You would be correct. This is a longer example than I typically have seen, but these are fairly common across the internet and gift shops. The teeth are likely real, but the “jaw” is either completely fake or an amalgamation of fossil, bone, plaster, and/or matrix.

It could be a very highly eroded section of an ammonite steinkern.

I found this on a northeastern Florida beach. Does anyone know if it’s a fossil and what kind it could be? Thank you so much!

I agree. Not a fossil, but a lovely example of dendrites. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrite_(crystal)

Well I was back searching for more fossils and guess what? I found the other piece!! It's heart shaped since it has that fracture.

I'm in the mineral camp as well.

Thanks man and thanks for the species name appreciate it by the way I do live in Barrie this is were i found my fossil
-
Yes, this is done frequently. Also the length and spacing of each tooth is much more regular than they were in reality. I will PM you some info since it also shows values, which we are not allowed to post publicly on this forum. The individual teeth are nice and the more "complete" ones have modest value. Gift from a patiant? Welcome to the forum from Illinois.

Found an odd bone that I am unsure of, I could use some help. Seems to be partially fossilized, and is from a site where I have found numerous fossil Bison bones and teeth. It has what looks like one flexor/joint end, but the other end isn't. Advice appreciated.

Hahahaha, they are definitely not chocolate. They are trilobites.

very nice, I can understand that you might think it could be a millipede or something like this But what you found is a special type of mineralisation. It is called "dentrites", minerals grow between two layers, more 2-dimensional and not like normal 3-dimensional might be this helps a little bit to understand Dendrite (crystal) - Wikipedia

I don't necessarily think printing a picture of a badge that says MOTM would carry the same kind of weight, personally, as something more tangible such as an e-award. People are motivated differently. What works for one might not work for 99 out of 100 other people.- 106 replies
