Hi everyone, New here! I recently found these a few weeks ago in the Badlands of Eastern Montana, in what I believe would be 'Hell Creek' formation. For clarities sake, my knowledge level is very low, and I'm not looking to sell anything. I hope the photos aren't too confusing visually. The posted photos are of 2 ea. fossils. I found these at the bottom of a canyon while out on a hike. They weren't poking out of deposit per se, but were rather tumbling down the drainage out of a hill side/feature. There were quite a few more pieces laying around where I found these. They are very heavy, hard, and have the feel and 'ring' of fired clay/ceramic. Also, both of them are two-sided, interestingly, as if they are the remains of something that was sort of piled up - or maybe 2-sided indeed. I did some googling and found nothing that resembles them. I did actually join today to get some help in IDing these form all you folks, but this is a VERY cool forum and, I think I will enjoy spending a bit of time here. Thanks a lot for any knowlege that is offered up. Your help is much appreciated! Rod

Hey everyone, does this look like a tooth? I found this during my rock hunting trip in northwest Missouri near Grand River. It's approx 1.5" tall, 1/2" wide.

This oddity’s origin escapes me. I’ve collected rocks and shells from anywhere I can. Unfortunately, I’ll have a few like this as I beg for help in identifying my accumulation. Sorry. I am in Texas and that is the most likely place of origin but I’ve gotten things from all over. Any help would be great curiosity sucks sometimes. Thanks for scratching my itch.

I am new to this forum so please forgive me if I don't do something right. I was rock hunting this weekend near a NW Missouri small river and came across this. It looks like a petrified animal LOL. I am just baffled! It is in pure rock form. It's about 1.5" tall and about a half inch wide.

The only descriptions I can find of these are just that they are fossil shells and have "uncertain affinity", whatever this means. Is it simply not known what organisms they were, animal, plant or otherwise? Are there some speculations?

Good morning folks. I have a strange fossil that "looks" like it might be a devil's toenail or ???? It is filled with what looks like ocean debris. It looks like a shell, but has way too many layers. It also looks like some sort of coral or stromatolite. It came from a box of rocks purchased at a yard sale so there isn't any ID information. Anyone know what this really is?
