Hello, I was hoping someone more experienced could shed some light on whether this object is anything of interest or if it's something man-made like a bead that happens to look like a natural formation. It was found in Rockford, IA at the fossil quarry, so Devonian if it's actually something fossilized. Is it possible it's a mineral formation of some kind? It's roughly 4mm x 4mm and non-magnetic. It seems to be well embedded in the rock. Thanks for your time!

Looking to try a new twist to the blind trade. I propose a blind trade for one item only. It can be a fossil or a mineral. Is anybody out there interested? I only ask no junk/ scraps. One decent item for another.

ID required for fossilized mineral (possibly amber)
Dude who wants Dino fossil posted a topic in Fossil ID
This fossil is not organic unlike my other fossils. But I believe it to be a Amber piece. Some people in my other posts thought it might be some other material, so what do you think? Since I firmly believe that this is Amber. -
Any ideas? It is made of a black non-magnetic iron mineral. I was thinking a cast of a septarian nodule........

I need help identifying this item. Not sure exactly what it is. A man from Texas told me it was the finest Coprolite he had seen in 30 years. I would like to have some more opinions.

I found this out at Mineral Wells. I think it is a mineralization pattern, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any insight or could confirm that to be the case. Most everything I have found has been crinoids or sea shell in nature. If it is fossil it doesn't really match with anything else I have found there. The other sides are just yellow to cream colored stone.

I found this walking, stuck in a dirt road right next to the Birch River in Nicholas County West Virginia. Just curious what others think it could be. I thought maybe it was just a strange mineral deposit. Sorry about the wonky tags for this post. This requirement is way beyond my knowledge in the area of fossils - which is nothing.

Hi all just for fun I was wondering has anyone on this site got a bucket list of rare specimens they love to have in their collector cabinets of curiosities. Also have you made any of those dreams come true by acquiring them. I think it would be great to know what wonderful, rare and fascinating objects inspire a collector's imagination. Some items off my bucket list too start with. 1. Stegosaurus Dorsal Plate, the most iconic part of this Jurassic dinosaur (need). 2.Excavated animal remains or bug from La Brea tar pits (need). 3. Dimetrodon fossil . ( got a beautiful claw). 4.Libyan desert glass (c.28,500,000 years old) (need) 5. Lunar rock (need... but if anyone has any spare, I will pay the postage LOL ) just the start of a list

hi all, a member of my local fossil club is wondering if the specimen he found in the bottom of a dam in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, might be a fossil, or just a mineral. The specimen is about 3 inches round. Sorry, but the 2 photos i have are only of a standard quality. cheers, kevin
