Hello! I am new to the forum, and this is my first time posting. Today I was at Moolack Beach on the Oregon Coast (part of the Astoria formation, I think), and I found something I hadn’t seen before. I found it in the surf. Attached are multiple photographs. Please forgive the zoom/occasional blurriness. The fossil seems to be about 10cm (~4in) long, and 5.5cm (~2in) wide at the wider end. Thank you for checking it out!

Looking for help identifying a possible fossil from Oregon coast
Foxforce5 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! So I found this little specimen at the oregon coast. Specifically the beaches between Neskowin and Lincoln city. Its about an inch long and it is incredibly smooth. Is this a plant fossil? or animal? .... Just a shell fragment? Lol Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -
Found this odd concretion possibly a jellyfish. It was at washburne state park on oregon coast. It was in the sand mostly exposed thought it was trash at first a Frisbee or piece of styrofoam. But it's definitely stone, and was a week or two after our beaches were covered in a wash of jellyfish. No room to step between them even in most spots. This was found in the sand all the way at the back of the beach near the end of the sand that then hits the dune area and cliffs. I am wondering if it is of a jellyfish, maybe one that washed back further and stuck while the rest got swept back out?

Hi everyone. I found this tooth on an Oregon beach near Yachats in the winter of 2015. It was in the wrack line. It has never been properly identified, although I've heard some interesting theories/guesses from saber tooth to sperm whale to walrus. It is 3 inches long. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Found these 6 months ago on central oregon coast and haven't been able to ID. A buddy came over for thanksgiving and texted some pics around to other folks. Best answer came this morning as desmostylus teeth. I never would have thought teeth, they seem more like a coral or sea anemone to my untrained eye. Looking at pictures of desmo teeth, they are mostly smaller and heavily warn down. If these are teeth, were they unused/ or unemerged from the jaw like adult teeth replacing a baby tooth? Ill put up some more pics, and any info/ confirmation is appreciated. Thanks!

I have had this specimen for 30 or more years in a disorganized collection of rocks, shells and fossils. I am not sure if I found this in 1983 on the coast of Oregon, near Newport (where I also found some Pelecypods), or if it was in 1988 in a dry creek bed in DeRuyter, NY (south of Cazenovia, which is South and East of Syracuse). I thoroughly bummed that in my last and I hope final move this piece cracked and when I went to photograph it last night, it broke! Oh, and yeah, that is a golf ball I am using to show size, I couldn't find a single coin around! Photo #1 oblique angle, #2 birds eye view. Any ID help welcomed. Susan B.
