Took this picture about a year ago. I was exploring the shoreline on Denman Island. Group I was with was calling me back to leave when I saw this between some boulders. Snapped a few pictures because I thought it looked interesting. Wasn't sure if this could be a fossil, or maybe a concretion? Didn't have time to measure or get any closer for better photos, but it was thicker than a forearm and around the same length. Anyway, this is something I found online about the area if its useful. "Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group of southwest British Columbia is a >4 km-thick succession consisting mostly of deep marine siliciclastics deposited directly on the Insular Superterrane. " https://fossilhuntress.blogspot.com/2019/09/denman-island-concretion.html Any help is appreciated, always interested in learning something new Thanks, Jenaya

Found this fossil loose on a limestone shoreline on St. Joseph Island located at the north end of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada. I am a civil engineer and have some experience with rocks but I’m fairly new to fossils. Any help identifying would be great!

A few months ago, I encountered this peculiar, potential, bone along the shoreline of the Big Island of Hawaii. I noticed it’s porous material, but was puzzled by its overall appearance. I’m not sure if is fossilized or not; however, it is slightly larger then a standard quarter. Thanks for your time!

Hello everyone, I recently found this piece along the shores of Lake Erie near Sunset Bay, NY. I'm not sure what I have here and was wondering if anyone might be able to help me identify it. For a little general information, the piece is pale white and features small tubular / stacking formations throughout it. When held in the light, the little stacks sparkle. The piece is just a little over an inch in diameter. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. - Alex K.

This is the size of a 50 cent piece for those familiar with that coin. It measures about 2 inches in diameter - it's a bit oblong however. I can supply more photos if needed. Someone might identify this immediately with just the 2 photos. This was found recently along the Atlantic Coast shoreline along an outgoing tide after a storm. It's the shape of a top of a mushroom, even with the bottom having an a small indent in center. It's texture feels like pumice, and is light in weight like pumice. As you can see the tissue (or sheet) layers upon layers of holes that create this round small structure. Thank you.

Hello all! Thanks again for all of the great info on my Previous fossil! I AM ASTONISHED by how old my coral is! I have another fossil (hopefully) I am somewhat weary about.. its a small piece but to me I believe its a piece of petrified wood. Your thoughts? Once again I am eager to see if I am able to see how old this little guy is. You guys ROCK!

Hello all! I am somewhat new to this but very excited! I recently went on a hiking trip and found this rock (with some fossils) on it. Have no clue what they are; maybe you can help identify them! We were in Free Soil Michigan on the Lake Michigan shoreline when I came across the rock. Any and all help would be amazing! Thanks!!
