Found this in a stream bed in upstate NY near Ravena, NY. It’s roughly 12x6in. To me it looks like the flower of a crinoid but I am no expert so I’m curious to hear some opinion from this forum. Thanks!

Hi, I found this trace fossil the other day and I'm having trouble identifying it. I saw something similar that was a coral with hexagons but I'm just not sure. Could you please give me a little help. Sorry the pictures are just from my phone, Thanks so much.

Hi All Found an interesting fossil in bracklesham bay in the UK, Sussex. We were looking for shark teeth but found this instead. I thought it may be coral or an urchin. I would also like to ask if its worth splitting it open with my hammer and chisel? Apologies i don't have a ruler. Included a pen for scale. Many thanks

Fossil coral found near the village of Palogne in the Belgian Ardennes.
Noobductive posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! This fossil was found by my older brother and father in the 2010’s on a riverbank near the Wallonian village of Palogne. I matched this locality with a map of known deposits in the region; there are both lower Devonian and dinantian-Carboniferous layers in this general area. Still, there are so many different deposits in the bigger region and since this was on a riverbank it could’ve been washed up from anywhere. Both sides and all edges are covered in either imprints, or the fossil itself (I am not familiar with it so I can’t tell). One side has more and smaller circles, the opposite side has less and bigger ones, and they are stretched/warped along the sides of this rock. It has been sitting on a shelf for years and years until I got into fossil collecting and my father gave it to me. I’d love to figure out what this is!

Found on a spoil pile in the Mazonia wildlife management area in northern Illinois. I'm leaning toward it being a chaetetid sponge, but I would like other opinions.

Good afternoon, I'm a noob here but over the past 3-4 years I have wandering our swamp and have found a few interesting specimen. One of which I believe to be a larger animal head as well as two interesting, well preserved pieces of coral, as well as (weight and measurements indicate) a meteorite. These are all from the swamp so determining age/layer is difficult. We are in a valley I believe it to be an old lake or river bed. Please see the attached images and share thoughts.

Found in Carboniferous strata. Any ideas?

Found this specimen along with 2 small pieces of coral while swimming in a lake in Southern NJ. (Also found another piece that I'm trying to have identified here.) 1cm in both directions and about half a cm thick. Appreciate any insight!

On our recent trip to Cape May Nj we stayed bay side in Villas and I found some pretty cool finds! The first photos I’m pretty sure are coral fossils (based on browsing this site) but the last few photos I am stumped. Any help would be great! My problem may be I have to great an imagination when it comes to rocks!

Hi all! My daughter has been picking through some sand mounds that were unearthed for a house construction by a lake in Three Rivers - was hoping I could get a few IDs for her and a recommendation for a good book for that purpose. She’s got a good amount so far so I don’t want to post them all. I forgot to tell her to add a ruler for scale but I’m hoping most of these are common and easy to ID Her favorite is this one - it’s matrix has blueish quartz(?) - hard to see in the pictures Thanks for looking!

Has an almost electric purple vein running the entire length and was hoping someone could identify it for me.

I found these two rocks in northern Italy. One seems to me like a coral? But I might be wrong. Please let me know what this is if you know! And the last one is a rock with a black spot on it. I have seen this shape on the bottom of a piece I bought with a lot of ammonite imprints and fragments, so I wanted to see if it is something or if it's just a geological pattern. thank you!

I'm pretty new to fossil hunting, I found this in some landscaping outside my work. I've done some research myself, i live in Ontario which is mostly Devonian era fossils, and I've read coral is pretty common. Could be entirely wrong and just hoping for some clarification!

Hi! I found these cool shells on Emerald Isle Beach in North Carolina yesterday and was wondering if anyone could help identify them. 1) Orange shell - this one is a super cool shape and also has some rocks trapped inside which is pretty interesting! 2) Purple/white - is this coral or just a cool rock? 3) Brown shell - also another cool shape (although it’s probably just broken) and the layering/colors are super pretty Thanks!

I found this little guy today walking by a sand wash. small but out of place in Farmington NM. far away from anything bit questionable sushi. anyways he looks like coral. or maybe a dragon talon . Well why not? It's almost as logical as desert ocean coral . Anyways if anyone cares to utilize their respected knowledge . If it helps I've found lots of petrified wood and 150+/- year old navajo Indian pottery fragments in this area

Are these just weathered rocks or fossils? There are 4 different rocks shown. The fourth one is a more random one, I don't quite know what it is. Thank you.

I was helping my dad do a little landscaping in Middleboro, MA. Very surprised (and confused) to dig this up! I was looking into it after I got home and if I ID'd this right I believe it's hexagonaria? I saw these are often found around Michigan. Don't know what it was doing all the way in Mass but there it was
