Some sort of tube worm maybe - Isle of Sheppey, United Kingdom

Was just lying on the beach at low tide. Not sure what it is. Thx.

I was doing an initial cleaning of this piece to categorize, label and store for future preparation. I do this by brushing the loose dirt off with a natural bristled paint brush and then a quick cleaning with my dust collector to pick up some of the finer particles. This time, while using the dust collector, a little surprise popped out. My first thought was tube worm, well preserved and free enough for the suction to pull it out. Thankfully it didn’t detach! I was wondering if this is a common occurrence. Has anyone else experienced this? And do you agree that it’s most likely a tube worm? thanks! -Sean apologies for the standard measuring tape. I’ll get my act together…

Members of the Hamulus genus are easily confused with Scaphopoda (tusk shells) and were originally identified as such. The shells are curved tubes ending in a point, with smooth interiors. Hamulus squamosus begins with less pronounced ornament and grows wider longitudinal ridges as it matures1. 1. Survey, Maryland Geological.

I’m not sure what this is. This little croissant shaped guy struck me as interesting as I was hunting through a pile of limestone in our new construction neighborhood in northern Bexar County, Texas. It’s in northern San Antonio. I thought it might be a shell of some sort. It’s about 4.5 to 5 inches wide and about 1.5 inches in depth. It has striations here and there and a shape that looks like a nautilus, but may just be an interesting concrete on or piece of limestone. Anyone got any ideas or answers? The ‘center’ of the ‘croissant’ has a grayish area that’s really different from the rest of it. Thanks for any ideas!!!

North Carolina Ammonites, Mosasaurs, Sharks, and More!
fossil_lover_2277 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I recently went on two fossil hunting trips to Cretaceous sediments of Eastern North Carolina, the second of which was earlier today. Today’s trip to the Bladen formation yielded baculites ammonites, some worn mosasaur teeth, the nicest goblin shark teeth I’ve personally collected, some fish mouth plates, turtle shell fragments, and some other goodies. My first trip a couple weeks ago was to Tar Heel formation sediments and I collected several small mosasaur teeth, a mosasaur vertebra, a piece of petrified lignite, lots of goblin and crow shark teeth, lots of turtle shell, a very worn Deinosuchus tooth, and some coprolites (I’ve posted a few of the images from this trip in the ID section of the forum already). North Carolina is an amazing U.S. state for fossils, it has loads of fossils from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic (although if you want Jurassic look elsewhere). If you haven’t already, you should come check it out! Pics from today’s trip: Pics from the first trip:

Found in a small void deep in red clay and limestone, no idea what it is. Tube worms? Coprolite? Psuedofossil? Any help is greatly appreciated

Came across this some time back out in the washes of Imperial Valley. Lots of small shells , oysters of various sizes out there's and an occasional coral piece, found by others. How old is this? Is it really a fossil? Seems like a strange kind of thing to just discard out there. I have found fossilized tube worm holes, even parts of calcified shells still inside. So, opinions? Thank you.

I've resisted posting this one because it's so common on Myrtle Beach, I figured I'd be able to research it myself. But hours later, I still am not sure what to call this. Thank you!

Found this while scouting a new portion of an area I hunt frequently. Looks to be just above the Muncie Shale layer in the Argentine or Raytown limestone, Jackson county Missouri. Lots of twisted and tangled tubeworms is what it looks like. About the largest diameter tube is 3/8". Thanks for looking! pic1pic2pic3pic4
