Found on a beach in Yorkshire. Not entirely sure what this is. Many thanks

Hi guys Went over to Sheppey yesterday to see what I could find... I'm a total novice, so I tend to pick up anything with an interesting shape and/or texture. Found some pyritised wood/twigs, a bit of crab in a phosphatic nodule, a little gastropod and some very round seed pods. The following pics are of the ones I had trouble figuring out due to their shapes resembling other things. Any clues would be great! Thanks ONE I'd like to think it's some kind of pointy reptile scute, but from my browse online it's possibly a pyritised seed husk? 3rd pic shows the depth of the piece and a VERY smooth and shiny blob inside TWO & THREE LEFT: Again, probably a seed pod/husk. Has a pitted texture similar to a piece of crab shell, but a lot less uniform. Kinda reminds me of a Tapir toe RIGHT: Possibly a shrimp? lobster? Maybe some clustered belemnite parts? Looks like a very full hot dog bun haha. Had to wet it to bring out the details. FOUR I thought some encased bone or wood? Online research leads me to believe it could be a lobster burrow? The back is solid light brown rock with no inner black part showing through. FIVE Had to dunk this one in some water to get the details and colour to come out. 3rd pic looks a lot darker and shinier for some reason, but it's not coal. Fossilised wood- with possible bug borings? (based on the dotty parts in the 2nd pic) Hopefully there's something vaguely interesting here haha Thanks for looking

Please help me identify these finds from the bottom of a clay cliff in Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey a - 0.5cm thick, almost flat, smooth on the other side b - i think this is not a fossil but a handle of an old knife c - round in cross section d - this is hexagonal in cross section the remaining ones are all of the same kind and the beach was full of them, i guess they may not be fossils either but what are they?

ID help- possible turtle carapace? Found on Caspersen Beach, Florida
LJB posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! I’m new here, but I was hoping someone would be able to help me identify this fossil I found a few months ago? I believe it is a turtle carapace or something similar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Beach 'Finds': Are Any of These Anything in Particular - or Just Curious Stones...
JamieC7696 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Forum, These I found whilst exploring Shotley Beach, just by Felixstowe in East Anglia, England. I've taken two pictures of each ('front' and 'back' - they're all very flat); but I can provide more if something's really of interest! Regarding nomenclature, we can refer to them as A-G. Best Regards Jamie

Hello everyone we came across some cool finds at the old hunstanton beach uk one looks like a tooth or claw (could be a rock or flint) the other is an impression on what I think may be wood (it’s very lightweight) IMG_0430.MOV

I found this on the beach at the surf side northern tip of Hatters Island, North Carolina (Outer Banks). Anyone have an idea what this might be? My first guess was shark tooth but not quite sure now I've seen more samples. Also, any idea what the small dots are that kind of form a triangle? Thanks, I'm just starting to get into this hobby.

Hi! I found this sponge on a beach in Gdynia Orłowo, Poland. It was embedded in sandstone.

While I was on vacation in the Outer Banks in North Carolina, I picked this up while collecting seashells. I was hoping maybe someone on here would be able to tell me what it is. The rock itself is about 4cm long, while the shell that was impressed in it is about 2cm wide, and 2.5cm long. I'm not 100% on it being a bivalve, but in person it looks too asymmetrical to be a brachiopod.

Hi all, this is my first post here. I found this the other day on a north shore Long Island NY beach, down at the water's edge. Looks like a partially peeled hardboiled egg. Was wondering what, if anything, it could be? I've tried to research as much as I could, but running into dead ends. Thanks in advance!

Found this on beach. Was blacker when wet. The knobbly bit drew my eye. Once home and cleaned I could see there is a smoother black core running through it. Is this some sort of bone? Any ideas anyone? Thanks

We found these at low tide in a very heavy blue clay area of the beach. Thought they might be mammoth tooth? Please help ID

Hi, I have a 6 year old son who is obsessed with finding stuff on the beach. (In Essex) The other day he brought something over to me and I’m convinced he found a fossil of some kind. He now wants to know what it might be, and so do I! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all, Just finished up a vacation in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Each of these three teeth were found in the ocean swash upon crushed up shells. Can anyone identify any of the three? The last one (I did post in a separate thread, but figured I include it again) is just the tip (which looks pretty large to me as it’s almost as big as a dime - attached multiple photos). Really can’t determine what this might be? Looks very old and worn.

I found this strange looking rock along the cliffs of Maslin Beach, South Australia. The beach is a fossil hotspot for shells but this doesn't look like a shell to me... Any idea what these strange lines are?

Hello! I found this piece in Portsmouth RI this weekend on a shale beach (picture attached). I'm just not sure what the shale is attached to--- it *looks* like a piece of bone, but I've been doing some image searches and cant find anything really similar. Sorry for my hand in one- I couldn't get a clear shot of the edge otherwise. Thanks so much in advance - I appreciate any insights into what this might be! Emily

Hi all--I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm here because I am interested in identifying something I found, but I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy hanging out here. I found this on a beach in North Carolina while shark tooth hunting. This is from "the point" at the west end of the Bogue Banks at the Bogue Inlet, in the town of Emerald Isle. I've scoured the internet for matching photos and I can't figure out what it might be...the closest I've gotten is some kind of duck-billed dinosaur tooth. But I'm sure that's wrong. It doesn't look like anything I've found before. I appreciate any insight folks can provide! IMG_9749.HEIC IMG_9751.HEIC

Hi all - I just discovered this today on the beach and have no idea if it’s a fossil or a useless piece of garbage lol. Found sitting in the sand, nestled among rocks on Youghall Beach in Bathurst, New Brunswick (Canada). About 10 feet from the water line, but near the high tide mark.. so would have washed up there with the tides. There is a bit of crusty sand still on the front - I’m worried to try and scrape it off. Just curious if this is ‘something’ or should be tossed out. Any ideas are appreciated!

I found this on Ocean Beach in SF. It looks like an echidnoid to my uneducated eyes, but there may also be something else. Any help appreciated-thanks.

Hi ! So I've found on the beach in french Brittany thousands of those stones (fossiles ? Thingies ?). I started to search the internet to ID them and I stumbled across this website via this post : So basically they look a lot like wormcast you typically see on a beach but they are solid and look like limestone. I don't know much about fossils so I can't really tell but they definitely feel like limestone and other fossiles I've found before. Another information that might help with ID is that basically I found them amongst litterally thousands of those but there was no other place were I could find such things anywhere else on the beach. They were in a place with a lot of other seashells, covering an area of maybe 2m² . I find all of this very intriguing. Do any of you have an idea of what it is ? Have a good day

So, hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico removed a lot of the sand from the beaches by pulling it back into the ocean unearthing artifacts and other objects. On my trip I found a lot of these in one specific area of the beach while a was walking where the water touches your feet and the sand is wet. This one was the biggest I found (3.5” tall and 3 1/4” wide), and the others were about 1.5” tall. I only took this one. They all looked the same/similar and that caught my attention. Thicker on one side and thinner on the other half. So, were they all megalodon teeth? The surface looks like a rock with sand encrusted in it. If it is, My guess is because it was buried in deep sand and got like these instead of the nice black ones a see online? Don’t know. Let me know what y’all think

First time poster. Found these on a Canadian Beach on the east coast and they all seem to be from the same plant. They all have a very distinct triangular ridge on the side. Included photo is from the pieces with the best defined ridge.
