species, specifically Hexarhytis the paper that comes up shows and describes a completely different brachiopod. Looking up the other Athyrid the results I got were much closer but still not exactly like the brachiopod I have, but since I got more results for this search I could now do a bit of looking into the closely related taxa which I was sure would help me find a match. Currently, after that bit of reading I think that the larger brachiopod may be Plicathyris collensis while the smaller one looks more like Anathryis ferronensis to me. Does anyone know if these IDs would be accurate? Are there any papers I could read to better familiarize myself with these species? I wasn't able to find much online but this is the best I could come up with so far. Additionally, does anyone know how I could identify the species of orthid that is on the left? Researching the other two made me suspicious about the ID for this brachiopod too, it seems that the formation is accurate for this species but there are other orthids present there and I am not sure how to distinguish between them. I will attach more pictures of all of them below. The one I believe is actually Plicarthys: What I believe is Anathyris: Orthid labelled as Rhipidomella cervantesi: Thank you!

Sorry but I am not geologist or have any background on fossils. I am an iNaturalist user, and a friend sent me some photos taken in a NW Spain beach asking me if it was a fossil. So I searched iNaturalist and found a topic which mentioned this was a good place to ask for fossil identifications. So here are the photos he sent me. The place is now covered by sand this year so I guess he cannot take close ups right now (just in case you ask). The 1 euro reference coin diameter is 23.25 mm (according to wikipedia). There is a "snake shaped" mark in the rock, next to the coin in 1st image. But to its left I also see an odd "olympics flag" shape with 5 circles, in the 2nd image. There are also some photos of the context place where the rock (marked with a piece of wood) is found. Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Hello, I have recently found some gastropods in a village of Teruel, East of Spain. They are from Albian Cretaceous. Visiting the local museum has not solved my doubts about their identification, they had some gastropods as mine, but, to my unexperienced eyes, there were identical specimens under different labels: Paraglauconia picteti, Cardium Voltzi, Glauconia lujani, Orthostoma verneuilli, Turritella vidalina and Cassiope luxani. I am sure it is not Cardium Voltzi, as it is a bivalve, I have doubts about Glauconia lujani and Cassiope luxani being synonims, and I haven´t been able to find anything about Turritella vidalina or Orthostoma verneuili. I have separated them in 4 groups according to their ornamentation, I hope someone can identify them: Ruler is in centimetres and inches. 1st group, two rows of lumps per whorl: From left to right, 1A, 5A, 2C. 2nd group, two spiral ribs per whorl: 8B. 3rd group, a spiral rib and a row of lumps per whorl: From left to right, 4D, 3B, 4C. 4th group, smooth surface: From left to right, 5D, 6D, 8D. Thanks in advance for your help!
