Hello, I was outside this morning in my backyard here in Tennessee digging up a stump. I found this odd looking stone/fossil about 3ft deep. It stands up on a desk perfectly flat with no wiggle. Its about 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches tall and wide and a little over a pound in weight. It has some interesting markings. Not sure what it is. Thanks for you help!

I'm really hoping this isn't just another stone... and I'd love to say where exactly I found it but I can't for the life of me, remember! I just know it was in the peak district. The shape really stood out for me and I'm finding it difficult to believe it's been geologically formed. Let me down gently... cheers guys and girls!

Hey there I wanted to introduce myself because I'm completely new to not only the website but also the field or any field entirely. Many many props to you paleontologists and archaeologists and scientists because I would consider myself have a fairly intelligent individual in general but trying to self teach about fossils when you don't know the first thing is not the easiest LOL I've always been pretty outdoorsy and love the idea of fossil hunting and always have but it wasn't until recently that I moved to one of the most perfect places for it... Northern Colorado. To be honest it took a few years before I even had a clue that rock hunting is even a thing though. In the past two or three years I've gotten more and more fascinated with Mother Nature and her ability to create things far more beautiful than I could even imagine. For the most part I've collected cool rocks I've seen here and there but because I've got an 8-year-old that loves to follow suit, it can be tricky to remember 100% where these rocks have come from. I can tell you for sure most of them if not all of them I would bet money came from the same place which just happens to be what I would imagine is as perfect as any for something like fossils really be at. So I've gone back and forth saying that it's totally possible to find a kick butt fossil but then I tell myself there's really just no way I'd be lucky enough and all I've got is a really pretty Rock I can put my garden. In the back of my mind I've wondered though for a long time now and so I thought that I'd come on here and ask for some advice from some of you guys if you wouldn't mind. I'm making three posts of my number three favorites I think is what I'm going to do and then cross my fingers. I'll expect there just rocks for my garden and hope for the best. If you could please let me know if you have any idea for sure if this might be any kind of a fossil or even maybe a semi-precious Stone or interesting mineral. Anything would help at all and thank you for your time

Hi everyone this is matt again can anyone tell me what kind of rock this is that I found in the creek today ???

Hi there. My son found this rock and he search it on a Rock Identifier app and said it may be a fossil. It kind of looks like it on the exterior. The rock has broken into peace’s and now he only conserves 3 of them. What looks odd to me is the interior , sounds like a rock though. Hope for some help.

Hi, Any thoughts on these three? Found in Big Brook, Monmouth county NJ. They were not together. Don't appear they are from a fire. The area has tons of iron concretions, but these seemed to stick out differently. Any thoughts if they may be coprolite?
