Hi I am Wondering if anyone could give this fossil an ID the seller called it “Carboniferous Eurypterid” and it was from Knob Noster, Missouri they said it could be Adelophthalmus what do you guys think? The first picture is the fossil the second 2 are Adelophthalmus fossils found from the same location

Hi again, Fossil Forum! I've got a stone which I think is wood, but it's iffy enough for me to ask for a second opinion. Found in Doña Ana County, New Mexico. There is a lot of it out here! Anyway, let me know what you think! Size is roughly 3.5 cm wide, 3.5 cm tall, 1.5 cm thick at its thickest edge.

Hi, This was found in a field in Macon county Georgia. It appears to be some type of bone and it’s in what appears to be limestone and is probably upper Cretaceous or lower Tertiary in age. Can anyone help me identify this?

Went to one of my local spots in the northern part of Davidson County last weekend and found a few unknown things within the shale. I know the strata is Chattanooga Shale and the era is from the Mississipian period, but these things are very different from what I have found in other areas of the same strata. Anybody familiar with these? Thank you.

Hi - I need help identifying whether this is a fossil. It has lots of ‘bone-looking’ parts sticking out. Hoping you can help. I found this while hiking in the Black Hills of SD.

Hello, here is a bone I found in the JRF about a week ago. It was found in a site with various dinosaur and crocodilian teeth. Thanks for any help. It is 3.875" long.

Found this while rockhounding pilgrim haven beach this weekend in southwestern Michigan to get anything not picked over during this years season when I came upon this. I have truly no idea what this could be, it looks like a fish to me but would there be any nice fossils this late in the season? And if so could it even be a fish? I thought we had corals, crinoids, bivalves, etc fossilized but this does not seem to be those.

Does anyone have any ideas if this is actually a fossil and what it could be? I found it in west Wales by the sea, and I've found fossils very similar to what ever composition this is like a kind of gritty, sandy, delicate rock with tiny crinoid. Bits in it and stuff like that, this one doesn’t have any signs of crinoid, but it has a weird black lump sticking out and something white so this is a fossil?

I need help to identify these fossils I found in the Nishnabotna River at Botna Bend park in Iowa. What animals and what bones they are, thank you.

This was acquired in petoskey along the water and I'm still not entirely sure if it's even a fossil at all, it looks like it could be a crinoid stem to me but there are people who know more about crinoid fossils than me

Hi, I found this earlier near the beach in West Wales, does anyone know what it is?

Just came back from Beaumaris Fossil beach and I have a load of fossils, I’d appreciate getting them identified I know that a few are sea urchins, and the shell but I’m just not sure about the other pieces Note: unfortunately I forgot to add a ruler/item for scale

Hi, I’m new to attempting to find pet wood. Was wondering if this could be an example. Found in b.c Canada

Maybe it’s nothing but this rock bone thing is weird and I kept it in case it’s anything significant. I found it on the beach today in seaside, oregon. I found it high in the sand above the tide line in an area with tons of rocks. I can’t scratch anything off with my nail , it is porous. It’s not light like I would expect it to be if it were wood. Any ideas?

Hi, I’ve recently been searching through some sifted gravel from a creek. I’ve been looking for microfossils, which I’ve had plenty of luck finding. All sorts of marine Cretaceous invertebrate micros are abundant in the creek gravel, as well as the occasional micro shark/fish tooth, scale, and bone fragment. I encountered a tooth that stood out from anything I’ve found so far. It has a conical shape, and is recurved. Something about this tooth seems very reptile-like. Almost looks like a tiny version of a crocodile or mosasaur tooth. The tooth measures 1 millimeter in length. I tried searching the internet for something similar, and have been unable to find something like this. The closest thing that I found was teeth from a jaw of a Coniasaurus that was found in North Texas. Here is the tooth that I found. It’s 1 millimeter from base to tip. The creek is located in Central Texas close to Austin, and passes through sediments spanning the whole Cretaceous geological column of Texas. From the Glen Rose Limestone to the Navarro Group. (~110-66 myrs). What do y’all think of this little tooth. Could it be from a small reptile like Coniasaurus and other dolichosaurs?

Found this on the pacific coast of Costa Rica, I know it’s not rare to find teeth on the beaches here however this has been weathered down so it’s smooth. Me and my friend are in a debate about what it is so any opinions or validations would be appreciated. I personally think a very old meg tooth

I found this last week in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area at one of the larger county parks. Anyway, am I the only one who thinks this might be a small ammonite in this piece of sandstone? You can see one of my fingers in the background to give you a size reference. If this is an ammonite, how would you suggest I remove it from the sandstone matrix. The whole rock is around the size of a softball. Thank you for all for any advice or comments given. Stay safe, Bobo
