Hi anyone know what kind of creature conglomeration this might be? Found in stream here in SE Michigan. Rock is fragile and crumbles away easily. Thanks for your help

This must come from Maine, where virtually everything is Devonian/Silurian marine. I was just whacking a piece that I had dropped off in front of the garage, at some time, with a hammer before tossing it on the fill pile when I noticed this. The whole thing, pieced back together, is about 3 cm long. One short section from the middle is not in the post. It looks sort of like a hollow golf tee. It seems to be entirely made up of beekite. No ?

Found a glob of something in a debris pile from the rock canyon anticline west of Pueblo. Approximately 3-4 inches long/wide. Wondered if anyone had an idea what it might be and if it would be worth trying to recover it?

I am checking for a friend... these were found in a river in Alabama. Is this anything you all can identify? I have no idea if it even a fossil but looks suggestive.

Sooo, I posted a bunch of finds I made last week on the Peace River, near Gardner in the Hunting Trips section and now I'm hunting for a few IDs or helpful hints. These are Miocene through Pleistocene in age, both aquatic and terrestrial, as I'm sure many of you know. I have tried to figure most of these out, so I'll hazard my best guess. Here it goes: 1. This first one I believe is a Carnivora molar, I'm guessing from a Canid, but I'm just not sure enough. It's unfortunately fairly damaged, so hopefully an ID can be made. Edit: I'm going to revise my guess and say I think its part of a Tapir molar, hope can do funny things with identifcation. 2. This little tooth I am waffling between small mammal canine tooth or the little long nosed dolphin teeth which come out of the river...I just don't know how to tell the difference. It is flattened, laterally, which makes me think canine tooth. It also has a small protrusion on one side of the enamel. 3. This I believe is a skull fragment, but I would be happy to hear other ideas. If it is indeed a skull fragment, any way to tell what it formerly belonged to? It is fairly thick (~2 cm at thickest). 4. I have no idea...it has a distinctive structure, so I'm guessing it can be IDed. It has a small protrusion, evident in the image which turns into a ridge. It is definitely broken on one end. Thanks for looking! Roddy
