  1. I think these are fossils but need someone to verify and possibly identify. I found these in a creek bed along the Little Harpeth River in Brentwood, TN. They were all within a 30’ area in the creek bed. Some may not even be fossils but figured I’d post pictures just in case they were. I’ve taken close ups of the first row and if I need to take some of the other rows I can. “A” and “B” are the ones I’m most curious about because to me they look like actual fossils. ”C”-“E” feel like a shell of some sort, like a turtle. “G” & “H” are cylindrical looking and sound like porcelain when you tap them against something. “T” looks like a finger and has ripples in the sides and is fairly heavy. Not light like a regular fossil would be. “U” almost feels and sounds like porcelain and I found it in the same area as these others. The last one is what I think is a turtle shell that doesn’t look to be a fossil but I’ll leave that up to you all to decide.
  2. Located on the shore of Otisco Lake and had not seen this previously

    Fossil or Rock?

    Hi all, I found this strange looking rock like object in a creek bed in central west Queensland. I don't know if it is a fossil of some strange rock. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Cheers, Andrew
  4. Hello everyone. I recently moved to central Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau where I have been enjoying hunting stone points in the creeks and woods. I recently found some chunks of what I thought might be petrified wood and would be grateful for ID help. Here are the details per the ID TIPS post: Date: Found February 2023 Location: Van Buren County, Tennessee USA Site details: bank of a small creek in close proximity to a spring Found with: a few stone points and stone point fragments and some smaller pieces of possible bone or petrified wood Dimensions: longest side approx. 79mm, width approx. 65mm, thickness approx. 45mm. Weight: 5 oz/142 grams thanks for looking and for any help.
  5. Can someone identify what these teeth belonged to?

    Possible Mushroom

    My wife found what appears to be a fossil and highly resembles a small morel mushroom. I understand that this would be highly unlikely so I am wanting to know what this is and if it has any scientific value.

    Is this a fossil?

    My daughter found this while on a hike through a creek bed. The top of the bank was roughly 20ft high. Tom Green county, Texas. There were a couple of pieces of petrified wood in the same area. I've seen plenty of animal bones, it has that texture, but the shape is peculiar.
  8. Went to creek I frequent but went down to a part I haven't been to for awhile, had several good floods since. Much to my surprise I rounded a corner and the bottom of the creek was pale yellow as far as I could see down. As you see in the picture there was shapes carved out by water, and it was very thick in places, but it was soft enough to break of pieces and it was grey underneath. So is this a layer of shale? If so why is it yellow? This may be natural in Eagle Ford and I've just never seen it in this form, just looking around I spotted this ammonite and just plucked it out. So now wondering if more fossils are deeper in this and how long it will take to erode down being so soft. One interesting calcite rock I picked up not far away, it's a jumble of pieces of fossils but the center has these fine layers of sheets with delicate veining I'm thinking is something that may be recognized.

    When a rock makes you scream...

    I found this while hunting the creek bed in the little woods adjacent to my house in Ireland Indiana. I was examining it and 3 seconds into doing so, my brain forgot it was a rock and I screamed and dropped it. I know snakes can't be fossilized but this seems to be a real petrified snake head. I was wanting your opinions and tried my best to get good pictures. What do you think it is?
  10. Arden

    What is it?

    We found this in a tributary of a creek that runs through my sister's backyard in St. Louis, Missouri. Also found druzy quartz, brachiopods, bryozoans, and other molluscs and a few geodes. It looks like burrows in rock (flint?) Top photo shows cluster of shells found at the bottom of the tube. The rock is about 1 square foot in size. Is it a trace fossil of a burrowing mollusc? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
  11. I collected this fossil many years ago as a kid, from a very rocky creek bed in Gorman, Texas. North Central Texas. No idea as to the geological age of the area. The "scales" have a slightly curved face that rises from the center to the sides, but not front and back. They also seem to be leaned on top of another similar to how normal scales are, all pointing the same direction. Almost looks as though the back side of the specimen has bone fragments visible? To my untrained eye, this what I assumed. From my own research, so far I assume it could be from a fish, similar to Lepidote? I'm an amature, so I'm really not sure. Any help identifying would be very appreciated!
  12. Hello, my son found this piece deep in the bed of a little creek that passes through our property. We are in Northeast Washington. Looks like bone to me. Is it fossilized? And does anyone know what it might be? Thanks a ton for the help.

    Rock Cluster - Fossil

    This rock appears to be several different rocks that have melded.
  14. HClapper

    Possible fossil?

    Found this while hiking in a mostly dry creek bed in North West Arkansas. Picked it up because I thought it was interesting. When I first spotted it I thought it was a piece of bone. Seems very solid, no porousness in the center or striations outside. Is it a fossil of something? Just a neat rock?

    swirl pattern

    Smilodon

    Hello, I'm new to the site. Recently, I found what I thought was a petrified banana in a creek bed. However, someone told me this is a Smilodon tooth, but it measures about 6 inches in length, and not quite two inches at the widest. I'm still betting on a banana:) Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
  17. Hi everyone! I haven’t been on here, or posted In FOREVER. These rocks were in a creek bed in Devine TX. When I found a pocket There was a soft sometimes liquidy sometimes dryer Chock like substance. There was three colors. Red, orange, and almost yellow. Is this what the cave drawings were made with?!?! I don’t have good pictures of the chalk stuff right now bat can get them later.

    New Help with an ID

    Hi my granddaughter and I found this along the creek bed in house springs, mo. I think that it is a bone of some sort and there are shinies in all the dark spots. Especially the top where the hole is. The hole is very porius I'm assuming because of the marrow. So I'm assuming it's old but just an amateur hunter here and never found any type of bone before I have more photos but these give the best description. 1st photo is standing up. The rings shine. 2 photo is of the side. Dark spots glitter. 3 is on the side but slightly turned. 4th is the bottom. 5 is front facing again bottom brown ring glitters. 6th Ariel view not very good.. 7th is of the dimensions of the hole. The whole piece is about 1 1/2" wide by 2" long. The hole is about 1" wide by 3/4" deep. Like I said the rings and dark spots are shiny like it has quartz in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know if it is for sure a bone, what kind of bone it is, and also If you know what animal it could be from, if it is a bone. Thanks everyone!!!!

    Cluster of crinoids?

    Hi thanks for taking the time to look at my post. Just for verification, I'm wondering if this is a group of crinoids in one rock? I found this near the Mississippi River in a Creek bed in Northeast Missouri. Thanks

    What could it be?

    I found this in the creek bed near the Mississippi River in Northeast Missouri. The size is about equivalent to a milk jug. Thanks for looking!

    Need ID

    What did I find?
  22. One of my finds from yesterday. Found it on the surface in a creek bed here in W KY. (That is 99% of my finds!) Apologies for not knowing the geology & time frame. Not quite sure how to go about figuring that out yet. Could this be a sponge or coral? It's about 12 cm long, 9 wide at the widest, & heavy, probably 2 lbs. at least.
