Hello, I was hopeful I could be educated on the age and identification on these pieces - they are really neat but I’m feeling very uneducated. If anyone can identify the age and species - I would be most grateful!

Hi, Newbie here with her first find (hopefully)... While I was walking along the beach on holiday I found this next to my foot... Everyone I showed it to thinks it's a fossil but none of my mates are experts I have tried to get a good photo but it just doesn't want to be photoed well... PXL_20230807_084334288.mp4

I have no idea in any way time frame wise with this fossil. Then on top of that I have no idea exactly what it is. It's a odd fossil but time frames are all over the place in a spot I'm working on. Ideas on what it could be could be a little helpful. The first pic is the front then top, then back, and then bottom. A penny was put down beside object for scale wise of size. Thanks.

Hello everyone, While intrigued by them, I'm afraid I have no real knowledge about fossils, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I found this fossil(?) at the Cap-Blanc-Nez cliffs in the north of France. Anyone here have any idea what I'm dealing with? Thank you for any insights you can help me with! Cheers! Michalis

Hey all! I’ve got a really strange piece I’d love to get identified. It’s owned by my school, and I’m trying to help identify things that don’t have ids so they can be cataloged. Any help is appreciated! It’s out of Kleburg county which has a lot of Pleistocene Beaumont formation. Mammals are pretty far out of what I know. I didn’t have much time to take these photos, and didn’t see a chewing surface. (Granted I only had a couple seconds to take a photo, I had to run to my next class) Thank you!

I recently found a fossil that my father got in the 1970’s in Missouri, but not sure if he got it from someone or found it there. It is about 12x8 inches and maybe 6-10 pounds. I know nothing about fossils but got curious and starting doing some research. Looks kind of like a trillobite genus? Appreciate any insight here.

Your Guess is Better Than Mine: Fossil Calamite? Scaled bark? Animal? ( Missouri )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian Formation: ???? Hello! it is I once again I was curious on what this might be as it looks different from what I usually see in this type shale I have found Pyrite Calamites in shale but they usually don't have this texture so I was unsure of what exactly it may be. Zoomed in picture of the texture: Other side of this shale: Not Sure if these will help with the ID but here is the picture with the end pieces visible also for those interested here is the pyritized calamite I found near this: -

Found in Scotland . I have no idea about fossils and so I guess I’ve just picked up a rock but thought the markings are unusual and the hole at the end. If not a fossil , would love to know how it has formed thanks

Hello, Folks! I openly admit I am not educated on fossils or geodes, but I do love rocks and have collected ones that spark my eye for years; however, on a recent walk I found a peculiar one and am interested to learn what (if anything) it might be. Can anyone help? Appreciate it! BLT

Hey guys, I got a couple of fossils I am struggling to ID. All fossils shown were found in Fallen Timber creek, Ab, Canada. They were found along a rock bed along the creek itself. The first set of pics is a rather common fossil I find, with it being a imprint of some kind on a black rock. Was wondering if somebody could ID the actually imprint itself as I am having trouble doing so (think it is some kind of coral or other "aquatic vegetation"). The next set is a bone shaped object, looks to be the end of a joint. But I am unsure if it is just fracturing in the sandstone creating the pattern or if it is an actual fossil (as the inside is sandstone). Last I have a very odd shaped rock with some bumps and odd patterns in it. Unsure with this one as well if it is a fossil or just a rock. (ignore the green tint in the first photo) (also in the first photo set, the specimen wraps around the rock) Thanks to everyone for the help

Need help identifying potential tail fin. Found on beach in Haida Gwaii.
HaidaGwaiiBeachFinds posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi All! This peculiar find reminds me of a type of marine mammal fin upon first sight. Haven’t come across anything remotely like it before. -20cm long, 15cm wide -found on a beach in Haida Gwaii (close to Alaska) Thank you! -
Good morning everyone. As usual I got off of work and went on a nice brisk walk out to see the water levels. I ended up stopping by a honey hole of mine for about 10 minutes, and found a couple of goodies. I know the species of coral at hand, but my question on this would be are the small circle patterns on the coral be considered oolitic inclusions? Beyond that, I've found a few things of what I am guessing to be a sponge fossil. I'm completely uncertain on this. I've collected a few in the past year and always manage to bring them home, but have yet to ask around or do any research on them myself. Any opinions are welcomed and appreciated, thanks!

First, I want to say I don't look into fossils/teeth all that much so this may sound kind of dumb, idk. I found this while looking for shells during my first trip to the ocean last month. It looks like a hollowed out tooth to me but it doesn't look like any shark tooth I can find on Google so I don't think it's that kind. The thought had crossed my mind and was also suggested by someone else that it might possibly be petrified wood, but I'm really not very sure on that either. I just wanted to see if anyone might be able to tell me what it actually is? I hope these images are clear enough. Sorry, my camera isn't the best.
