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?

Avid amateur fossil hunter on the WI side of Lake Michigan here and the occasional find in the woods or even in parking lot gravel. 40 year old dad and 7 year old daughter team. Love the hunt, the find, the research, the aesthetic. Recent find attached. Nice size honeycomb coral. Basic, but a nice specimen for a weekly walk.

A Wealth of Trace Fossils from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan!
Pseudogygites posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Another day of great finds in Saskatoon! This time, some trace fossils. With my wonderful collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan's Museum of Natural Sciences still continuing, recently I have been very lucky to make multiple trips out to a beautiful site just outside the city of Saskatoon where massive deposits of glacial lake silt are exposed. This silt produces pristine grass and other plant fossils in abundance (I'd like to make a post about them soon as well), but also seems to be teeming with various invertebrate trace fossils. All are very small (under 1 centimetre wide). I've attached some of my best pictures below. 1 - 6: Overlapping Planolites sp. closeups 7 - 11: Edaphichnium sp. 12 - 14: Taenidium sp. closeups 15 - 16: Taenidium sp. wide shots 17: Taenidium sp. closeup

Was found while paddle boarding in lake water. Just curious what it could be? Never used this site before but any help would be greatly appreciated. Spherical in shape all the way around. Both horizontal and vertical lines around it but mainly the really close horizontally striped lines all the way down and around the piece

My son and I found this in the Leman Lake in Geneva. We tried to use Google, Yandex reverse search with the intent to identify what it could be be so far we haven’t been able to get any idea. can someone help us here? this would be much appreciated

The Photos attached are of the second of 5 fossils I have been unable to identify in the last 2 years. This fossil has been found on the shores of Lake Huron, in the Grey Bruce county area in Ontario, Canada. I’d like to know what species you think this shell fossil belongs to. I know little about fossils but find them fascinating. Thanks for your help in advance.

This is number 4 of 5 fossils I have been unable to identify in the last 2 years. This fossil has been found on the shores of Lake Huron, in the Grey Bruce county area in Ontario, Canada. The pictures don’t show it terribly well, but the flat base of this fossil/rock appears to be a large coral like shape that looks like it was circular shape but has been slightly eroded to give this 2/3 of a circle coral type shape. The material is raised slightly on the grey parts within the white part, and the white part is more depressed in/less raised.

I’m excited to hear what you think this fossil (and the other fossils I will be posting in the next hour or so) are. Thanks for your help in advance.

I took my family on a cross country trip and to do some overlanding in the desert. We stopped in Oklahoma to look for rose rocks around a lake. While taking pictures, I noticed this unique formation and the more I looked at it, it just seemed to look like a fossil of some sort. It was massive. I'm posting here to hopefully get some input.

I found this in an abandoned fish nest in a human-made lake. One of my favorite finds!

Any thoughts on this fossilized bone found along a lake shore in central Colorado?
Ig Kneeuhs posted a topic in Fossil ID
Came across this fossilized bone along a lake shore in central Colorado, a little southeast of the Denver metro area, and was hoping you all could help ID it. My initial thoughts were that it belonged to a prehistoric mammal of some kind but I have very little experience identifying specimens like this.. Also, I'm not sure if this is useful information or not since it was found in the sand by the water's edge, but petrified wood fragments were scattered around the area as well. Any posits will be much appreciated, thank you!

Hi again everyone! I have a small fossil from a unit of lacustrine laminated silt from here in Saskatoon from the very late Pleistocene or early Holocene. The unit directly overlays a unit of till from the Wisconsinan glaciation. The unit contains carbonized plants stems, some of which are filled with wood boring beetle larva frass, diatoms, and burrows similar to Cruziana. In one of these hollowed-out burrows, I found this fossil, which is approximately 0.5 mm in length. It is composed of many extremely small carbonized plant fragments, all arranged horizontally from longest to shortest. I have no suggestions to explain how such an arrangement could occur through abiotic means, and the fossil bears a striking resemblance to caddisfly larva cases, many of which are composed of plant fragment arranged horizontally. I have attached some photos taken through a microscope lens on an iPhone. In hopes of accounting for the rough image quality, I have included numerous angles and degrees of brightness to help illuminate the arrangement of plant fragments. Any help confirming the caddisfly diagnosis or directing me from my incorrect guess to a correct one would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I’m still trying to identify one fossil from a particular unit of Pleistocene/Early Holocene lacustrine silt from my hometown of Saskatoon, but I figured I would look away from it for a bit to try and identify another fossil from the same unit I’ve been unable to classify. I have two specimens, both apparently of the same species. They are both approximately 0.5 millimetres across. They are perfectly circular, with lines radiating from the centre and rings of alternating colours (possibly representing growth lines). One specimen is photographed dorsally, showing its circular shape, the other in profile, showing its umbrella-like, protruding outline. All photos are taken through a microscope with my best camera currently available, an iPhone! My main areas of middling expertise are arthropod and vertebrate fossils, so I have no idea what this is! I have briefly studied fossil foraminifera and diatoms in the past, but it looks like nothing I’ve seen in those areas as well. It reminded me of a small limpet, some type of seed or spore, or perhaps even a strange fish scale, but I have no formal suggestions. I’d highly appreciate any help! I will try to supply any additional information you may need. Thank you!

Just wanted help identifying these finds.

Hello, I found these fossils on the lake shore which is receding pretty far this year. The battery is 65mm in length, for scale. Pretty cool the bigger one has a hole going through the spinal column Thanks

Hi! Could someone help me identify this fossil on a stone found on the shore of Lake Erie, Ohio? Forgot to picture it next to a coin but the rock is about the size of a nickel. First picture is one side, second picture is the other side, same stone.

I found a lot of cool things at Lake Michigan and wanted to know if any of these could get an ID. Thanks!!! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

I found this on the banks of Whitney Lake in Texas. I have no prior knowledge of fossils, and was hoping somebody who did could help me figure out what this is. Anything would help, thanks.

I found these three fossils I’m pretty sure one of them is a coral but the other two I have no idea. Thanks in advance! Found in Grand Marais MI.

Hello everyone! My little brother made this nice find near Thrupp Lake in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK. The lake is close to the Thames river. It looks like some sort of shell fossil? The rock is about 8cm wide and 5cm tall. We'd appreciate any help identifying it! Thank you.

Ladonia fossil Park turning into a lake

What does everybody think about Ladonia Texas turning our Fossil Park into a lake -
Hello everyone! I am looking for help to identify this macrofossil sample of a leaf. It shouldn't be older than pliocene. Really struggling to identify it. Thought of it as Nothofagus or maybe Populus. Was looking for it in Zelkova, but nothing quite matches it. Does anyone know or have a suggestions, what it could be? Thanks in advance! Philipp
