Just posting some pics of some finds from Chivo Canyon from 2020 and 2024. Would really appreciate any ID inputs on the Unknown Fossils especially the roundish one with many circles in it. It was roughly 4-5" in diameter in the center of a roughly 1 foot diameter rock. Guessing Sponge, Coral, or may an Echinoderm like an Urchin. The Chivo Canyon area is known to have fossils from the Eocene, and Oligocene periods. There are also a couple other unknown fossils which could be bones but not sure. The Tower Snails or Turritellas are probably mostly Turritella Uvasana. I don't know what the other Gastropods are. Thanks in advance for any ID ideas! -Chris.

I am from South Dakota and mainly hunt for marine fossils. I also enjoy mineral and gold exploration. It's a treasure hunt with much to learn along the way.

I am going to start adding some images of my favorite finds which I call Collection Pieces. Identifications range from maybe, probably to most likely. I've only started to seriously collect over the past year. I've spent a great deal of time studying and learning Geology, as a hobby. I am located in Western Pennsylvania. At first, a map of the area. Anything in bright yellow is the Glenshaw Formation. The Ames Limestone layer exists between the Glenshaw and the Casselman Formations, which is the Orange color on the map. I have yet to explore the Ames Limestone, so I've only found fossils that exist in the marine zones below the Ames. Second and Third, are Metacoceras. The Fourth photo is of another Metacoceras. The id is slightly less likely as I can only see a few of the rounded spines. But I'm pretty sure it is one. Coming up next is a Mooreoceras that I found just this past weekend. I maintain everything on a website, that is listed in my profile. Thank you! Clint

Found by blue river in Kansas City Missouri. I have no clue what I have found. I always find small brachiopods,horned coral or bivalves in this area. It was difficult to get a good photo. The whole rock itself is about 10 inches long Hope someone can tell me what it is. Thank you VID_20240301_092103~4.mp4 VID_20240229_234758.mp4 VID_20240301_092103~4.mp4

Hello, This specimen comes from the Pennsylvanian Period of Allegheny County, PA. It is from the Glenshaw Formation and is probably Brush Creek Limestone. The texture appears to be bone. Thanks for the help.

Would like thoughts on this bone I found in Northern New Mexico, Colfax county, approximately 6,800 ft elevation. Area has lots of remnants of sea shells and marine life. It's concave on one end and convex on the other. I'm also including a photo some of the shell specimens that we're located in the same area. Im always out looking for fossils. I just enjoy exploring and searching for things from the past.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am new to fossil collecting and I have a bit of a mystery on my hands, any help would be appreciated. I found this fossil in NJ (USA) in an area well known for late Cretaceous marine fossils (shark teeth etc). I have been told that it is a claw from a ghost shrimp, but I’m struggling to verify that-honestly to my naive eye it looks like a starfish arm. This is an image from my microscope, it is approximately 1 cm in length. thanks!

Hi all, Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on this one. I'm thinking maybe some kind of coral or sponge, but I'm not sure. Found in Truth or Consequences, NM. There are quite a few Pennsylvanian marine fossils in the area. It's pretty heavily mineralized, but if you look carefully at the photo with the scale, there are two dark strands running across the center that are segmented. Thanks for any input!

Can somebody help identify this fossil? Are these vertebrae from a marine mammal? If so, which one? This was found in a quarry in Miocene deposits in southern France. Thanks!

A customer/friend of mine has bought a nice meg tooth and a bivalve from me for his boss for Christmas. He would like to get him a fossil book for a gift now too. He says one that covers marine and land would be good. Something to spark his imagination but also to learn from. He is looking to spend £30 to £40 on it, any pointers would be good please?

I found this specimen in Kenosha, WI on the shores of Lake Michigan in 1969 and have never been able to identify it. The backside contains what I believe to be Dichograptidae graptolites. Has anyone ever seen a similar specimen?
