    Tooth fossil Flint

    New guy from Southeast Alabama here. Hello to everyone. Just wondering what you guys think that have a lot more experience. I know that this is a worked piece of flint but I find them all the time that are in the shape of a tooth. I think it's probably just coincidence just wanted someone else's opinion that knows a little more. Thanks in advance.
  4. Any ideas? All found on the Nueces Riverbed in Texas.
  5. Hello dear fellow forum members, I found this pebble at the north sea coast, quite sure there are fossil structures, but thats as far as I got. Any ideas? Scale is in cm. Thanks, J
  6. Hello all, Curious to see if you folks could assist me in the identification of this item. I came across this at an auction. Initially I thought it was a cast metal - non-ferrous (perhaps bronze) - depiction of a Peach, Lemon, etc., and was perhaps used as an altar fruit. But the material just does not quite fit the bill - unless the piece is made of quite ancient metal. Upon diving into research, I came across a "fossilized flint coconut" which had strong similarities, (however this piece has only one pore or 'eye') which then led me to learning about flint sponges, which also had strong similarities. Any thoughts or further resources would be greatly appreciated, Kindly, J

    Any ideas?

    Hi there, Made an account to help with ID. I found this along the river Thames, London, UK at work. Rock nerd friend has never seen anything like it, but thinks something - a barnacle? - in some flint. A "flint inclusion in cortex" she said. Whole rock is ~3x5cm. The cool bit is maybe 1cm in diameter. Anyone seen one of these before? Thanks
  8. Found yesterday, Frinton on Sea, Essex... Be keen to know thoughts!

    Mystery river rock - fossil or no?

    My aunt found this on the Chemainus River recently. Usually I can tell if something is a fossil even if I don't know what kind of fossil, but this one has question marks all around it. The rock looks like flint to me (at least chert - we have lots of chert around here but actual flint is not something we see very often here on Van Isle, so I'm not sure of that either). As you can see it is in the process of being sliced, so there is one cut surface to look at there, opposite the one that is glued to the wood block (pics 3 and 5). The glossy look is partly due to the rock saw oil still covering it. It is quite fine-grained in the 'bubbly' looking area anyway. Is there any sort of fossil that could account for the 'bubbles'? (e.g. sponge, radiolarian...? - just shots in the dark), or is it purely geological? Do I need to get microphotos of the inclusions for an ID? (That could be difficult - I could try a macro lens on the camera).

    Fossil in flint

    I was at a metal detecting rally near Sudbury (near Colchester) in the UK and while scanning the ground noticed an unusual but regular pattern in a flint rock. So picked it up, showed the organisers and took it home. July 2023. It looks like a long shell, but if you zoom up onto the "balls" there appear to be legs attached, centipede, or just a shell? Never seen one in flint before. Photo before and after washing with water.

    Fossilised material in flint?

    Hi, apologies if this is entirely inappropriate to the forum, interested in anyone's thought on what the mesh-like cellular structure found in this flint flake might be. The flake is approx. 15 x 10mm. The structure extends approx. 8mm from edge of the flake. Not sure if it's organic in origin or jus a feature of the flint itself. Recovered from foreshore in Chichester harbour area, south coast of England.
  12. I am an absolute amateur when it comes to this so do forgive me if I'm just posting photos of another rock! Found Worthing, West Sussex on the beach and the rock is flint I believe so usually I'd just be finding old echinocorys or the like around here. It's fairly large, 6 inches across overall and does seem to have some lighter patches on it that aren't flint I don't think? making me assume it might not just be a rock that's tricked me into lugging it home for a closer look again (I'm the bane of my own existence). Thank you so much for any help you can give with this one and my sincere apologies if I've been mistaken, but that's how I learn, right?!
  13. My 7 year old daughter and I found this last week on West Runton beach near to where a fossilised woolly mammoth was found a few years back. Curious to know whether its an animal or vegetation/tree fossil, or just some sort of mineral deposit. Many thanks in advance.

    Fossil eye or something else

    Hello- I have no idea about fossils but always pick up things up when out on walks- found this at the weekend on a ploughed field in Cambridge. Picked it up as looked like an eye but no idea if thats likely! Be very grateful if any input and hope the photos are sufficient. Great to find this fascinating forum!

    Is it a coprolite?

    Hi all, I found this on Monmouth beach on the Jurassic coast UK. It's about 4cm long and about 1cm diameter. Not sure how best to describe it... it's in one piece it's not separated in bits. It has raised vein line type things across it's surface. I just thought it looked like a poo and more than just a rock. Any thoughts please let me know, thank you.

    Flint Fossil?

    Hi All, I was hoping someone could help with identifying what this formation is within this flint I cracked while flint knapping earlier this week. The formation looks very organic and even plant like however I know that mineral deposits and other geological formations can seem like fossil material to the untrained eye, and my eye isn't very trained in this! The flint used was taken from a beach in Littlehampton, Sussex, UK. This flint is of Cretaceous age if that's useful at all. If you could add your input on whether this is a fossil or a geological feature and what it is exactly that would be great. Thank you all for your help

    obsidian/flint shaped weirdly

    found this in covehithe, sounds glassy so assuming obsidian, but whys it look like this??
  18. This little stone(?) caught my eye while sitting on Southwold Beach (UK). It’s basically a flint covered shoreline but the contours on this looked shell like. It could just be another bit of flint, but I’ve not seen this sort of weapon a piece before. thank you for any help - as usual
  19. Found at the beach yesterday and I am obsessed with this ai can't stop looking at it it seems to be a carved picture or something on top of some Flint stone what could this be?
  20. Stumbled upon interesting "imprints" and "casts" in one of our backyard landscaping rocks (Houston). The landscapers call it "Bull Rock"... I think it is actually "chert". Looks to be marine invertebrate fossils? Would that be common or rare in this type of rock? Wondering if it is worth searching more in the back yard?
  21. Hi! I found this very large and irregularly shaped flint nodule on the Thames foreshore, London. To me, it kind of looks like the branching arms of a sea sponge, but I have heard that flint nodules also sometimes filled the shape of animal burrows and other things. It has a number of holes/handles in it. What do you think it is?

    Flint sea sponge cap remains?

    I collected these off the Thames foreshore. I have been lead to believe that these are the remains of sea sponge (that they once held them, or were them??) but I don't really understand. Can someone here help confirm and explain this please? Thank you

    Strange flint fossil

    Hi! I found this strange piece of flint on the Thames foreshore. Is this a fossil sea sponge? Thank you

    Seashells in flint?

    Hi! I recently found these pieces of flint on the Thames foreshore (London) which look like they have seashells in them. The banded areas are raised/textured to the touch. Are these fossil seashells and if so, does anyone know what type they are or how old they might be? Thank you!

    Is this a flint fossil tooth?

    Hi, can anyone tell me if this is a tooth please? Found amongst the gravel in our drive. Thanks.
