Nobody under 60 knows what that coin is or how big it is.

Well I'm in my 40s and I have a bunch of them so that's not accurate :/

Hi,

 

What @Sagebrush Steve  wants to tell you is that a penny does not make a good scale, because apart from the Americans (assuming that NH is an American state) nobody knows the size. So we won’t be able to deduct the size of your fossil. Nothing will be worth a ruler in cm or inches on an image, or even better: the actual size indicated in the message.

 

If you don’t have anything else, I encourage you to print the paper I made available in my signature and put your fossils on it before taking pictures. You can also laminate it (after cutting it smaller if necessary) to take it for your hunts.

They look modern waterworn oyster fragments (from the hinge region, as it was said) with nice bioerosion marks.

The fingers and paper towel texture were good enough scale for me.

I agree with Plax,  There are some situations -- like this case -- where approximate dimensions are good enough.  However, it is bad practice on this international forum to use a coin of any particular nation for scale in an image.  Better to develop the habit of providing the dimensions in mm or inches in the image or in the accompanying text.  A coin for scale is frustrating for some, annoying for a few of us.

 

SCALE is important.  Provide measurements of your fossil in millimeters and inches for the widest audience.  Don't use a coin for scale; there are many foreign subscribers who don't know your coin's size.
