Hello! I found this triangular piece at the beach in 2019 in North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It looks like a fossilized bone or bone fragment. I checked my books and the web, but have not been able to identify this piece. Any idea what this could be? Dimensions are approximately 30 mm long, 19 mm wide and 6 mm high. Thank you!

Hello my friends father who was a surgeon passed away recently and after everything was finalized I inherited you could say a bunch of different fossils and stones. These were in a box I have about a hundred more pieces some big some small of what appear to be bone? Or maybe a tree or plant but I think bone. I cant tell you were he found them but he did dig them up himself and his daughter thought it might be at or around the ocean probably pacific that these were found. However she couldn't be certain. Please help!?

Hello, Folks! I openly admit I am not educated on fossils or geodes, but I do love rocks and have collected ones that spark my eye for years; however, on a recent walk I found a peculiar one and am interested to learn what (if anything) it might be. Can anyone help? Appreciate it! BLT

I searched every body of water on Rockd to see any sedimentary deposits that are near me; there is nothing. Everything is metamorphic, but then I came across Lytle Creek. I wen't on the map on Rockd and checked and it said something about sediment deposits. The info was too confusing; I couldn't find any easier info.

Hello all! I am a new member, and this is my first post. Could I please have some help figuring out if these rocks are petrified wood? Most of them were found in a small Pennsylvanian stream. It looks like they are quartz, crystal quartz, but I am no expert. There should be about two pictures of each rock. Thanks for your help, and I have more pictures of different rocks if needed.

Hi all this may be a dumb question or too complex for a simple answer, but what factors determine if a bunch of fossils found in very very close proximity are actually the contents of a dinosaurs stomach? Thanks!

I recently dug this rock out of a pile I have next to my house near Grand Rapids MI. I know I put it there many years ago but I can't be sure it originated from this area. There are a lot of things I don't know about this thing. I posted it on a rock forum and showed it to some rock hound friends and they all seem mystified. Some of them suggested that it could be a fossil. Maybe a type of sponge? That could have been a wild guess but I'm hoping someone here can confirm or deny that for me. It seems to be all quartz of one sort or another but the interesting thing is that it seems to be made up of pieces like a conglomerate but with almost no material between them. It reminds me of monkey bread, if you know what that is. Also, a lot of the pieces are solid on the outside but porous and sort of grainy on the inside. Enough rambling! Please let me know what you think. And let me know if you need any more photos or other information. Thanks!

Hi there Amateur Dinobot again, with the self isolation, I had some time to look back at a couple of my purchases. They were bought a couple years ago on a popular auction site. The sellers did not have a lot of reviews so it felt like a bit of a gamble. The first on I was told was a deltadromeus partial jaw and was found in Norther Africa in 2015. The other I was told was an Ankylosaurus scute. I dont recall if the seller provided any further detail but he is no longer selling items. Thanks for the input! Wasnt sure if they were identified correctly or not deltadromeus deltadrom

Could someone give me some information on these please? We going a lot of rock, fossils about 3 feet deep in our back yard. I think one is an ammonite. Thank you!

Again from my "museum". This one was found in Warren county outside St. Louis and as close as I could tell at the time, it appeared to be an imprint of a "tusk shell". Guess it could also be curved nautaloid? Haven't changed that opinion, but haven't advanced my knowledge as much as I should have either! Thanks for any thoughts!! Bone

So here are two more fossil "leaves"- one I found in Missouri but not sure where and the other (dark) purchased at a gem and mineral show in St. Louis when I was a kid-I have no idea where it was found, but I do remember it was a "local" show. The first was part of my early fossil museum ( at that time there was no fee for entering I was only 12!!! ). Am I correct with the little card?. Don't know how I came up with the species. I don't know the other one at all but it was "found" and then filed/sanded into this shape is all I know. Thanks for any help i.d.ing! Bone

Hi this is matthew again today in the creek I found a strange looking fossil I think it might be a cephalopod but i'm not sure can anyone be able to tell me what it is ? here is a photo

.also had this one since i was a kid-at that time I thought it was a tree branch (heh I was only 12 ) but now I would call it a "coral stem"?. the other coral septae/tabulae I have seen/found are always stacked together. Another south St. Louis county find. Any insight appreciated! Bone
