    Louisiana finds collection

    These aren't my only finds but these are the "big" rocks that I have. I've found a lot of pet wood (no palm sadly) and a lot of agate (which ain't a fossil!) down here which is always a treat to find. Anyways here is the first picture of my collection, showing the overview.

    Fossilised Coral on Megalodon tooth?

    I just got a megalodon tooth a few days ago. It has coral on the top of it. Is it fossilised or modern? The tooth itself is estimated to be around 5 million years, and it was found in Wilmington, North Carolina.
  6. The Utah geologic map describes the location/formation as Manning Canyon Shale (lower Pennsylvanian and upper Mississippian) with black to brown shale with numerous thin beds of light-brown-weathering, gray, fine- grained, shaly sandstone, some lenses or beds of rusty-weathering grit, and one or more thick beds of gray to black, cherty limestone; at least in west contains some beds of light-brown quartzite; shale is carbonaceous with occasional nodules of marcasite. The area I was exploring the most was this type of rock - thick beds of gray to black, cherty limestone - as described above. There were several outcrops of limestone ridges along the rolling hills on the west side of Utah Lake. The area is BLM land with a sign at the gate reminding visitors that Shooting is Not allowed because of the ancient petroglyphs and risk of wildfires. Also, no collecting on this location. So I took only photos and left only footprints on this excursion. Here's the images of what I saw. Standing on an outcrop of limestone with Mt. Timpanogos in the left background, 11,752' summit. This elevation is around 4700' ASL. And just below the lizard's head is a fossil that I think might be bryozoa. There are also at least 3 lichen species mixed among the fossil. Brown bulbous, gray and orange ones. Zoom in to see the fossil best. Thanks for any responses. Steve

    Agatized Coral?

  8. FossilFamily_24

    Sponge?

    I’m sure I will happen upon the right website at some point to identify it, but haven’t yet… certain it’s easily identified by the experienced. Can anyone help? I assume it’s a sponge? Maybe coral? Type? Thank you. Illinois.

    Not sure what this is?

    Hello all! I was out and about this weekend and came across this unique piece. At first I thought it was limestone, but it is to dense and has a porous feel to it. I found this in SE South Dakota down and old tractor road. I am wondering if it is fossilized coral or ??? What do you think? Thanks for your time in advance!
  10. Hello and thank you for looking. I found this rock in a dry river bed in Nayarit state, Mexico, near an ancient petroglyph site next to the river. I always thought it looked like a little frog, but have not been able to figure out what it might be. I really appreciate your help. It's heavier than the common volcanic lava rock from the area.
  11. I’m guessing it’s fossilized coral however the white things in the holes are throwing me off. Any idea?

    Chaetetes?

    Hi, everyone. I found this rock yesterday in Illinois. I was thinking it could be petrified wood. I had my doubts, so posted elsewhere looking for an ID and received a response of “some type of coral”. Later in the night, while looking up fossil corals, I happened upon the word “Chaetetes“. When I looked it up, a few pictures seem like a close match…maybe exact? I’m wondering what the experienced think about it. Thank you.
  13. Hello my friends father found this weird rock in a stream near London, Ohio and was wondering what it was, it looks vaguly like some coral i think or maybe a mammoth tooth what do you think it is?
  14. Hi all! At last Friday’s Dry Dredgers meeting, I handed over the two Ordovician fossils below to Dr. Carl Brett for the Cincinnati Museum Center! Standard business card for scale. This coral, which I have wrongly been identifying as Favosites sp., is from the campus of Hanover College in Indiana, in their Dr. Daryl Karns trail system. This was donated with permission from the Hanover College Geology Faculty. This Treptoceras sp. comes from the US-68 road cut in Maysville, KY, Kope Formation.
  15. Hi, please could someone identify this fossil I found in st bees, lake district? thank you!

    Unidentified coral fossil -Maryland

    Recently found this coral fossil which seems to match rugose corals from the Carboniferous, however it was found in the lower Chester River, Maryland, which is considered Paleocene. I was also suggested ‘eridiphyllum’ and ‘disphyllum’, also from older than expected periods.
  17. Or the tiny stuff I cant use to lift lol. Anyways first we have a nice big honeycomb coral, very sparkly, not sure why its like that.

    Newbie help please

    coral Really green guy here.Found this one the other day in Florida .Would like to know all about. Looks like coral to me. Thanks
  19. I found this specimen in the bed of Stonelick Creek in Batavia Ohio. This heavily tumbled specimen was very unlike all of the other Ordovician limestone shale rocks in the bed. Presumably it arrived there through one of three modes: 1) the creek carried it from a more distant source, 2) it could possibly have been carried by a glacier, or 3) Native Americans formerly lived there and it could be a manuport. At first I thought it might have been a meteorite but alas it I concluded it was a fossil due to the low iron content, the relatively low density and the bubbly nature of the specimen. The specimen is about 6 inches long and images coral1 and coral2 display the side and top of the specimen respectively. From the Atlas of Ordovician Life I suspect it is a tabulate coral of the syringophyllidae family and the Calapoecia genus. Is this reasonable? I would appreciate any comments.

    Found SWFL - looking for help w/ ID

    Hi! I’ve found a good amount of fossil shells and coral today. Some I’ve been able to search on this site an others for an ID. But there are a few I’m not sure of and also might not be shells or coral at all. I’ll list some pics below. Any help is appreciated!

    Heliolites Coral ?

    Howdy, I was wondering if anybody could tell me what they think about these rare coral fossils that I find on the Oregon Coast. They are agatized and take a nice polish. Thank You

    Rock with holes

    Hello! I found this rock on a former river bed in a forest in Romania. If it helps, the rock type in this area is from pleistocene. I tried finding a simillar one with the same pattern and color but couldn’t find one. Thank you in advance! .

    Please help ID

    My 14yr old daughter picked this out of the hillside about 100’ above creek level. We have property in the Slippery Rock gorge area of Western Pennsylvania. I’d like to give her an idea of what it is specifically and round about age if possible. I love her enthusiasm. This is her first find. The entire piece is roughly the size of my palm. Thank you.
