Hello everyone! I'm glad to be a new member of the community. I purchased a treasure trove of fossils, arrowheads, petrified wood and other neat items. This looks as if it was professionally repaired, but other than a fossil I do not know. Thanks! Dan

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.

Here are some Before & After photos of the 2nd and 3rd fish at practiced prepping, and 1 coat of butvar. I sent 7 fossils off for professional prep and haVE about 35 full fish I'm going to do some art projects with and hang in a wooden frame. I used a razor blade, Q tip, and safety pin.

Hey Everyone, First time poster, just joined the forum. I will preface by stating that my fossil prowess is arguably non-existent, however, my quest for knowledge is great. My wife is a self-proclaimed "rockhound" and enjoys filling our home and backyard with any and all treasures found during our excursions. She recently came upon a treasure shown in the attached photos. I don't recall exactly where she found it, but we live in the Fort Worth, TX area and have not traveled too far recently, so it is likely local to North Texas. She is convinced that this is a fossilized dinosaur egg. I am not completely skeptical, as it does bear a striking resemblance to an egg and even appears to have a "shell." I am hoping someone might be able to help us identify if my wife really does have something wonderful here! Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

My names Anna, I'm a 20 year old fossil enthusiast. I love anything fossil, Rock, or Animal related. I've been Fossil hunting for a few years but I'm definitely still a beginner. Any and ALL tips are extremely appreciated. Especially where to find fossils in north Carolina. My favorite fossils are Plants and prehistoric mammals/Dinos.

This was found in North Idaho while rockhounding through a creek. It is abnormaly heavy for rock. Can anyone help me identify this? Here are some pictures. Thank you.

Is this a Hiodon or perhaps a juvenile Phareodus Testis?

This tooth is just shy of 4 inches, is this from an adult Spinosaurus? How big was it, based on the tooth size? I’m also curious if the bottom of this tooth is the root or worn enamel.

Good morning This was found along the water way of Lake Erie Ontario, Canada. Not sure if it's a tooth or claw. I have been told possibly from a bear but we don't have bears in the area so I figured it washed ashore from Pennsylvania. (Don't mind the hole, we drilled it to make a necklace for my son Lol). Thank you

Hello, I have these three fossils which I believe to be two pieces of vertebrae (one may be a piece of bone) and then a tooth of some sort. Found in the peace river, Florida. Thanks (I can also upload some closer photos if needed)

Found this strange fragment of cretaceous cephalopod- i found many others today, and in the past as well. However this one had a strange fragment that has been fossilized within. I cannot identify it, nor figure out why it is inside this small bit of cephalopod cast. It is rock hard, and i cannot break or bend the bits off that are sticking out.

Hi I found this one a beach England, I know nothing around fossils but it stood out as looks really like a tooth, due to fuel colour, one for where the root may have been when in the gum and one for the actual tooth. It’s shaped very much like a teeth (on display) I have seen before so got me interested. mid I could have this identified that would be really cool.

I found a small shell fossil on a piece and there seems to be other fossil imprints that have sadly wore away. I was wondering however, if I should try and break it open. Being such a minute find, it's not a huge deal if it is lost, but I am also new to this and don't know how likely it would be to find more fossils within. Note 01: The shell mold is very faint in the image and more pronounced in person. Seen on image No. 01. Note 02: There seems - to me - to be a fold or seam in the rock that would seem to make it easier to split with a chisel. Seen on image No. 01, on the bottom right. Note 03: There are crystalline elements on the surface, much like small quartz formations or granite particulate, possible suggesting a geode? .

I found this tooth when I was looking for Shark Teeth on an island outside of Wilmington on the Intracoastal. This is the first white tooth I've found in that area so I'm guessing its not as old as the shark teeth I find there. From research, I think it may be an alligator or a fish tooth? Would love some insight. Thanks!

Cris Tang posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications

They’re as follows, Thigh bone: Ulna Bone Tibia Bone @Troodon @LordTrilobite The seller will give me a day to consider about them. Would you give me some advice, please? Thank you very very much.
