Hello, I went on a walk a few days ago to the local chalk pit and of course couldn't resist spending a few minutes scouting for fossils. This is one of two specimens that I found, the other being a shell fragment. At first I thought the pattern might be formed by ice but I wasn't convinced and kept searching, managing to recover two other small pieces. My suspicion of it not being ice related was confirmed when at the bottom of the slope I found the more complete counter slab, with a layer of ice still covering part of the fossil. Needless to say this made for cold hands on the walk back but I wasn't going to leave it. And an enhanced version of the positive using RTI. If I had to guess what it is I would say bryozoan but I haven't hunted the chalk much before and don't know. The fossil comes from the Upper Chalk and is Turonian in age. Hopefully someone has a better idea what I've brought back. Thank you, Benton

Heres another. This is some sort of impression? Dunno. Does not look like much can be made from inspecting it but thought someone might find it interesting...or not.

Hi everyone, Wondering whether or not you think this looks like a Hadro skin impression. Basic Info: South Dakota Hell Creek FM Cretaceous 65 MYO

From the album Muncie Creek Shale Nodules
I believe the dark brown may indeed be skin while the blue part is cartilage. -
Hadrosaur skin impression?
BonuFrailman posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good afternoon everyone, I’ve previously seen some skin impressions on the auction site but not one for a low price like this one. However, I have trouble seeing where the scale impressions are on the fossil and was wondering if you guys could make them out, if this even is a skin impression. Fossil is 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm From the Hell Creek Formation near Baker, Montana. -
Found sifting through little flinty pebbles on South Isle of Wight beaches First, which I am most interested in, was actually found by my landlord. He just picked it up saying "a stone in a stone" but I noticed some striations coming out of the hole. So took it home and pulled the smaller stone out and you can see a teardrop shaped impression with radial striation and pimple markings. Impression is 10mm long by 6mm wide. Second is just a band of tiny circlish markings 3.5x2mm. Third is a little hole with vertical ridges, probably nothing. 4.5x2.5mm And finally a nice echinoid print. I've found something similar years ago and someone posted an even more similar picture of a Temnocidaris species so I'm sure that it's something like that. Area of clearest three circles 6.5x4mm

Hello, I found this very strange rock. It has what looks like a fossil impression? And this strange hole that has scale-like structures in it. Is anybody able to tell me anything about this? Sorry there's no scale, I couldn't find a ruler. It's about 10cm long. I found it in Northamptonshire, UK. Thanks.

Hello! I see this skin impression. What do you think about quality? Is a skin impression or mummy skin? The seller told me that belong to Kritosaurus. Thank you so much.

This looks too nice to be real o.o

This looks too clean to be real, especially considering all the frog fossils I see are of bones only. If this isn't a natural formation, how in the heck was this done? Cause it looks like real rock at the very least to me, and the negative impression itself does look natural(the edges of the frog features look weathered), apart from the incredible detail. Sorry if this is obviously fake, I don't think I've ever looked at more than a couple fossils in my entire life :/ -
I found these two today, looking for identification

Hey guys new here. Bought this item at an antique store and it looks authentic at some points but not at others. The amount of detail makes me think it is too real to be a replica. Let me know what you think.

I've been digging through an old stash of fossils I collected years ago, and came across this thing. I seem to remember finding it about 20 years ago whilst out walking in North East Wales, UK. It is quite lightweight for the size, and makes a very different sound compared to the dull thud of a rock, when tapped with a fingernail. There also appears to be some sort of impression prominent on the "inside" curve. I expect this to be something geological (or even archaeological), but on the off-chance anyone has an inkling what it might be, you'd be putting years of curiosity to rest! Also, there are small features throughout the rock/specimen, with some parallel looking grooves amongst them:

Yes, you read that right. I have a piece of amber with an impression, not an inclusion. I got a small order of Indonesian amber in on Monday & 1 piece had an interesting impression. The size of the impression is 2.5 cm wide x 3 cm tall & curved in an almost 1/2 circle as you will see by the pics. I'm seeing what appears to be a leaf of some sort, veins & all. I've never heard of an impression in amber before, not saying they don't exist, just that I had never heard of one. Indonesian amber is Early Miocene @ 10 to 23 MYO if that helps any. Pics 1 & 2 show the impression, 3 & 4 show the curvature. This particular amber type tends to be called zebra or cloudy amber for obvious reasons. The white areas are who knows how many tiny air bubbles trapped in the resin. This is (obviously) one piece I'm not going to be doing anything with. It's staying as is. I'm now going to search for impressions in amber on the web (this should be fun)..

thinking these may be a pair of really worn starfish impressions not sure I caught the right light to see the impressions though found in gravel load from West of Houston Texas from Brazos River.

From the album Dinosaurs & flying reptiles
Another view showing an area of what I do not know. I'm guessing it involves nerve fibers/channels. -
From the album Dinosaurs & flying reptiles
Another view showing more channels/cross sections of blood flow(the small solid dark gray areas), and nerve channels. I'm not entirely sure what the large dark areas are, although I believe it to be related to blood flow as well. -

Another view showing the spongy internal bone growth -
From the album Dinosaurs & flying reptiles
2 pieces of a triceratops skull with brain case impression. Blood vessels, veins, and arteries visible, as well as nerve channels. I have to contact in order to get the fossil information again. -
How could this possibly happen??? How would they eyes be so dark while the rest is barely visible? And not just that, how are the eyes just the silhouettes, and not solid? It's not like they were made of anything different, or different in any other way. They couldn't be have been fossilized in different ways. is this possibly genuine??? I totally trust this persons other stuff, this one just seems so impossible to me.
