I found these “two styles” of what I believe are unusually fossilized bones on the beach in Tel Aviv. Rather than ask for your input on them individually, I am looking for an idea of “the process” that occurred, and then will ask about what they are (please feel free to answer both at once....). The items on the left are a very pale tan. The ones on the right are the ones that have me totally baffled. They are more of a light gray. Thank you!

This ENTIRE ROCK is a fossilized “something”.... part of an animal? I hope the pictures show all of the unusual features, etc.

Hi there, i'm a newbie. Sorry pls correct me if i do something wrong. I found root fragment of a Sharktooth 5 years ears ago in the Negev Israël, and i believe its a carcharoles. In a month i'm going for a Sharktooth Hunt again in that part of the Negev desert. Hoping Cor a good haul. Anyway to make a long story short. I found many many creataceous sharkteeth in the Negev. Almost every specie. But what i can understand that i found a tooth fragment from an younger era. Hope somebody can give me clues to find out which Carcharoles specie this fragment belongs to. Greetings Mike Zijerveld

Hi All, An acquaintance of mine noticed this fossil, embedded in a step stone in his parents’ garden, after many years it sat there unacknowledged... I don’t have a lot of information about it, but what I do know is that it’s in Israel, the stone’s origin is most likely from a strip mine 5km west of Jerusalem (Kfar Shaul), the total length of the fossil is 6.7 cm (~2.64 inches) and that it’s a limestone with a reddish hue… unfortunately that’s about it. Personally, I’m not even able to determine whether this is a fish or not… but I’m definitely curious… Can anyone help me identify it or at least narrow the options a bit? Thank you!

Please help me identify this artifact within an ammonite fossil...
dbarshlomo posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all! I found this limestone ammonite fossil in mount Carmel, Israel. Diameter is approximately 19cm. I removed the stone matrix from one of its sides and exposed a few remnants of something that looks like a coil running along the inner curves of the fossil (also mistakenly removed part of it when I just begun revealing it). I added 2 pictures that present the fossil and the detail I don't recognize. Can anyone help me identify this coil-like artifact? Thank you! :-) -

Hello! is it possible to find shark teeth fossils in Israel from oligocene-Pliocene?

Being a newbie to fossil collecting, I usually go to the same creek on mount Carmel (Israel), which is a 10 minute drive from where I live. This time I tried another location, less than 2 km away from my “usual” spot, and to my surprise, although I couldn’t find any of the specimens I usually do (which are mainly ammonites) - I did find 3 pretty large fossils of another type of sea snail, which I’m not familiar with… I’ve attached pictures of 2 of them (those that were in a better condition) and also a picture with a scale to better present their size… Could anyone help me identify them? Thank you! :-)

Hi, I found this specimen in a place I usually find ammonites, nautilus and sea shell. I'm not sure what this is, even not if this is actually a fossil... The matrix, and the outer part of the specimen itself is limestone while its interior is flint. I tried to carefully remove some of the matrix using a cp engraving pen... but the more I uncover it the less I understand what it is I'm looking at... and I'm really curious :-) I've attached a colleague image with pictures I took from different angles... Anyone has an idea? I'd like to hear from you! Thanks...

Fossils from the negev desert in israel and a fossil shark tooth from the east coast
mattbsharks posted a topic in Fossil ID
These first two fossils I picked up while hiking mountains in the negev desert in Israel. I think one of them is a sea shell with a barnacle on it. I'm not sure about the other tubular one. The final one is what I believe is some sort of mako. -
Hi, Is it possible to say more than Baculites on this specimen? It is 12mm in diameter. Campanian, Mishash foration, Israel (Central Negev area). Many thanks, Oz

Hi! Found this one last week in the Makhtesh Hagadol (Israel). The formation is called Matmor and is supposed to be Jurassic. Mostly limestone/chalk and it was partially still in the rock. Any ideas about this fossil?
-
Found this on a hike in Negev desert (Israel). It feels like a stone, but the shape is somewhat unusual for a stone. Could it be a piece of petrified ginger root? Any ID help really welcomed - and thank you!
