Hey! My name is Johan and I come from Sweden. a few days ago when my daughter went home from school she found this stone. it was located in a forest area just outside the city of Västerås in Sweden. I have googled and looked for what it could be but can not find anything that looks the same. Has anyone here seen anything similar? I think maybe it's a petrified egg of some kind?

Hi! I just found this fossil (it’s a fossil right?) in Northwest Arkansas, but haven’t been able to ID it. Anyone know what it is? It’s about two and half inches wide. Thanks!

HELP REQUEST connoisseurs. What is it? Is it a rock, a fossilized egg, a fossilized fruit?
CarlArthurKing posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone. I found this piece in one of my journeys to the Cali mountains (Farallones hillsides), in my country Colombia, South America. Please let me know what do you think it is. I thought it was a fossilized fruit, but it seems to have like a shell or so. I also want to know, -no matter what it is-, how can I preserve it the better possible way, so I can keep it safe for years to come. A big hug for you all. C.A.King Zapata -
My dad found this on our property this morning, just wondering what the heck it is

Received this from a family member who had it laying around in their basement randomly. Can't seem to ID exactly what it is. He does not remember where it came from. Looking for any ideas or suggestions. Hoping to let him know. Appreciate any help! Hello!

A few tips for getting better ID's. First, make the object you are trying to get an ID for be the central object of the photo. Not your hand. Put the object on a neutral colored background and photograph it as close up as possible. Then crop your pictures. Using your hand for scale is no good, we don't know how big your hand is. Make sure the photo is well lit and focused. Second, use a scale rule (preferably metric; millimeters and centimeters) we have members from all over the world. The U.S. is about the only country that does not use the metric system Coins for scal

I found this on the shore of the Missouri River in Western ND. Any ideas?

Hello - I'm a new member of the Fossil Forum. I'm excited to learn more here. I would like to find out if the more experienced folks think this is petrified wood? I found this rock in our gravel driveway in McLeod County. It looks like water-worn wood to me, and seems to have a clear grain to it. It is about 1 1/2 inches long. I have found several similar rocks while running within 3 miles of my home along gravel roads (usually I pick them up mistakenly thinking they're agates). The Science Museum of MN positively identified one of them (not pictured here) as petrif

At our camp near a gully in wellsboro, PA, I spend my time fossil hunting. I find thousands of common fossils in a variety of rock. This time I found this cluster that doesn't look fully fossilized. Any ideas what would cause this appearance?

I found this while morel hunting in the woods behind my house a year ago. I decided to cut it open today with my tile saw and it got me thinking I never really identified it. I had posted it on instagram but got no help. I hope you may have some insight. I suspect it is maybe a lepidodendron root fossil but haven't seen any just like this.

Hello, first time poster - long time admirer. I moved to a new place and have been walking over this every day while getting exercise. What is it? KC Group, Middle Zarah Subgroup, Wyandotte Formation, Quindaro; aprox 4cm across at widest. This is in Kansas City, once the fringes of a great inland sea - so shallow marine fossils abound! It is located on the top edge of a natural bluff, enhanced by being an interstate highway cut, and is actually on the floor of an old stone quarry from the 1940’s - hence the probable erosion. At first glance I thought it the thorax of a

Hi, We hired a mansion that was abandoned for several years and strolling through the gardens I saw what I thought was a small concrete chair, hidden under leafs and bushes. I did not give it a second thought until the next day when I looked at it again and recognized it as a vertebrae, a big vertebrae. Upon giving it a closer look I saw that it was not concrete but more likely bone. And then I figured it could be a dinosaur bone, hence coming here and asking your opinion. Full width is about 60 cm, see pictures below. Thanks in advance. Best, Pi

Hello everyone, Does anyone know what it could be? ... is this Geologic or fossilized?, if it’s fossilized, what did it come from? And if so would it be a finger, or toe bone ? Found in the country of Mexico, specifically in the state of Guerrero, in a limestone mountain near some volcanic area or with tectonic plate activity, because there is quartz in the surroundings. I have never come across anything like this and around the discovery there are some pieces like these with some similar characteristics Thank you!!

I found this fossil several years ago while I was looking for shark teeth along the bank of the Potomac. The exposed cliffs in the area are part of the Nanjemoy formation, and the fossils I find are usually Miocene or Eocene. I have no idea what this fossil is (Maybe a tooth?). I figured that I would finally get around to posting this in hopes that someone on this forum can help identify it for me. More pictures available upon request. Thanks, Christopher

Hi everyone, My name is Dean, I live In Bath UK where we build a lot of buildings from white lias stone. We often find a lot of shell and ammonite fossils while dressing the stone, Recently we were digging a trench through a while lias bed in the middle of a field for a build in bath and I found a stone which was made up from pretty much all shell fossils, I bring them home for my little girl. I am an absolute newbie to fossil hunting and after browsing through your site I don’t even know if it’s worthy of posting! But my little one has asked me to find out what it is so here I am.

Here are a few things I would love to know what they are: #1 Black shale that we used years ago to make a decorative siding for the barn, what are those shallow pits? This rock is about 7 inches long. #2 This came from a different area in the Eastern Panhandle that was near a large creek. #3 Same thing as #2? Thank you for your help!

Does anyone know what kind of tooth this is?

Found this in a stream that comes out of a cave the other day and since it was so different from any other rocks in the area I found it interesting, then the more I looked at it I wondered if it could possibly be fossilized poo? I was hoping y'all could help me identify this odd rock?

Cannot remember how long ago I found this but it has been in my shark tooth collection for years assuming it was a shark molar of some sort but now that I am a little knowledgeable I know sharks do not have molars. Have not been able to find anything that looks similar online. Any suggestions would be great. thanks!

Okay so basically where I am, maybe this is just a funny looking rock I found on the creek bed. However I feel like it may be a dinosaur tooth or claw? I'm hoping someone can weigh in?
