Found this specimen in a dry riverbed near Holden Utah. There are many circular and oval like depressions throughout. Looks similar to pine cone shape and indentations or stigmaria roots. Any thoughts? Cheers. Appx. 3.5” x 4.5” @ 1.5lb

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.

From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
This tooth most likely belongs to the Raytown Limestone member of the Iola Limestone formation. I found this during late March/Early April. I call this my first tooth as I happened to find one 2 hours away from this locality a few days ago. I will upload that one later.- 2 comments

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.

I found a few more pieces of what I thought was crocodile at first but now I'm not so sure. Then started thinking could be drum fish part but the photos I seen looked a bit different. So thought I'd ask. They are from north carolina. #1 (top) #2 (bottom)

Hi there. I found this about 30 years ago in the Kananaskis area of Alberta. I believe I was told that is was a horn coral fossil by a colleague that I worked with, when I worked at the Calgary Zoo. Can someone verify this for me? Thanks.

Please help me identify these fossils in a beach rock. Found on the central Oregon coast.

Posting some of the fossil was finding from Florissant thought was nice. Been having fun looking through shale, hopeful will found more later. #1 (Thinking it maybe moss) (it was to bad the better/darker half was paper thin and broke to pieces but this was still nice) #2 (Thinking its seed or fruit) ( like the first photo to bad part broke off) (next photo is second half is full) #2 (second half thinking seed or fruit) #3(nice little insect) #4(nice weevil) (second half was glued near first) #5(nice insect)

Is this complete, composite, reconstructed or fake? I am thinking definitely not fake, but always better to have second opinion. It is from Tiouraren formation, Niger. The sooner I get a reply the better, as it goes in 3 days. If needed, I can give more photos.

Alright everyone, let's hear the reason behind the screen name you chose. Surely there has to be some good ones. I will start with mine "sixgill pete" So, those of you who know me, at least digitally if not personally know my name is Don, not "pete". My favorite teeth have always been cowshark teeth, especially the Hexanchus or sixgill cow shark. One day about 18 years ago I was at some piles of material from the Lee Creek mine (Aurora) on private property with my grandson Nick. Normally in the piles if you find a cowshark, it is Notorhynchus (sevengill). Well, that day I had found 2 sevengills already when I came across a decent sixgill tooth Hexanchus gigas. My first sixgill. Root was not complete, but a decent tooth. I looked at my grandson and said I got one a sixgill tooth and his reply was "Papa for now on I'm going to call you sixgill pete when we are fossil hunting. So it kinda stuck. And, he still does at times today, at 24. So what is your story?

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)

Hi Group, I have no idea what is this. Is it possibly a stromatolite? maybe is it a moss or something? My father a collector had it, he was in commercial navy 50's-80's so this could originate from anywhere, but most of his fossils were from Morocco and Brasil. size: (approx.) : 10.7 cm X 8.2 cm X 3.7 cm weight: 299 grams No any reaction on UV lamp, nothing glows As always any help very much appreciated !

Hello! Thanks for allowing me to join. I'm a major rock hound. I live West of Ft Worth Texas. I found this after a heavy rain in my yard. I literally live on top of a rock. I have many arrowheads and fossils and petrified woods. Any idea what this could be? It is totally different from any other one.

Real or fake spinosaurus sacrum
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone I've been offered this sacral vert from the kem kem formation. The seller said its from a spinosaurus. He said he was told by one of his follower who was a paleontologist that this sacral vert was from spinosaurus and he said that he also did a bit of study to confirm that it was from spinosaurus. I think the paleontologist used the 2 sacral vert from the destroyed holotype for comparison. The seller also said that there were no restoration done on this fossil

Just wondering everyone's thoughts on the I.D of this. Seller states that is was found in the Hell Creek Formation, Garfield County, Montana. Says it was a surface/close to surface find. Measures just a little under an inch straight-line. Theses are the best pictures that were sent to me sadly. Been looking at it myself along with Hell Creek Claw guides and I can't put a finger on it what may be. Still new to identifying things.

Hi Friends. I would really appreciate if you could answer a fossil question for me. I purchased a Bolivian fossil from someone in Bolivia. They said it was a crinoid, but could not provide any other details. I wonder if anyone has any idea what its genus and species is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quil.
