Yeah I know, a bit of a reach. Supposedly other dinosaur coprolites have come from this locality. The likely culprit, if it is dino, would be hadrosaur as that is by far the most common dinosaur found at this locality (although still very rare). This locality is abundant in Paleocene crocodilian coprolites, but has occasional cretaceous finds. It appears to be coprolitic in origin to me based on shape, size (~4"x3"x2"), and texture. It is cracked as if it dried before being fossilized and it is much larger than any other potential coprolite from this site, and also does not seem like a random piece of phosphate for the previously stated reasons. Any input appreciated - even if it is in fact jar :).

This one is so strange that I caved and posted it. This is a 1.3 x 1.3 cm piece of stone. The photos show it in a few different angles. It’s just a little, weird ‘thing’

I grew up in the creeks, rivers, woods, caves, lakes and bluffs of western Cedar County Missouri in the Osage Plaines next to the Ozark Plateau. I've always been a rock hound but this world is new to me and there is a lot to learn, please be patient. As I was rehabing my knee outside of town on a dirt road, I started finding some petrified wood and other interesting finds, one of which looks like part of a petrified animal joint bone. The reasons as to why I believe it could be bone: First, is the shape. Looks like an articulating joint. Second, has hairline cracking typical of dead dry bone. Third, the cell structure, especially visible on the broken side has the porous, fibrous look and feel of dead dry bones. Fourth, I have found 2 other specimens in the past month that appear to be bone from the same site within 10 meters of each other. From what I'm reading, there shouldn't be fossilized animal bone in this area so I don't know what to think. What do I have?

I found this rock in Michigan, USA. I was wondering what this strange looking fossil is. If it is a fossil. My original guess was a horn coral fossil, but I’m not sure.

I can’t figure out what this strange looking fossil is.
Maximus the rock hunter posted a topic in Fossil ID
This fossil looking thing is very weird. It seems as if it has white scales on it, and squares all over it. Even weirder is this stair case looking thing on the other side, probably by corrosion. But it looks like it has a cubic lattice structure but I don’t know. This was found in the USA, it was found in Michigan.

Ok, so this was found in the Madison county area of Illinois. I was wondering if anybody could possibly identify this for me? This last image here is taken under a UV light and it sort of has a strange glow to it. Any assistance or comments would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Help on identifying species, age, and region of this pelecypod found in Michigan, US?
Zippy.Shrimp.Feet posted a topic in Fossil ID
I recently found a large stone hosting many of these pelecypods. I assume this is a limestone, as it has a slight reaction to acid, and there didn't seem to be any other super identifiable fossils, aside from some possible crinoid remnants. Its hinge is located far off to the side. These were found from rock placed along the Saginaw River in a small park in Michigan, so I can't say they were naturally from this area, but are local to Michigan. The ones I found range in size from about 25mm to 57mm. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone has any insight on the possible species, geological age, and where they might have originated from in the state? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided..thumb.jpg.6360f52d61816c80248b8c39c7192d1a.jpg)

Friend of mine found this near Agate Beach, Oregon on the Pacific coast. Looks like some kind of bone to me but no idea what. Measures approximately 10cm in all 3 dimensions

Anyone have any ideas on what these are. I know one is some type of snail. They were given to me by an elderly man. He appreciated my love of nature. I am in Texas West of Ft Worth

Hello, I'm brand new and know little, but this looks like a piece of petrified wood that was once maybe part of a tool. Does anyone know? Thank you

Hey all! Requesting your help identifying an interesting selection of teeth found by @jcor246 and me down on the ol’ Peace River, FL. (For brevity, separate ID posts featuring the non-toothy specimens collected on this outing will follow shortly.🆔🆘) Thanks, Jena and Josh

Hey everyone just wondering what this is…I found this in my back yard in Minneapolis MN. I don’t know if it came from this spot or if it’s from some flagstone I hauled in. But I noticed the large small shell cluster one first and said well, let’s have a look. I’m pretty sure I know when and what the small shells are but the other one I’m not sure at all. It from a split clump that I picked up. after submitting and trying to zoom in the pictures weren’t very good. You have to look closely all over anyway. It’s easy to gloss over. But there is stuff going on all over this thing. I’ll upload some better picture later when I can arrange a better setup
