  1. Hello to all. I would appreciate some help identifying if this is a fossil and what it is. I found it in a canyon in San Diego and plan on taking it to our local natural history museum if it turns out that it is actually fossilized plant life like I believe it is. Thanks to the creators of this wonderful website and thanks to those of you who took the time to look at my post. I would also especially like to thank anyone who is able to help identify what this rock is all about.

    Stump pass beach fossils

    Can anyone help us identify these?

    Squalicorax kaupi?

    Shown below is a tooth, identified by the seller as that of a Squalicorax pristodontus, from the Demopolis Chalk. However, given the shape of the tooth, I wondered whether it could have instead come from a Squalicorax kaupi. I've tried altering the saturation and contrast on the image to make the tooth clearer, but I fear it hasn't done much. Come to think of it I should probably also have included a scale and an image of the other side of the tooth. The tooth is 1.2 centimetres wide and 1.3 centimetres tall. Should an image of the other side of the tooth prove necessary, I'll upload one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Othniel

    Fossil ID Please

    Hello wanting to get help with this, I’m gonna try and get good pics. It’s about two and half inches and found in quartzite Nevada. Thank you

    Hoof print?

    I was doing some landscape work today and found these hoof like impressions in a few pieces of flagstone. I believe it to be sandstone. And I know for sure it’s from Oklahoma, U.S.A. Any thoughts?

    ID PLEASE

    Trying to figure out what this is?
  9. Hey all, I'm a newbie and would like to ask if someone here on this forum will please assist me in I.D.ing my fossil finds 😊 I've done some research but I'm still learning. I'll post a few different fossils here but with list them by # (please refer to the # when responding). Specifics on fossil types would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated. Firstly, I apologize that I didn't have a ruler when I snapped the pics. I'll do my best to include measurements listed with the pics below. All Fossils were found in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, Wamsutta Formation, Exposure w/ red shale. Thanks in advance! 😉 #1 - Thick flat red shale rock, measures about 6 inches high x 5 inches wide with what appears to be FAINT impressions of ferns throughout as well what looks like a round shaped leaf in the bottom right corner. Very hard to photograph since they're hard to see! What am I looking at here? #2 - Interesting find between split shale layer. Rock Measures about 3 inches long. 1 side is negative impression, other is positive. It's very interesting, but what is it?! #3 - This piece of red shale measures about 3 inches long and has bumps all over it. Bark? Curious what someone thinks made this impression. #4 - Small red shale fossil measures 1 inch wide. Not sure if it's a type of grass fossil. #5 - Another tiny piece of red shale. Measures 1 inch long. Another plant?

    Is this a fossil ?

    I don’t know much about fossils and I would like to know if these are. I’m not sure if I’m doing this right either, I apologize in advanced.

    Hello

    Hello I’m joe from southern Illinois. Been lurking in the shadows for awhile decided to join. Been doing fossils for about 6-7 years now. I have a few things I need help with identifying and some things to show off and maybe help some people out and learn a ton. Want to know anything else feel free to ask.
  12. Hello! My name is Elaine Scott. I am a new member to the forum. Exploring the mountains in the high desert and rock/fossil hunting is a hobby of mine. I have a small collection of interesting items. Some of which I will ask for help identifying, I look forward to feedback! I see there's soo much content to explore on this site I'm pretty sure I'll spend the next several hours (and many more in days to come) scrolling through it all. I hope everyone has a great day!
  13. Hello All, I'm minutes old here. Have always loved Trilobites. But soon will have the space and time to do more of what I love. Been talking to a few guys that collect and Prep and they suggested to get stuck in to the community. And thus - here I am. Interested in any good books on Trilobites. Self collecting areas like U-Dig and Penn Dixie. And a way to help support this hobby, profession. Looking to learn prep and hunting. Would like to volunteer somewhere. We are leaning to Puget Sound area of Wa to set our roots again. Anywho - glad to have found a group. Hope to help with the rolling auction. Looked fun last year with all the ribbing. Thanks, Phil

    Hi from Texas

    Hello, my name is Marco and I am new to this page. I was interested in entering because 2 years ago my family and I bought a piece of land and we are building our house, and when digging for construction we found a lot of stone almost 3 feet deep, and in those stones we found many ammonites, some as big as a foot. and a half and other small ones, I will upload photos very soon, I thought they were not so important and for more than a year I used them as a path to step on. Here’s one of them but i will post more clear pictures later.
  15. Hello! My name is Doug and I'm from South Central Pennsylvania. I'm just about to turn 29 and am really finding out what is important to me in life. I am an aspiring hobby paleontologist! I spend way too many hours researching and digesting fossil related content then I'd care to admit, but I'm sure that's why were all here! I'm often joined by my girlfriend Lauren who shares the same love for treasure and exploration. We just got back from our first ever day trip to Big Brook Preserve in New Jersey for some Cretaceous hunting goodness. See the attachments for the good stuff! The trip maker for me was a shark tooth still preserved in the matrix and an unidentified bone (going to make an ID post! Or if anyone knows please let me know in here or private message (: ). Found my first shark vert as well! My professional career is a Senior GIS Analyst (Geographic Information Systems). Basically, I make computer maps and analyze data. Recently i realized that i could combine my love for both and create some very cool resources to track my history and findings. I use this knowledge and software to log all of my findings, hunting sites, and research. Besides Fossil hunting and GIS, i am also a professional cosplayer. I have a wide variety of interests it seems! I am ecstatic to be a part of such a cool and knowledgeable community. I can't wait to hear from ya'll and learn as much as i can! - Doug filtered-60BE94DC-70F9-4A90-8A40-27EF3E96E049.MP4

    What teeth are these?

    I went down to westmoreland state park today, and I found these 4 these, the smallest one looks like a small bull shark tooth and the other 2 look like some hammerhead. The biggest one is something I’ve never seen before. It is still serrated and is sharp, I found it on fossil beach and the other 3 on the main beach. Please help as I don’t think I am right. Thank you!

    NE PA Fern Fossils

    Hi Everybody! I'm trying to hunt down some sites for fern fossils in Northeast Pennsylvania. I have zoned in on Lackawanna county & small areas around Carbondale. I have found a shale pit area that I am unsure if it is public or private property. I'm having a very difficult time discerning whether or not the land is public or private. Any tips or suggestions on where to look? Has anyone had success with public hunting in the area?

    Peace River, Arcadia, Florida queries

    Greetings! First post, so please do let me know if I'm not following any formatting conventions etc. correctly. My family recently went on a fossil hunt with Fossil Recovery Exploration on the Peace River in Arcadia, Florida. We had a great time with our guide, Sean; he was super patient, hard-working, friendly and knowledgeable. We got upgraded to an air-boat ride due to weather conditions and because of some other factors ended up being out on the water for almost 5 hours! My four year-old daughter was a trooper, but by the end when it was time for identification she was d.o.n.e. Sean went through with us quickly and got rid of the rocks we had mixed in the bucket, but didn't have time to closely identify every single object, particularly the more obscure pieces. So, I'm posting here in the hope that I can get some help in identifying my "TBD pile"! I have an iPhone 10, so did my best with the photos. My husband has a macro lens on his good camera, so can try that if some photos are too unclear. I will give my thoughts based on what else we found and identified, some guide sheets I've looked at, and what I've come across trawling through posts on the forum. 1: base of ice age deer antler (due to the three rounded protrusions in a line) 2.1-2.8: Shells? I found some whole bivalves that were definitely shells (confirmed by guide), but these look a bit different, especially given that the underside/inside isn't concave as I would expect a shell to be. Could they be bony fish parts? 3.1: toe bone (due to the 'pinched' part at the top)? 3.2-3.3: no idea 3.4: ear bone (due to the swirls visible in picture 3B)? 4.1-4.2: newer bone? these pieces are more of an amber-ish colour and 4.1 is very brittle. 4.3: large ray mouth plate (due to pronounced ridges)? But in photo 4D there is clearly spongy bone...so I don't know what impact that has on whether or not it's a ray mouth plate. 4.4: bony fish vertebra (due to circular shape visible in picture 4C)? 5: bony fish skin (due to many little bumps; I saw a much large piece with similar bumps that had been identified, but not sure if it's possible to tell from as small a piece as I have) 6.1: vertebra (due to inverted heart shaped noted in photo 6E) 6.2-6.3: broken teeth with root (they don't have the same enamel layers that I see on my confirmed horse/camelid/mastodon-mammoth teeth, though) 7.1-7.2: rocks that our guide missed? 7.2 has a a very smooth curve, though; maybe something man-made? 7.3: snail/worm trace? Thank you for reading my post!

    The rock

    Looking at the rock under a microscope has been kind of interesting, though I can’t focus on much. Maybe I need different equipment as my microscope is made for flat slides and not rocks a half an inch higher than I can magnify with it. So I’m going to modify to make it work for what I want. I can see what looks like a crystallized fiber or hair. Still new at this but I am captivated. Could anyone that has seen this before, shed some light/

    Quarry stone fossil

    Saw this fishing yesterday. It’s inset in a large boulder laid down as erosion control at the lower end of a dam spillway. I’m very tempted to call it a turtle shell but I have no idea what it is. It’s about 8-9” across and 3-4” deep.

    Fossil found in Wisconsin River

    Hello! We found this in a river bed in south Central Wisconsin. What do you think it might be? Some of us think it is a mushroom and something maybe a seashell. Thank you!

    Fish from Santa Barbara

    Hi everyone, this is a fish I found a few years ago in Santa Barbara. If anyone could help with ID, or provide any resources on fossils in the area it would be greatly appreciated. The fossil is in very soft shale, measures just over 3 inches head to tail, had lots of bivalve and gastropod fossils nearby. I can provide additional pics/info if necessary. Thanks!
