Hello everyone , Could any of you fabulous fossil hunters tell me where I can best find fossils on Crete? Thank you, Yvonne

Hi, all. My family and I only got into fossil hunting in July, but we already have made a few trips to collect them since them. Most of what we've found are small impressions in larger rocks. It's nothing that would likely impress anyone here, but we like them. We would like to clean them, and I have seen a few YouTube videos showing how to use vinegar to remove dirt and some of the surrounding surrounding rock. If I put a fossilized impression in vinegar for a few hours, would it destroy it? If so, what would be the best way to clean/prepare them?

What percent of original material is actually preserved in fossils?
Somethingwicked posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
So, I know fossils are largely replaced by minerals which turn them to stone in the shape of the original (bone, tooth, whatever). But do some minerals survive? For instance, does the original calcium in the tooth or bone remain? What percent of a fossil would you guess is original mineral vs replaced mineral? -
What would be the best general all around informative fossil book to date, or what might be considered a base knowledge data set?

I found this in the bed of the Dry Frio and it’s larger than most of the other ones I’ve seen which I always believed were sea shells. This looks similar to how a fish fin looks and it looks fleshier and in one spot there is a chip missing no thicker than a 16th of an inch And there are lines running perpindicular to the lines on the outside. Does anybody know what these are?
