    Please help me identify!

    I have had this fossil that I always thought it was an egg . I have thought it might be something more and have kept it for over 20 years. The outside is like a clay matter when holding it leaves a moisture spot of your handprint on outside. It has cracked so you can see what’s somewhat inside of fossil it was always like that. On the other side, you see a bone sticking out on the bottom. I brought it to a couple fossil shows around me, but it has no identification of what it could be. It’s something. They told me my best shot would be to get it scanned because I should not cut it.
  2. I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

    Bones - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

    Curious about these - and they may not be fossils (more modern), but the color of them intrigued me as they are not white. These were washed up on the beach after a storm and I think are associated as they were found in the same general area. They have similar features, and maybe are the same type of bone with different levels of wear? They were found on the beach near where the Goosfare Brook empties out in the the Atlantic Ocean. 43°29'42.0"N 70°23'04.8"W Thoughts?

    Need help ID

    Hello, thank you in advance for any help identifying. I found these on the cherokee lake bed in Northeast Tennessee Hawkins county they are extremely hard and after washing don't change in appearance. Are they fossils?
  5. I believe I have made quite well with collecting Moroccan mosasaurs, so I wish to set my eyes for new goals. And first US mosasaur material is already heading its way. I have been hoping to learn more about American mosasaurs in general and also basic tooth characteristic of more common species. Only one Im relatively familiar with is Tylosaurus proriger. With Platecarpus tympaniticus only by few articles. I managed to find information about most formations where material seem to come from, but not Ozan fm. What species were present besides Tylosaurus proriger? Thanks for replies.

    New member... old fossils

    Hello, New member who is discovering a love of fossil hunting. All of my collection comes from a large creek on our property in NE Ohio. Please check out the star fish, and possible bird track.....and comment if anyone can identify the last rib looking fossil I attached. Thanks!!
  8. Thank you for adding me. I hope this is the correct place to add this photo and request assistance. I was given these teeth and need help to identify them. Any help is appreciated.

    Fossil found in limestone matrix.

    Found this while walking the dogs In Central Missouri USA . 3 cm long 2.5cm wide 2.5 cm tall limestone matrix. I thought it was a clam shell when I found it. The smoth rounded side was sticking out, but when I hit it with a hammer the Clow/Tooth shaped fossils was revealed. Let me know what you think Thanks
  10. Hello everyone, this is my first post so I hope I'm doing this properly. Some months ago I was visiting family in Ohio and we went fossil hunting, which is a popular activity there. Here are the details: Location found: Lebanon, Ohio (in a small riverbed) Dimensions: Height: 3.8cm Width: 2.6cm I don't have a scale to weigh it, but it is heavy the way a stone of its size would be. (I know that's a terrible way to describe the weight but I can't think of what to compare it to) It also passed the "tongue test" which I read about during my research about fossil identification. At first I thought perhaps it was a mastodon tusk segment. I read online ice age era fossils have been found in the area I was at due to it being glaciated. Thank you all so much for reading and for helping. I am completely inexperienced and uneducated in paleontology, but I am very interested. Cheers!

    Hello

    Hello, I'm Jackson from Arkansas, and I'm an avid fossil hunter. I live on carboniferous exposed strata so that is mostly what I find. I will occasionally visit Eastern AR to Eocene strata. Right now I'm very interested in microfossils and the precambrian. I actually have a trip planned in a few weeks to go to NC to search the slate belt for precambrian fossils. I also am attempting to dissolve carbonate rock of Ordovician age to extract conodont elements. My main hobbies are wildlife conservation, fossils, shell collecting and general outdoor stuff!
  14. I found this today while out side on a river bed. The part i found it at is usually not seen & covered by water but the river is unusually dry so i found it on an exposed part. I’ve tried reverse image search & using a rock identifier but can’t find anything that looks similar besides other kinds of fossils. I’m really interested in learning what it is!!! i live in southern minnesota.
  15. Hi All! I'm currently saving up to pursue my PhD in Archaeology (focus on pre-colonial N. America, Pre-Bronze Age Aegean, and Human Evolution) and am an avid rock and fossil collector! Living in NYC, I mostly hunt with my partner in NJ, but am originally from the California coast and often make trips back to the golden coast. Very interested in both collectible and "observation only" in-situ finds. Long-time lurker of the forum, but finally decided to join in on the discussions! Thanks everyone!
  16. I found this tooth on a dredge island in georgia it’s probably the biggest piece of megalodon tooth ive ever found and was wondering if theres any experts that could say how big the tooth was whole. Ive done some speculating with a drawing but wanted other opinions.

    Ordovician ID help

    Hello. New member here. Would appreciate some help with an ID, please. Found in Williamson County, Tennessee, USA. Rock formation is Nashville Group (Ordovician). Exposed fossil length is about 1/4" or 6mm. Thank you!
  21. I’m trying to get better at identification so I labeled the pieces with what I think they are but some I can’t figure out. I would love some guidance if anyone has any input! Thanks Fernandina Beach Amelia Island Florida USA

    Bivalve fossil or something more recent?

    I was at Atwater Beach at Shorewood, WI for a couple of hours today because a cursory online search showed that it’s a place where people have supposedly found Silurian Reef fossils. I did not find anything of note except this rock that looks like a bunch of clams fell on wet concrete. I’m only second-guessing myself because the beach is littered with tiny mussel shells, as well, and I know it would not that that long under the right conditions for bivalve shells and sediment to become squished together into one mass. I have found some rocks that definitely looked like that. But, this one is much heavier and I only see what looks like indentations, not the shells themselves. Not to mention, the patterns on the ridges do not look like those of the native mussel shells that litter the beach. The second picture is the back of the thing.

    Florida porpoise teeth ID

    These are some dophin like teeth ive found and just wondering if anyone of them was something different like a bear or something completely different? All of these teeth except one were found in florida. Most of them in the peace river one of them in gainesville and the other in georgia. The second to last photo was the one from gainesville and the last photo is the one from georgia.
  24. Hello everyone, I'm quite new here but it was recommended I come to this site from another site. I've never fossil hunted before, but I know a fair amount about paleontology due to a personal interest in the topic. I would like to learn fossil hunting, but with a group of people who are knowledgeable about the matter. I'm wondering if anyone knows of groups that do fossil hunting in the New York or Philadelphia area?
